Hi Ladies and Gents
Complete newbie here! Also apologize in advance as I am Australian and spell "color" differently to you
Needing a little advice on my future ring. I never actually wanted to get married, then I met the most ridiculously amazing man who I have been with for 7 months now. He asked me quite early on what I would like in a ring and I have been obsessed ever since. At first I have been in love with Padparadscha sapphires (saph's my birth stone) and pinky/orange or coral is my fave colour.
I have found the most beautiful one well within our price range (originally wanted a larger carat but I have not seen a better stone) which I've attached. It's 1.33 ct eye clean, unheated and absolutely gorgeous to me, the online vendor while trustworthy seems to be pretty grumpy, as it's on sale and quite a large percentage off will not go to the trouble to photograph it for me on skintone, pretty much take it or leave it type. So I'm a little nervous in the final colour I would see, keep in mind I'm going rose gold and side stones would be big shiny baguettes with a halo, I am Caucasian who tans easily so I think it would compliment when it's all done.
I'm debating whether to go through with the pad or look at getting a Champagne Diamond, as I would love some colour in my ring, and I'm not sure I can be bothered explaining what a Padparadscha is and why I didn't "get a diamond" for the rest my life or have people think that we were skimping by going the sapphire route, because my partner earns a very comfortable wage and it might seem "cheap". Because I think I would be just as happy with a champagne diamond, although from what I've seen they are a few thousand above something similar to the pad.
So would love some input from all y'all on which way to go and recommendations on good vendors for light brown - champagne diamonds, I have found a few like Diamonds by Lauren but interested in seeing as many as I can!
Any help would be great as I'm beginning to get that feeling like when you smell too many perfumes and just get confused as to which one you even liked! I spend way too much time googling as it is haha!
Thanks so much
Laura
