So I want to propose to my beautiful girlfriend. I have a friend in the business and he hooked me up with two rings and I need to make a choice. The first ring is 1.14 CT, SI1 clarity, H color and Ideal cut: $5000. The second ring is 1.30 CT. SI2, J color and Ideal cut: $3700. The extra $1300 won't kill me but it's still $1300. Both are gorgeous stones but the 1.14 has "it." The J color is also a minor concern, after seeing the H next to it the yellow seems to stand out. So here is the question: am I better off saving the dough and taking my honey to Mexico (we're gonna go anyway), or should I take advantage of the nice pricing and sack up and go for the better stone. You make the call.

Thank you.
