Hey Joe,
Would you please show me some options for a 1 ct round diamond around $10-11k?
$10-11k is more than enough for a 1ct round diamond. The 1ct G VS2 below would be a nice starting point since it would work with whatever ring you have in mind. You could just get that and call it a day, but if you want to go further then it’s about your priorities – what kind of metal for the ring (i.e. would it be worthwhile trading off color), would you prefer a larger diamond within your budget vs. maximizing savings, would you be OK with higher fluorescence?

In that case, you might consider the options below. The 1.22 D SI1 has the same diameter as the 1.3ct diamonds, but maxes out the color to D, so I think it’s a better choice than the 1.3 H SI1 (which is just there for comparison). The 1.3 I SI1 is a bit cheaper if you want to stay under $10k. And then you can hit 1.5ct with something like the 1.5 I SI1 if you don’t mind trading some color.

Hey Joe, thanks for the reply. I didn’t realize I could get a larger diamond at that price point. I’d like to find the largest diamond I can at that quality level for no more than $11k.
