After buying her a 2.18 AGS000 engagement ring, I am now in the market for a wedding present and the girl has her heart set on 3ctw studs. Telling her that 3ctw are too big is not a discussion that I am going to win, so please don''t respons that I should go with a 2.5ctw H&A cut
I want to get her nice sparkly earings that are not yellow or obviously included. Is it true that a shallower cut is better for earings? I am thinking of setting my search criteria to the following. Do these look good?
CUT: AGS 0-1 overall gut grade or GIA with a excellent to very good cut
DEPTH: At or below 60%. (How shallow is too shallow? Should I be looking for 59%-60% depth stones?)
TABLE DIAMETER: ???
COLOR: H or I, possibly J but I am nervous on going J on stones this large.
CLARITY: SI1-SI2
DESIGN: 3 prong martini (I read that "La pousette double-spring tension backs offer greater security and comfort wear than screw-backs" Is that true?)
SIZE: 1.4 - 1.55 ct each
As I am not an expert, I have omitted EGL from my search as I don''t "trust" their ratings.
Alternate idea is the attached earings, but I think I am going with the studs.
Thanks for all the help with solidifying my criteria!!
