Firstly, just want to mention how helpful the Diamond Screener tool has been! Thank you for this, it’s helped me narrow it down to this diamond.
I’m hoping I’ve done OK here – I’ve currently put on hold this diamond and just want a second opinion to see if I’ve picked something that is considered good value. Playing with budget around $3,000 -$ 4,000 USD and looking at round labs between ~1.6 – 1.8 ct. Looking to set it on a 6 prong 18k yellow gold solitaire.

How did I do? Any help/advice is much appreciated.
Cheers
Looks good!
The only thing I might suggest is lowering the clarity. Something like the F below would trade two clarity grades and 0.1ct for a color grade and $1k. And then the 1.73 E SI1 would trade two clarity grades for a color grade and $400. Otherwise, I like your pick.

Thanks for that Joe, that’s reassuring to hear! Will consider the other options as well.
Cheers,
