Hi all
Been lurking around here, many other websites, reputable local stores and youtube doing tons of research the last few months for e-rings/diamonds. Been emailing back and forth with a few reputable online dealers as well (mostly of which have been suggested here). Having said that, I will show you what I have chosen and would like to know some opinions. As for the setting, i know exactly what she wants already so the design aspect for that has already been decided. As for the diamond, I intend on choosing a 1.21ct round stone VS2, I color and ideal cute (specifically whiteflash's A CUT ABOVE hearts and arrows) Would like to know some opinions on the diamond, more specifically on the color vs clarity aspect, should I compromise on the clarity and invest more on a color or vice versa? The setting has much smaller diamonds in the halo but are rated at F-G color as opposed to my intended center diamond which is color I. my own personal comparisons shows a very negligible difference almost unseen to the naked eye, however I'm interested in your opinions overall in my decisions. I'd like to keep the diamond under 10k usd. I'm pretty decided on the carat weight and cut already.
I will likely be working with Whiteflash and have been chatting and emailing with one of their employees (so far a good experience)
Verragio Insignia 7003 halo setting (will be purchased in platinum)
