I'm looking to get the best diamond I can for under $6,500...what is your opinion on the best diamond for that kind of money? It will be set in a white gold band, so I'm assuming I should get something in the colorless range. I do not want to be able to see any flaws to the naked eye, so it seems like I need a VS2--or is there such a thing as a "clean" SI1?

I recently found a diamond a bit out of my price range, at $7,691, ideal cut, GIA cert.

Carat 1.16
E color
VS2 clarity
60.9% depth
56% table
6.87-6.83-4.17
no flour
no culet

Thoughts on this diamond, and on how to perhaps find a diamond in my budget (where should I go a bit lower in to save costs--color, clarity or carat?
Thank you!

You should have no problem getting a nice stone under the $6500 range. I know that we have a 1.00 ct. VS2 G ideal cut under that price range.
