Single Guy wanting to get married - Need diamond help!

[cliqhere]

I need help!!!

So my future fiancee has hinted me that she would love this setting as her e-ring in 18k WG. Do you know if I can get this ring custom made by one of PS preferred vendors?
Mark Schneider Enchantment Ring

Now I need your help in finding the best diamond for this ring. My budget is 5-7k (diamond alone) H&A Round or recommend me a different cut that you think it will look nice.

I am willing to go even lower color grade and clarity if the carat is slightly bigger.

Help me find the perfect diamond! Thank you and Happy Labor Day!

Prefer the JA E SI1 and the WF stone. The other JA stones looks to have defective hearts. Ask from the respective vendor if the stone is eye-clean.

The setting price is insane IMO. Sure you can have something very similar on working with a good bencher.

I was originally interested in getting the Mark Schneider "Vision" design done and contacted Brian Gavin Diamonds for a quote. They can't make the "exact" piece but can you use it as an inspiration. Their quote was significantly less than the Mark Schneider cost and based on other PSers experience, they make some excellent pieces

Thank you for your help, I am going to contact Brian to see if he can make something similar to that. I went to Jared's the other day and they quoted me around 2500 to make a replica setting but I honestly don't trust them.
I've recently showed my future fiancee the Solasfera cuts and she absolutely loves them. I will be paying more premium for the Solasfera cut but I've seen the BGD H&A and man they are beautiful(and they don't cost as much). GOG doesn't have a wide selection of Solasfera diamonds but hopefully I can get the setting customized and use that money to buy it.

You can ask GOG to source more solasfera for for the specs you want.
