Hey Joe,
I have a Budget of $5100
Looking for a princess cut stone from James Allen, going with the infinity setting with the side set princess stones. Any suggestions from an expert like yourself on the best I can get for my money?
Any help is appreciated
Hi Paul, does the budget include the diamond only or diamond + setting + taxes? If the latter, can you link to the setting so that I know what the budget for the diamond is? Also, do you have any minimum requirements for color and clarity?
and yes I know, I pushed my budget a it with two of those :/
I think they’ll all be nice. I think I’d go with the 1ct G VS1 to stay under budget – otherwise, I might like the 1ct G VVS1 over the 1.02 G VVS1.
You might also consider the options below – the VVS2 would give you an extra clarity grade over the 1ct G VS1 and the 1.01 F VS1 could give you an extra color grade under budget.

Thanks Joe! The f color vs1 you linked, I noticed a spec on the face of the table l, is that something that will be visible with the naked eye or will it require 20x magnification to be noticeable as shown?
The F will be eye-clean.
Hey Joe! thank you for the prompt response. The budget is only for the diamond, I actually have 3 I was looking at (the one that says not available is) but would love your opinion or any better suggestions you might have.

thanks again!
