Trying to find a diamond

[HudsonsLady]

I am trying to find my perfect diamond, but every time I find one that I like, I can't get the company to send me an ASET on it. Is this always such a problem?

My budget is $21,000 for the diamond and I would like H-I VS2 or better. Also, THE BIGGER THE BETTER.
I love the Tiffany solitaire setting at Brian Gavin, and found a diamond that I liked (good price-I could go up on the wedding band), but was told that they can't send an ASET on the stone. Since it has a great HCA score, and it is a reputable place, does that mean the stone is great too??

Not sure what to do!!

a few other options:

This one scored a 2.4 on the HCA which isn't great, but it's the biggest I could find that was clean and faced up white for a J:

Others:

I'd confirm this one's eye clean:

Obviously can't go wrong with this one:

If you like the first two, put them on hold, and ask for idealscope images. Obviously you already have one for the third one. But If you like any of these then put them on hold and ask what JA discount they'll give since you're a PS member.

I am a little confused. Were you looking for a diamond at Brian Gavin? That is what I recommend if you want to buy their setting. You don't need an ASET on a round. You just need an idealscope image.

Link the stone you are talking about. BG provides idealscope images for all their stones.

All I am seeing of in-house stones with idealscope is this at $23k, 2 ct I VS2:

And this which is even higher:

Not seeing anything even close at BG at H-I VS2.

Oh, that is just a stone owned by a diamond supplier that is something they can order but it is not a Brian Gavin stone. I wouldn't do this one as it is very good on symmetry. I'd want excellent on symmetry for sure.
