I need help finding a pear shaped diamond on James Allen.
This is what I found today. Thank you for your help.

Unfortunately, the diamond you found has medium fluorescence. It might make it hazy/milky in daylight. https://www.diamonds.pro/education/fluorescence/
I would skip it and go with something like this instead:

This diamond is beautiful and has no red flags in the certificate.
I like the diamond that you selected. Thank you for your help. I did not realize that James Allen were having a sale. At that price point I could go up in carat to 0.9 or .95 with a 1.65 – 1.75 ratio.
May I ask what is your maximum budget for the diamond?
This is the first recommendable 0.9ct option I found that has a L:W ratio in the 1.60 range:

My max budget for the diamond is between $2,500-$2,800. I see that you mostly recommend VS1. Should I not touch anything lower than that?
The VS1 clarity grade was just a coincidence. I always search in the SI+ range, but the problem is that most SI diamonds are not eye-clean. I also need to skip the ones with strong bow-tie. So sometimes I end up recommending a VS or VVS diamond simply because there was nothing lower that would look good.
I understand. could you find another diamond that price in the middle of the other two you sent?
I found this one that looked great:

It has fantastic overall specs.
Great, thank you!
