I have decided to propose and am having trouble figuring out the best diamond to pick out. I have found the setting I like on blue diamond. My budget is 10-15k. The setting I have chosen (blue nile.com) can carry up to a 1.1 carat diamond.
What do I want? I great quality ring, that looks 'big', shiny...and has that wow effect.
Setting: http://www.bluenile.com/diamond-engagement-ring-platinum_17373
Qualities of Diamond:
Cut: Blue Nile Signature Ideal
Color: D-F
Clarity: VVS 2- VS 1
Carat: 1.0-1.1
I have read extensively about diamonds. It is very difficult to get an idea of 'whats good' because I have little experience in judging diamonds. In terms of advance features- I would like no fluorescence, a high table % >56% because of the setting. Can someone please give me some insight. I am not sure if I am looking at this right-- in terms of pure looks does VVS2 vs VS1 matter? Any suggestions on diamonds?
I am a medical resident , come from a humble family (using money I sold from selling my car)- and just want to make the decision possible. Maybe will pass this ring on for generations as a family ring- so I want to make the best choice. Thank you for your time and help in advance.
