Let us know what you find out.I knowI was hoping that a cbi in my size with a lower color (LMN) would be in my price range. I'm not sure about a special order, but I can ask! I always assume that any specific/special order will cost more, and the idea was to save $ haha. But good thinking, might as well ask!
My daughter's Ering. He knows I like diamonds.So is it the ring or a ring???
If it's the former, he must have got himself in his future FIL's good books just by asking for help and buying well

I know that "crying over spilt milk" is pointless, but hopefully others can commiserate with me a little on missing out. I emailed David from DBL almost exactly 2 years ago about this diamond (obviously I've been considering going this route for a while). This is the EXACT color I want, and it would have been a great size at an (almost comically) low price. I know it isn't a PS-preferred cut, but the color just gets me every time. Of course now it's long sold.

I can’t keep track anymore... remind me of the sizes as well as color/clarity of each choice? As well as where they score on HCA and the three GIA criteria (cut/polish/symmetry).Heard back from IDJ, and they offered this stone:
https://v360.in/movie/59_2172
Scores under 2 on the HCA, but don't love that "polish" isn't X. It's under my 3K preferred budget, which is wonderful.
Also, this stone: https://www.b2cjewels.com/dd/11771925/Round-diamond-K-color-VS1-clarity got back with ASET image. What do you think?
This one is 3200 ish--so more expensive than the one posted above.
Finally, the JA one from before with this IS image (below). This one is also a bit over 3K.
Anyone have thoughts on these 3? @sledge @ILikeShiny @TreeScientist
Also talking to David from DBL tomorrow, since he had the "stone who got away" from before.

Sorry for delay. Had to spend some time with the honey. Comments below on each stone.
Angles aren't the most complimentary, and 80 LGF's. On still picture you can see where the angles is beginning to rear it's ugly head (see red marks).
Oh, for some reason I thought you were putting it in a solitaire! A halo makes the color of the center stone more defined. I wasn't in love with the color of my O color stone unset. I knew I needed to make the color an asset rather than a negative. Caysie said the yellow bezel would bring out the yellow in the stone, and she was very right! I wouldn't recommend O-P without some yg around it to bring out the color. Here's my ring with the O color stone on the top:
As far as K color goes, it will appear the slightest champagne in a white halo. I kind of wanted to set my K antique asscher in a halo because I do like that color contrast, too. But I thought the size of it was better for me without a halo. It looks mostly white as it is set in prongs.
Those are two separate rings she is wearing. The O-P is on the top.
