My daughter's BF has asked for my help in finding a center stone for an engagement ring. We have the setting designed but are having troulbe finding a center stone in budget.

Specs Desired:

2 carat Natural Radiant Cut

Color: No yellow so D-G

Clarity: Eye Clean so FL - SI1 (hopefully)

Cut: Excellent (know GIA does not staet cut for radiant)

Cert: GIA

L/W Ratio: 1:35 - 1:40

Table: 61% - 70%

Depth: 61% - 70%

Fluroscence: Faint to None

What can we compromise on to get a stone in the $10-$12k range? Right now the cheapest I can find is approxmiately $15k. The most critical to her is the Color, Ratio (elongated is a must), and carat size.

Appreciate any advice. Thanks!

My daughter has asked for a trip for her 21st in August. It will be her and her boyfriend. Safety is first priority as it is their first trip alone. They like adventure and she of course wants a tropical feel with a place to tan. Looking for recommendations for all-inclusive in Playa del Carmen. Price point of no more than $300 per night. Thanks in advance for any help.
