Hi Carful,

From the stones you posted, I'd be most interested in the K VS personally, it could be a really nice diamond if you aren't interested in having a top notch cut, but it's pretty good and should be a nice fiery diamond on paper I would estimate, but the vendor can help you assess further.

The medium blue fluorescence is a nice bonus in a K colour but I would ask, have you seen any reliably graded K colour diamonds in person? They can show a tint especially from the side, not something I mind at all but your mileage may vary.

Out of these, this is the one I'd be asking for an Idealscope or ASET image of.

Also if you give us an idea of budget and your priorities, we might be able to hunt up some suitable stones to help you.

I take it this is for a ring?

Thank you Lorelei!

I am looking for something between 2.0-2.5 carats, j or k color. (K doesn’t bother me one but.). Excellent cut, eye clean. It will be an upgrade and I would like it to be in a classic 4 prong Tiffany style setting. Max budget of $15,000.

I think #3, the 2.20 K VS1, has the prettiest cut. I would have to see the color in person, though.

#4 2.25 J SI1 looks like it is cleaner than the other J, so I would choose it of those two. Definitely less tint than the K. Pretty cut, too.

I think the inclusions right under the table in the first two would bother me.
