Hi Everyone,
This is my first post and my first foray into the wonderful world of engagement rings / diamonds. I'm looking to ask the question in January when we are planning a holiday.
I've done some reading on the 4 C's and such and have established that most important to me will be cut.
In terms of ring, I'm looking at the following which are the best examples I've seen so far, however will continue looking for other options.

So I am looking for a diamond to match this style of ring. My budget is around $5,000 give or take for ring and diamond. I'm based in Australia so options are a little more limited, however I've been looking at Blue Nile, Whiteflash and James Allen. I don't know of any others at this stage, but if anyone recommends any particular companies that ship to Australia that would be fantastic. I'd like something between 0.80 and up to 1c. In terms of colour and clarity, I'm not so sure, as obviously I'm aware that my budget is fairly limited. What would people recommend? I'd appreciate any assistance at all as this is all very new to me!
Thank you
Mike
