looks good but I would try to see K colors in person or get it shipped out to you before setting to make sure you are OK with the color.

Cut looks fantastic, just try to see K color diamonds in person before you go forward as slg mentioned. Or ask Jon to video it next to higher-colored diamonds with similar cut. You may realize that the color bothers you more than you expected and you might have to drop size instead, or you may realize you love it and want to stick with it or go even warmer.

I love the solasfera princess cut! K color will probably show some tint but solasferas are such lively stones...have you seen
the stone in person? Can you get a video of the stone?

Edit ...this video may help you some. Its a round cut J colored stone compared with a princess solasfera J colored stone.
