Hello. I have spent the last few weeks learning the ins and outs of engagement rings. I have reached a point where I've narrowed down my setting options but could use your help in narrowing down my diamond options, which seem to be endless. This much I know, I would like the diamond to have the following characteristics:
Shape: Oval
Carat: 2.75-3 (ideally closer to 3 ct)
Cut: Excellent/Ideal (prioritizing this area the most)
Color: D-G (ideally an F/G as the setting, including prongs, will be yellow gold)
Clarity: VS1 and above
L/W Ratio: 1.4-1.5
Grading Agency: IGI is fine
Price: Ideally under $1,250 but I am flexible
I've been looking at Loose Grown Diamonds, but there are so many options even with these specifications that I haven't the slightest clue how to further reduce the pool / pick the best diamond. Would greatly appreciate if you could point me in the right direction, whether that be through additional specs to use in my search (e.g., depth %), sending potential LGD options, or a mix of both. Thank you!
