Hello everyone, ive been glancing at the forums for some time now in search of the perfect ring for my soon to be fiancée. I am dead set on the Tiffany Solitaire replica as it is simple, elegant, and beautiful just as she is. Either the Vatche U113 or the one from Excel/superbcert is what I am stuck between. I know people have had great experiences with both but I still have a few questions for those with experience, or those that have seen both in person! Thank you all in advance!
Questions are as follows:
1. Which most closely resembles the Tiffany? I like the smoothness of the original Tiffany band and would prefer one without sharp edges, as I have seen on many reps with the "knife edge". Although the original tiffany does have this "knife edge" cut, it is not sharp by any means.
2. Is 4k feasible for the ring with a decent stone? I am most concerned with clarity and cut over size, I dont need a full carat, but would like something that doesnt appear miniscule either (i know i know, im asking a bit much).
Our story?
We met in Malibu back in 2010 while she was here studying abroad, she is swiss/german. We lived together for a year in California before her going back to Switzerland to finish her graduate work as she was accepted into her "dream" program so to speak. We have been doing long distance, back and forth ever since... I recently took a higher paying job in Nashville (i was in San Diego), just to save money for the move as we have both decided that we would like to call Europe home as this is where her family is, and she has quite a great job lined up there. Ill be moving there at the end of April with a good chunck of change to live off of while I look for jobs in my industry (Information Technology), and would like to purchase the ring before I go, hence the small spending limit!
I know she would much rather me save the extra money to put toward our future together and my new start in Switzerland, than spend a great deal on a diamond that will look unproportionate (she is a 5 1/2).

The Vatche would be my personal preference...
