Good morning everyone! Was directed to this forum numerous times from others as the place to be to get any and all diamond engagement ring questions answered, so here I am. I've started my ring search, and have a basic idea of what I want:
Carat: 1.0 (I don't really want to get much higher than this)
Cut: Ideal
Clarity: VS1 / VS2
Colour: F
Shape: Round
Setting: Basic 4 prong setting
I've taken a look online and am quite frankly overwhelmed by all the numbers and charts I see when looking at individual diamonds. What are the key numbers (aside from price) that I should definitely be taking a good, strong look at ? My girlfriend is very simple, and to match that part of her personality I'd like to get a simple ring.
I've read up on people buying the diamond individually and then getting the setting done elsewhere, etc. Frankly, I am in a bit of a time crunch and the most important thing to me is finding a great diamond at a reasonable price in a somewhat quick amount of time.
Any help is appreciated, and I'm happy to answer questions!
