The Diamond Anniversary Ring

[GamGam]

My Dear Husband and I will celebrate our 60th Wedding Anniversary next month. Traditionally, the 60th is the Diamond Anniversary, and we are planning to order me a Butterfly ring from Whiteflash. And, I'd love to have your input as we (me, really) select the stones for this ring. The budget for the center stone is 22K, and I am not color sensitive, so am looking at J color. I would like the stone to be around 2.25 carats, and VS2 clarity. I have reserved a couple of side stones reserved(ASG-104114892018 and ASG-104115033044). They are virtually identical 0.523 J, VS2, ACA. So, if you could take a look and help me, I would be so grateful. Thanks in advance.
GamGam.

Oh wow, congratulations on your upcoming anniversary!

I love the diamonds you've reserved as side stones.

This would be a lovely choice for your center stone, and fits right in your budget.

For me, when it comes to ACAs, I would simply maximise size as you already know the cut will be sublime!

As far as I know, WF will check whether a stone is truly eye-clean or not. I tried to maximise size, as that is usually my preferred parameter, and so my pick is the 2.41ct J VS2 at $21.8k, which is a slight bump in size compared to the one previously posted (8.6mm vs 8.4mm - just on the cusp of perceivable. It depends on what size centre you would like!). I would have WF pull both diamonds and send you videos and pictures comparing them both to each other as well as posing them with the side stones you have selected. You can't go wrong with either. Enjoy!
