what is the best 2 ct round with a 10k budget

[usa1983]

Hi all, what would be the best 2 ct round with a budget of 10k. It will be going into a solitaire ring.

This is the closest I could find, but it's only 1.8 ct (you likely won't find a good-performing stone for that budget at the 2 ct mark) and it's slightly over budget.

You didn't say anything about color or clarity requirements so this is what I could find that hits the 2 carat mark but are still over budget. But a K will be warm in color.

Thanks I'll review the options, when I saw them in stores I originally wanted to stay H or above in GIA but with my budget I understand that I will have to go down in color. I would like eye clean that's as close to H as possible. One of the local small jewelers said his broker has a GIA 1.95 , I, SI2 that's eye clean for 10.7k but I am still waiting for the specs on debth, table, etc to check it on the HCA tool.

SI2 that's eye clean

If you end up deciding to go with this diamond (a nearly 2ct. SI2 that is eyeclean) please post pics!

Si clarities must be checked for transparency and haziness issues form twinning wisps and/or flourescence and/or clouds. Be very careful using a drop shipper. Make sure you have them verify the stones do not show any of these issues before they are shipped. Even if it delays the shipping. Okay?

 

[usa1983]

The local diamond went to another place to view and most likely sold so I am back to where I started. I would like to stay at J or above even if it's pre owned one. Do you all think it's possible ?

 

[ac117]

Realistically, no. Your budget is low hitting the 2 carat mark. I posted two J color stones for you above that are very close to it and I recommend you look at.

Pre loved option:
