Hi everyone,
I’m currently shopping for a diamond engagement ring for my girlfriend and looking to get engaged in March, and I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed with all the details, so I’m hoping for some advice from this wonderful community!

  • When casually looking at rings she’s mentioned liking both Oval, Round and Pear shapes, for size, I have been looking anywhere between in the 2.5 to 3.5 -carat range and thinking of getting a lab. My budget for the diamond is around $6,000, and I’m looking for help on inspiration on how you set yours as well as things I might be missing?

    Color: G - D
    Clarity: VS2 - IF
    Cut: Excellent/Ideal (??)

  • Are there specific proportions or measurements I should focus on for Oval, Pear and Round diamonds to ensure they look their best?
  • Any tips or considerations I should keep in mind for settings? I have liked Hidden Halo and 3 Stone but I still really feel out of my depths
I’d be so grateful for any insights and recommendations you can share. Thank you so much in advance!
