Hi guys
Not been around here for a while. But I am thinking about buying myself a signet ring (I am a fella).
I want a round stone no bigger than about 0.6-0.8ct and cut is more important than colour.
In fact I am thinking of going for something between H and maybe L because I find white stones look a bit "bling" whereas there is a warmth to darker stones. But if I recall correctly a bit of fluorescence is a good idea in less white stones is that correct?
I am also thinking of going for a Si1 stone if I can find one where the inclusion(s) are hidden by the setting.
I know a lot of you guys are in the US, but I am in the UK and it seems to me that the market here is less competitive with fewer quality players. Or perhaps I just haven't found the right people yet.
Any advice would be appreciated, including some idea of cost (USD is fine).
I am also interested in seeing snaps of any interesting gents solitaire rings if anyone has something. I need ideas. I quite like the idea of a prong type setting.
Thanks in advance for your advice All.
