That''s a gorgeous stone.
Dont'' worry about the rap price, it''s a moot point. It doesn''t take into account cut quality I believe, and a well cut stone will cost a lot more than a poorly cut stone of the same size.
That stone is an ACA, it''s a superideal, fantastic cut, they look fabulous, You would be hard pressed to find a better cut. The colour and clarity is fantastic, and what a size. It''s also in budget, I honestly would stop looking now. You have got a winner there!
That price is what you would expect to pay for a really well cut stone of that size, colour and clarity. You would pay a lot more in a B&M store and it wouldn''t be as well cut more than likely. WF pricing are generally fair. You get what you pay for, you could find a cheaper stone, but it wouldn''t be a sparkler like that baby!

Hi Elmozoe. You will love that whiteflash stone. I actually bought very a similar stone about a month ago 
Here is the link:

It appraised very well and is stunning. I have some great pics I want to post but I can't get the file size to fit!!! Good luck!

Have you tried Picasa? You can google it - it works well to resize pics for this forum. We would LOVE to see your new rock!
Sorry - didn't mean to hijack but I think this poster would be well served to see this stone! My center stone is a 2.22 AGS0, G color, SI1 clarity but it is not an ACA. Just think if she wants to compare apples to apples this would come as close as any!
I have found this stone. Could you kindly advise me on this, please?

In comparing the 2.02 stone, the stone is a D as opposed to the other stone which is a G; however, the G stone is 20 pts. larger for basically the same money.
The A Cut Above stone from Whiteflash has numbers and cut quality that no one would ever question.
What is it about the D color stone that catches your eye more than the G?

I am quite new to diamond buying. I have a budget and would like to seek your advice on what is the best stone that I can get for $36K-$38K. I prefer the stone to be at least 2 ct.
Thanks so much. Looking eagerly for your advice
Well... that''s a GREAT budget! you should be able to get an amazing ring!!! Is $36-$38 for just the stone or for the setting and stone?

The D stone looks good. But the G stone is definitely a hearts and arrows cut (which we do not know about the other stone) and it is larger. I think when you''re spending that kind of money, you might want to go for the larger one since it has nothing objectionable about it and it is known to be top cut quality.
