Would this stone maximize value?

Hello, this is my first post, so I hope I didn't do anything wrong.

I am looking for something large and sparkly that would appear white in a piece of platinum jewelry. My gf wouldn't look at it under a microscope, but she might hold it up next to another stone set in a piece of jewelry. From what I've read online this appears, with the exception of it being just over the 2 carat mark, to hit a lot of the parameters I am looking for. I am not ready to purchase right away, but I might be getting close in the next 6 months. Still saving money.

Would you look at this and let me know what you think?

The photos appear to show good light performance, it is an AGS 0.

1. In the 2 carat size for a round, which is where I am looking, can I go as low as a J or do I need to be in the H or I range? Should be looking for medium fluorescence with J or should I upgrade a color or two?

2. Is this a pretty good looking SI1?

I posted here bc this one looks pretty good to me and I was wondering what might be missing from my knowledge base.

I would appreciate your help very much.

1. It is upto your gf's preference and color tolerance. I have a J. I love it. This person is ordering 6ct+ J VS1. https://www.pricescope.com/communit...-between-these-2-diamonds-5-ct.234004/page-12 There are other members who own 2c+ Js. At the same time, some people cannot do Js.

2. I would not call it a good SI1. It is not bad either. The white crystal blends in well under a white diffused lighting condition. For other conditions... it is a tough call.

Add it to your shortlist and keep looking.

I guess I didn't notice at first that the imperfection was right on the table.
