Q&A: Looking for Round Cut for $9-9.5K Budget

Greetings! first, thank you so much for this valuable website. it’s been tremendously helpful in the search. my kind (and hot) husband is upgrading my e ring after 11 years of marriage, however, this time around, the burden is entirely on me to find a stone that i’ll be happy with (for the rest of my life). initially, i looked at princess and radiant cuts, but i was quite surprised at how much bigger a round cut looked in the same wt as the other two cuts. so, i’m looking for the largest round on a budget of 9-9.5k for the stone. ive been looking at H/I SI1-2 stones in ideal cut. im having a hard time figuring which ones would be eye clean. i’d really appreciate your opinion on these.

Thanks for responding, however, I already made a purchase from James Allen.  The stone will go on a pave band with white gold. I ended up purchasing a stone that i did not post on the original email. Here it is linked.

Anyway, thinking about it, I would still like your insight and if you think I’ve made a horrible decision, please let me know and I can continue the search (with your help).

I received the stone and at first i really liked it, but after photographing it with flash and looking at it under bright spot light, it doesn’t glow and it seems darker than my previous 0.5 carat stone(because it’s shallow as you said?). under normal lighting, it looks really nice though. i havent completely made up my mind, so could you pick out a few more for me? the one you sent was already unavailable when i clicked on the link.
