I copied this posting over into this forum to get more responses... thanks for that suggestion!

Ok, so in starting over, I need to:

1) find a diamond. I want at least .75 ct, round (H & A would be nice but is it a necessity?), GIA cert, H or a REALLY white I in color (G would be great, but I think that''s asking too much), at least SI1 in clarity (just want eye clean, don''t care so much about anything I can''t see when looking at it on my hand.)


2) find a setting. I like a couple of Whiteflash''s -- Fine Line and Legato. They''re both so similar. Fine Line is a little simpler, which I like, but I could be talked into the Legato. :)


3) decide how to have the diamond and setting put together. Whiteflash''s stones seem a little higher priced, but maybe not?? If I got both from them, that would sure make things easy.


4) find a wedding band. I love SP eternity bands. Not sure if I should go that route or not. The one I like is $1844 or so with F-G, VVS-VS. I would be fine having it made with G-H, VS. I''m sure Isaac could accomodate that. Wonder what that would do to the price? I''m guessing it would reduce it by a couple hundred maybe? I think it''s best to wait until I have the finished ering before I decide on the wband.


So, if I spend all day researching this at work, I''ll probably lose my job. :) I need your VERY valuable advice on the stone. I''m open to buying it from any vendor here, but like I said, WF would be convenient.


If you see stones that meet these specs, please send the links my way! That is the first thing I need to decide on for sure. Thanks again to all of you!

Total budget is $4775 or a little (and I mean a little!) more.

is that including the eternity from SP? or just the stone and setting?

That''s for everything. But I''m not dead set on a full eternity. I could save money by doing a 3/4 eternity.

I just realized that Amazon.com is on the vendor list. I have a $250 credit with Amazon.com so if I bought the stone from them, I could get a little more expensive stone. Has anyone bought from them? I''m talking about GIA cert stones only.
