Hi everyone, this is my initial post on the site. I am a soon to be college graduate and am in the market for an engagement ring. I'm very glad that I stumbled across pricescope as a quality source of information about diamonds bc previously I knew nothing about them. I have read through many of the pages on the site and have come up with a good idea of what to get but it never hurts to get a little more insight.
I am shopping for my girlfriend of 3 years now, and through some pinterest snooping and subtle hints I think I have figured out the style/type of ring that she will love. She likes rings with a vintage style and rings with halo settings, and she has a preference for jewelry that has its own artistic appeal or character over something that's just big and flashy. I have attached some examples of rings that are on her page that she likes.
I know it may be hard to tell from the single picture but my main question with these is what size range center stones would look good in these settings?
I am asking this bc I am planning on purchasing the stone separately from one of the listed online sellers (bc of their massive selection) and then taking it to a family friend who runs a jewelry store to pick out a setting. My total budget is somewhere around $2500 and for the stone I really want to get something with a high quality cut, SI2 or higher clarity, and J or better color.
Thanks for the help
