Hi Joe, I would love some help on finding a round cut diamond around 1.5 ct, budget is around 11k, looking for something above H color, and VS2 clarity. Been looking for some days, but just been overwhelmed with the choices.
Thanks
Hi Carter,
I know you listed VS2 as your clarity limit, but I think the SI2 below would be eye-clean. The feathers are white and should be eye-clean. The one at 7 o’clock is on the pavilion side, so it can be hidden under a prong. The one under the table is 0.16mm wide in real size terms, less than the width of a human hair. The one at 11 o’clock is fine and off to the edge.

OK, I was trying to find the cheapest 1.5ct that I thought was eye-clean. If you need VS2 clarity, then you might consider the options below. The first option is the same price as the 1.51 G SI2, but trades 0.11ct for two clarity grades. The second option maxes out color as compensation for not hitting 1.5ct. The third option gets close to 1.5ct without the price premium associated with the milestone number.

Thanks, Joe, are you able to find something above VS2 clarity, that one is a pretty strict requirement. I am open to going down a bit on the carat if it means getting something of a better quality.
