Hi there, I am in the market for an engagement ring, my gf likes radiants and I am looking to spend $15k - $20k. I searched the threads here and see that radiants are kind of a controversial cut, but that's what she likes, preferably the square vs. rectangular.
I am hoping the experts here can help me out. I haven't been thrilled with the ones I've seen in stores here in San Francisco (or the prices) and from the old threads on radiants it seems dangerous to buy a radiant online.
I have been looking online anyway, so far I have found two at Blue Nile:
2.0 carat, very good cut, VS1, F, thick girdle, 7.17x6.66x4.8, 72.1% depth, 70% table, 11.3% crown height
1.51 carat, very good cut, VS1, F, very thin to slightly thick girdle, 6.58x6.47x4.33, 72% table, 66.9% depth, 12% crown
diy appraisal at gemappraisers.com didn't seem to like these much, giving the 2.0 a 2B and the 1.51 a 3A. Should I rule these out based on this?
I want to get the best radiant I can possibly find between 1.5 and 2.0 carats - any advice? Thank you so much in advance!!!
