So the big day is coming up in a few months and I am getting more and more excited. I have my proposal planned out. I have been saving over the past year (grad student) and have reached my goal for saving for a ring. My budget for the diamond is $3200. From getting her tastes, she has said that bigger is better when it comes to a diamond, meaning of the 4 C's carat is most important to her. She wants a classic yellow gold setting. I am going to go for a solitaire round. And we both want to get a Canadian diamond (for several reasons, not just ethical). So here are the diamonds that I am currently looking at:
.91 carat
Good cut
J color
SI1 clarity
$2635
.90 carat
Good cut
J color
VS2 clarity
$2729
.90 carat
Very Good cut
J color
VS1 clarity
$2945
.90 Carat
Ideal cut
J color
SI2 clarity
$3066
Any comments on the pros and cons of each. Should I wait until something else comes along? Should I be looking at some different diamonds entirely?
