After eight or nine months of searching and education from Pricescope and its vendors, I have finally made my decision with a 1.01 carat G VS2 princess cut from good old gold and the Vaila setting from MaeVona. A massive thanks to all of you who have taken the time to answer all of my dumb newbie questions with patience and understanding. You all have made the search a fun experience and I have no doubt made a waaaaaay more informed purchase thanks to Pricescope. Thank you all!
