Taking the plunge! Requesting help for my first LGD

[lynahs1295]

Hi everyone! It has been a while since I have been on PS and I really would like to take the plunge into the LGD world! Really hoping @DejaWiz and @Kim N see this as they seem to be so willing to help and very knowledgeable as well

My wish list: 2ct +
Not picky with color, not looking for blinding white color but def want to stay away from warmer stones
MRB with gorgeous fat arrows
Would like to purchase from somewhere I can purchase a ring setting and have them set it. Looking for a simple YG, 6-prong setting
Total budget: would like to stay under $5k for stone and setting but slightly negotiable.

I am not good with angles, percentages, etc as I have always been an old cut fan and this will be my first modern cut ring!

Thanks in advance for any assistance! You all are so helpful and awesome!

wow thank you both!!! to my eyes these all look wonderful! really appreciate your finding these for me!

i should clarify, my budget is up to $5k but ideally would want to stay in the $3500-4000 range but was willing to go higher for an exceptional, sparkly stone

of the ones you both posted, is there a favorite one that wows you?

My favorite is the 2.50 G VS2 I posted.

Here's another option that fits your ideal budget.
