Brief
Type: Lab Created
Cut: Round Brilliant
Carat: from 1.55 ct to 1.95 ct
Color Range: Colorless (D-E-F)
Clarity: VS1-VS2
Message: Hi, Thanks for your help with this. Desired specs: Minimum 1.5 ct but hoping for a little bigger like 1.6-1.8 range. Ideal cut if IGI/excellent if GIA or elsewhere that's the highest cut grade. Doesn't have to be hearts and arrows, just looking for a high quality cut with good sparkle. Cut is most important. And excellent symmetry and polish. Color G or better, Clarity VS2 or better - want it to be eye clean and appear colorless in most light, and not have inclusions that affect the stone's light performance/appearance. Ideal budget is 4500 for the stone but there's a little wiggle room if something seems too good to turn down.

I assess diamonds for a number of factors including:
