Diamond for my solitaire necklace

dreamer Rough Rock Total Posts: 80 Last Post: 8/23/2006 Member Since: 5/8/2003	Hi all, I posted sometime back about Halo diamond necklace. BTW, my Simon G ring is still not here. It has been 4 weeks since I ordered it !! Anyways, for our 10th Anniversary, I have a budgest of 5k to buy whatever I tried some diamond studs and some solitaire necklaces. And I think the earrings won't show much at all, so I defer it to a later purchase I am now strongly thinking about necklace. Not decided Halo or just a solitaire. Need to try out some Halo settings. I bought my E-ring from GOG, and I would buy the diamond from them again, since I could physically see the stone !! I read in previous posts that, we could even go to J/SI. My e-ring is I/VS2, but since H&A it sparkles like crazy. I am also planing to set this in yellow gold. So,h aving this budget, considering that this is for a necklace, what quality of diamond should I look for? I am only going to buy H&A and it will be nice if I could get closer to 1 ct. Please let me know about your thoughts. dreamer

Here are two GOG stones I would consider: http://www.goodoldgold.com/diamond/2137/ http://www.goodoldgold.com/diamond/2131/ .90 H SI1 and .91 G SI2 H&A for ~$4500 each There are also these two which I like as well even though they aren't from GOG: http://www.whiteflash.com/hearts_arrows/a-cut-above-h-a-cut-diamond-2415703.htm 1.02 F SI2 H&A for $5650 http://www.whiteflash.com/hearts_arrows/a-cut-above-h-a-cut-diamond-2415703.htm 1.08 H SI2 H&A for $5450 I'd put any of those stones in a simple 4 or 3 prong platinum setting for about $300-400 and call it a day. Of course since I want the biggest stone possible I'd drop to SI2 and get as big a stone possible for the $5k (or maybe a little over? hehee). No I or J stones came up in my PS search unfortunately, but maybe new ones are coming in soon?
