Thank you to everyone who posts on here. I've been reading a lot lately as I narrow down my search. I've posted a few times and appreciate all responses.
I am now conflicted between size vs. quality. If my budget is $8,000 total (platinum solitaire setting), would you recommend the best 1 - 1.05 ct stone OR a 1.2 ct stone that fits my budget but might sacrifice cut/color/clarity.
I've been looking at 1.2 ct stones but am not sure if I can afford that size and also get a great cut stone (shopping a local jeweler in NYC). So, I've begun to wonder whether it would be useful to consider a smaller stone in a great cut that hopefully gives great "fire" and overall light performance that makes up for the drop in size. Ring size finger is 5.5 if this helps.
Thanks for any help!
