Wow, what a place this is! I have been a lurker for more than 2 years and have finally decided to take the plunge and accept the invaluable resources you folks have to offer. A very upfront thank you!
I am 36 years old, been married to my wife (who I met in 5th grade) for 12 years. When I custom made her engagement ring in 2003 I used online resources to help me find the best diamond deals within my budget. At that time it was $3,000. That's what a $10 an hour job will get you. Now that we are better off I am looking to get her a new ring that is larger and more pleasant to the eye.
So lets get to it:
This is the setting we are looking at in 18k white gold:

This sets me back $4k and my budget is right at $15k total. I am looking for a diamond that will look spectacular in this setting, was hoping for something that looks 1.5ct; it doesn't actually have to be 1.5ct.
I will answer all questions as quickly as I can...and again, thank you.
