Recently expanded my search from an OEC/OMC lab to an actual antique stone / ring. I am trying my hardest to use some seasonal discounts to my benefit, and stretch my budget the furthest! - and humbly ask for any available assistance from the group of expert searchers and finders assembled here 
REQUEST: If anyone happens to see any great Old European / Transitional Cut antique diamonds or engagement rings while perusing Black Friday / Cyber Monday deals, I'd be forever grateful for you to passed them along here / to me and/or share your advice on any found/shared here to date...
I know it may be ambitious, but here are the specs I'm looking for: ~2-3.5 ct OEC / OMC / Transitional diamond or diamond ring
...As well as some initial pretties I've found/am considering from my own searches thus far (and would love any feedback / insight on stones / styles included!!):
Thanks in advance for any help you may share by way of feedback, links, good luck wishes, or otherwise!!

- beyond carat, ideally looking for ~9mm width/coverage across finger (min ~8mm, to a max of 10mm diamond)
- prioritize fire / pastel flashes & consistency across facets (in brightness, contrast, and symmetry - with minimal dark spots or shadows/windowing and no crushed ice areas or too disproportionately long facets that stand out/draw attention)
- open to warm diamonds, even light brown or peachy hues
- also open to rose cut or antique step cuts
- if set, prefer yellow gold, but open to other metals
- obviously open to lab diamonds (which is why I shared the highest carat / dimensions comfortable with; I don't know that I'd find a natural diamond of that size within budget for this piece)
- Budget: $10-15,000
...As well as some initial pretties I've found/am considering from my own searches thus far (and would love any feedback / insight on stones / styles included!!):

- 30-stone bezel: ring posting **really like bezels, making this another top contender
