3 carat round diamond

Yes, the people here can help you find a worthwhile diamond. Price is a huge consideration but the diamond’s performance is the most important factor. You can link random diamonds all day but if they don’t fall within accepted parameters, you are just spinning your wheels. Do you have an absolute bottom line budget? If so, state that and they will try to find a diamond for you with top notch performance even if it means dropping down in size a bit.

I'd avoid it due to the bigger 58.5% table and very steep 41.5° pavilion angle.

Stick within the following ranges:

Is this another IGI certed stone? This would likely grade as an H or I color with GIA. Is this stone priced like a H/I color?

A super ideal will look whiter due to the cut. There is a thread with I color triple x GIA versus a K color AGS 0-the face ups look very close due to the cut.

It's not one that I would recommend.

Since you're also looking at around 3 carat G VS2 graded by IGI, have a look at the super ideal cut sellers around 3 carat H-J VS2-SI1 graded by GIA or AGS.

This one suggested earlier would blow the doors off of any of the diamonds that you've asked about and will be brighter, have more sparkle, appear more lively, and give you one heck of an upgrade program for life:

1mm makes a big difference. What size finger is your girlfriend?

Sorry contention. Thid is g color. So will it still be too warm yellow?

Is this 3 carat G Color vs thr 3 carat true heart I color from white flash? Is the i color for 3 carat be too warm yellow for a big yellow diamond. I saw the 2.3 carat I color in person and it was too warm yellow.

Right, but you saw an IGI "I" color which GIA would grade as J or K color. I honestly believe that you would be wowed by a WF super ideal in I color. For your budget, you should be wowed.
 
I think the best thing for you to do is to look at a IGI I color next to a GIA I color in real life.

Here's a Blue Nile stone for you to consider:


For the same price, I would with the larger White Flash stone, if it is eye clean. There is a mark up for the Astor designation.

An IGI 'I' is very different than an 'I' from AGS or GIA.
 
I would 100% go with the 2.95 from Whiteflash that lulu_ma posted.

so any of these are good for TH? 1.5 there are 2 choices. Are they both equally good? So 3 carat I color won't be yellow warm and by happy for thr size and color?

Do you think this 2.53 f is better than the 3 carat I color from WH?
