Hi everyone!
I'm new here and right now my SO and I are starting our ring search. We recently went to a local jeweler and found what we think is a nice ring, but we wanted to double check with you guys and see what you guys think. I also found a few RBs online that might be a contender for us. The diamond that we decide upon will go on a Tacori ring 2520 (I think that's the style number), so it's a halo setting.
So far it's between these 3 diamonds, and if you guys know of any other ones that are nice then please point me to the right direction
Our price range is under $12k for the stone, I would like for it to be around $10k preferably (which is the price of the stone at the jeweler, the 1.22 carat one).
1. 1.22 carat VS2 E ideal cut (hearts and arrow too i think) - attached

I do have another question regarding color too. Originally I wanted only a D-E color diamond but after reading some of you guys thoughts then it seems like most would prefer to go down on color and up on carat size. I would definitely like something bigger than one carat, 1.2-1.3 seems to be the ideal number in our price range. I haven't looked into G-H diamonds, so I'm not sure about pricing. I don't think I am color sensitive, my SO and I looked at a loose diamond that's a D and a F, and my SO could def tell the color difference but I couldn't at all. So I guess my question is, is it really worth it to go down on color and up onveryth carat size?
Thanks in advance everyone, you guys have no idea how glad I found out about the forum because I feel so overwhelmed with all of the information and since this is a pretty big purchase, I want to be absolutely sure about it.
