Hi again everyone,
After a lot of searching, I can't seem to find the perfect OEC diamond in my budget so have decided to look for a round brilliant. I would really appreciate your help with this as I'm relatively new to the process (and very excited!).
Budget: $5500-5700 max for setting + diamond
Setting: $1910 (Tacori: http://www.tacori.com/59-2rd65)
Ring Size: 3.75
Ideally, I would love a diamond in the 0.80-1.00ct range that is bright white with no visible inclusions. I have been looking around and found several diamonds that I think might be good contenders (all HCA <3.0, some <2.0). I would love your opinions. A couple are ACA or Expert selections and have Idealscope images. The others do not and would only be available once I purchase the diamond which is part of why I need your help! All are GIA certified except the first ACA one which is AGS certified.
1) 0.82ct I/VS2 ACA/Hearts and Arrows $3660
Depth: 61.2
Table: 56.6
Crown Angle: 34.8
Pavilion Angle: 40.7
Cutlet: Pointed
Measurements: 6.02x6.03x3.69 mm

Hearts image
2) 0.85ct F/SI1 $3802
Depth: 62.4
Table: 56
Crown Angle: 35.5
Pavilion Angle: 40.8
Cutlet: None
Measurements: 6.05 - 6.07 x 3.78 mm
3) 0.90ct H/SI1 $3787
Depth: 63.5
Table: 58
Crown Angle: 38
Pavilion Angle: 41.2
Cutlet: None
Measurements: 6.08 - 6.15 x 3.88 mm
4) 0.92 G/SI2 $3554
Depth: 62
Table: 57
Crown Angle: 35.5
Pavilion Angle: 40.8
Cutlet: None
Measurements: 6.21 - 6.24 x 3.86 mm
5) 0.81 H/VS2 $3268
Depth: 58.9
Table: 60
Crown Angle: 32.5
Pavilion Angle: 41
Cutlet: None
Measurements: 6.11 - 6.13 x 3.60 mm
6) 0.84 H/VS2 $3440
Depth: 61.5
Table: 56
Crown Angle: 34
Pavilion Angle: 41
Cutlet: None
Measurements: 6.09 - 6.11 x 3.75 mm
These last two are from Blue Nile so I would have to buy and then have it set at a local jeweler:
7) 0.90 I/VVS2 $3369
Depth: 60.6
Table: 59
Crown Angle: 33
Pavilion Angle: 40.6
Cutlet: None
Measurements: 6.23 x 6.17 x 3.76 mm
0.9 I/VS2 $3388
Depth: 57.4
Table: 63
Crown Angle: 33
Pavilion Angle: 40.6
Cutlet: None
Measurements: 6.39 x 6.38 x 3.67 mm (I like the bigger spread of this one)
Thank you all so much in advance for your help! I'm also open to suggestions, though I prefer to buy from a vendor that is an authorized dealer for Tacori (or has a great relationship with one) so that they can do it all at the same time.
Thanks!
Sherry
