Please help with my first time ring purchase for my girlfriend. I''ve been looking for a heart''s and arrows 1 carat stone in the $5000-$7000 range. The first 2 are the best I found in the $5,000 price range, cut advisor scores of 1.3 and 1.4. The second two are both 1.3''s and in the $7000 range. What I''m not sure of is if it is worth the price for a VS2 over an SI1 or if I should be more concerned getting the best color I can. Please help.

I like stones #1, 2 & 3. #4 looks a little on the expensive side compared to the three others. My personal favorite is the FVS2, but they all have great numbers. The .90 is a rare bird from what I hear, and can save you money. The I SI1 will also save you money, but I prefer a whiter stone.

Do you have pix yet?

Good luck

That ring looks amazing, why is it so cheap?

Because it's "only" 0.967ct.
But the diamond is slightly shallow, so it has a good spread (almost 1ct).
And a nice HCA score too...

The more I look at it I think I like this stone more
This is a link to domain

I think that it is a better diamond for the money. Does anyone agree or disagree?
This is the largest amount of money I have ever spent on something like this and I want to make sure I make a good decision.
