Hello everyone, I am so confused at this point. We have a ring on hold until Saturday and I don''t know what to do. It is a 3-stone princess cut with trillions. Center stone is:
1.57 VS1 "I"
6.51x6.28x4.67mm
Depth: 74.4
Table 71%
Girdle Thin-slightly thick
polish: vg
symmetry: vg
culet: none
flour: none
the trillions are .29 each, vvs2 "I". So the entire ring is 2.15ctw. I''m a size 4. I''m going after the "wow" factor. I''d be thrilled with a 2ct, but that is not within our budget. So now I''m contemplating a 1.5 ''ish - 1.6''sh solitaire. I know that this center shows up a lot bigger, but would it give me that "size" factor that I''m looking for. I can honestly admit, shamefully, that I am a "size" girl. My BF doesn''t believe in "upgrading" and basically says that this is a one time shot. (he feels it''s rude and inconsiderate to upgrade, that''s his opinion) which I can respect. So this is why I''m torn. I''m becoming a little, no a lot obsessed with ps and whiteflash. I have spent HOURS UPON HOURS, doing my homework..If he knew this, he would think I was crazy!!! Our budget is 11k. The princess above is 9500.00 plus tax., so for the $$$ we think it is a pretty good deal. (I used the gemappraisers old tool grade and it measured at a 1A grade.) Know I''m worrying about "shrinkage" and "color". Like I said, I only get one shot at this, and I want to make the absolute right decision. I keep going back and forth on this. This ring does go from one side of my finger to the other but the center spreads only 6.51x6.28. By doing research, a 1.5 spreads about 7.40x7.43!! To everyone who can help me out. What is your honest opinion? I feel so bad that I''m being so "foo,foo", but it is a lot of money, and I want to be happy with my "bling,bling". All of your comments, would be so appreciated.
