Hello, I’ve used the cut estimator as well as the diamond screener but I’m in analysis paralysis right now 😰
I’m looking to maximize the carat for an “ideal” cut for H/I VS2. Ideally in the 1.7 – 1.9 range. Budget is up to $17k for the stone. Thanks for your help!
No, I don’t think the 2.01 I VS1 will be too warm.
Perhaps I can simplify it with some options. You might consider the ones below. The 1.79 I VS1 hits all of your criteria and keeps you under budget. The 1.7 H VS1 goes up a bit in color since you were concerned about the 2.01 I VS1 being too warm, but I don’t think the difference in color is that much. And then the 2.01 I SI1 hits 2ct like the 2.01 I VS1, but keeps you under budget.

I was looking at this stone (out of budget), but not sure if it’ll be too warm…
