Does the "pointed" cultet mean anything bad? thanks!

I''m sure it will be gorgeous. From what I understand, a pointed culet is not a bad thing.

Beautiful! However, if I were buying a diamond for a pendant I''d lower the clarity and color to maximize the size. Are you looking for something in the $2K range?

do the numbers look alright?

Yeah exactly, under 3k for the whole thing, so 2k to 2.5 k for the stone alone. thanks for the tip. how low in color or clarity would you go?

I would go with an eye clean SI1 or SI2, I or J. A well cut J can face up very white. Also, it's on your neck so you won't be looking at it so closely, like you would with your ering.

I found these two:

0.722 ct I VS2 A Cut Above H&A around $2589 5% bank wire/PS discount

0.744 ct G SI2 A Cut Above H&A around $2657 5% bank wire/PS discount (check if it''s eye clean)

It looks lovely, but as others have mentioned you could go lower in color and maybe even in clarity to go bigger or save money.

thanks for all your responses! and snlee thanks for the suggestions!
