To introduce myself...I''m Kristin, and I live in Seoul, South Korea for the time being as an English teacher. I''m in the market for an engagement ring on the Internet--don''t have to worry about international shipping fees b/c I''m gonna have it delivered to my home in Ohio.
I''ve been looking at rings for the last couple months. I''ve finally decided on a setting and shape...round brilliant with SuperbCert''s Tiffany setting. I''m getting a little down about selecting the stone though! Considering that the setting is 1K, I''ve got around 2500 for the diamond. There were two great superideal G/SI2 .7cts right around that price on SupertCert that I wanted to select from, but when I called, both had been sold. I''m not too down about that, just that it seems there are no other options with the specs I''m looking for that would allow me to get at least .7cts.
My primary concern is cut, without a doubt. I am looking for under 2 on the HCA. For the other C''s, I prefer G, eyeclean SI2, and with those specs and a superideal cut, I could afford around .7cts. BUT there aren''t any stones w/ those specs around anymore!
I''m open to any advice...Should I blow my budget and get an F stone, .75cts, for about 3000 (SuperbCert)? Am I being way too specific? Should I ask Barry if he will set a stone from another vendor? Should I wait to buy? Should I go down in size? Thanks in advance for the support and help!
