Thank you firstly for taking time to respond to my inquiry.
I am interested in purchasing a ring that has a radiant cut center stone with two trilliants on the sides. What would be the the best balance of all the Cs for something that is about 2cts? I am thinking of looking at F, VS1 however unsure. Any help is much appreciated.
I would adjust your color/clarity parameters:

Also, what is your ballpark budget?
Thank you for your reply back. I think we are looking at around $11-15,000. This is for an engagement ring, so we are just trying to do our research while we start looking to see what is the right size for my hands as well as color/clarity and all the other requirements. Thank you.
I would recommend a nice GH VS2/SI1 (eye-clean from a site that offers high quality photos). Do you prefer the square ones or the slightly rectangular ones?
Something like this: https://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/radiant-cut/1.81-carat-g-color-vs2-clarity-sku-244092?a_aid=dmnd1357 ?
I prefer square shape over rectangular. I would like to set it with two trillions side stones, similar to this: http://www.kwiat.com/catalog/RC_1000/17602r_table.jpg.
Thank you for all your help and feedback!
Can you stretch your budget a bit? This is a better choice (given your preferences):
Otherwise, the diamond you found is great.
Let’s see if the boyfriend can stretch his budget! haha. Can you just explain the difference between this diamond and the other one? It appears that the VVS1 clarity outweighs the color here?
Additionally, would the trillion side stones need to be the same quality?
No, the clarity does not matter more than the color. Its all about the bigger size and the more squarish shape (that you noted a preference for).
