That''s quite a choice. I guess the plus with the pink is she could probably wear it out more often since only you 2 and close friends will know what it really is/worth (most average people would assume it to be colored gem). With a 12ct rock it''s kind of hard not to notice. Maybe look at it in that perspective and see if that alters your thought process.

Can you post the specs for the pink? I'd say a 1.04ct certified fancy intense pink may be more valuable than the 12ct radiant. It depends on the pink, though, and the actual specs of the radiant. What is it's clarity? I know color is more important for a pink, but if it's got good clarity as well, the value shoots up. Fancy intense and vivid pinks of good size and quality are rare. If you like pink--go pink! Recently, a 1.04 Fancy Int. Purplish Pink of VS2 clarity went for 74,778.00, but that was a purplish pink which is different from a fancy intense pink. Where's Garry? He can tell you about pinks!

GIA is a lab. The appraiser may be a GIA graduate gemologist, but you would need to see the actual lab report, so you can ascertain its graded clarity, color, etc. There are big price jumps between D and E. You need to know if it's a D, E, or F, and if it's VVs1 or VVs2. D-F and VVs is not enough information to assess value. Hope this helps! Good luck! |

Sorry to say this, but I wouldn''t chose either of those. Pink is one of my favorite colors, but it seems too "cute" for an eng. ring. . .and I cannot even imagine how much you''d be spending to make such a small impact if it is comparable in price to a 12 ct. stone! The other diamond WILL make that impact, however it is flat out too big. A diamond that size is going to be uncomfortable and awkward!
If you have an incredible budget, why not get a great 5 ct ring, a pair of stud earrings, AND a pendant and propose with all those together???

I absolutely second MC in everything they have said. Pink not my taste for an ering, and 12ct waaay too impractical. I would also be interested to know where these are being sold from ? |

Pink is a very feminine girl-ey color. And wearing a 12 carat diamond, unless she has size 12 man fingers, will be way too big. And where could she wear it without a bodyguard to keep her hand from being chopped off? And of course, many people seeing that size in colorless VVS clarity would automatically assume it was a fake. I wouldn''t choose either of those. Why not go with something more understated and refined, and use the rest of your budget (if you feel the need to spend it all) on other jewelry, a vacation, your home, etc.
