Hello all,
Lurker finally coming from the shadows to inquire among the community.
So I believe it's coming up on time to propose.
Graduate school has me on a limited and fairly tight budget (5-6k) and my gf would like a solitare asscher. After searching online, I came across the Octavia and am really amazed by its brilliance. I would ideally like the biggest possible stone but am aiming for around 1c. I'm really looking for a well performing and well cut diamond and will sacrifice size for something that sings.
I was just wondering if I'm totally out of the loop looking for an Octavia in this budget range. And for anyone with work experience with this cut, if you could pass along any guidance on concessions I could make to get the best possible diamond. Almost kismit, I'll be up in Long Island in July and plan to swing by GoG to take a look at the stones myself. Wish me luck and thanks for all your help!!!!! I'm sure it's been said before, but the invaluabilty of this site is immeasurable!
