I am looking for an oval diamond with a budget of $6000 (for the diamond alone, not in a setting). I would prefer for the diamond to be at least 1.50 carats.
I want a good clarity and color, but I do not know what the best choices would be so that I could still get a decent carat weight and stay in budget. Would G or H be too low? Should I stay away from SI2 and SI1 or would they look good?
I have been doing lots of research on table and depth, girdle, fluorescence, length to width ration, etc. I want a good quality diamond. So, based on this information I think I want a depth between 62-68%, a table between 50-62%, a girdle medium to slightly thick, none to medium fluorescence, and a length to width ration between 1.3 to 1 and 1.7 to 1.
To you experts out there do these numbers seem right?
I would prefer to purchase it online because I have noticed that in store (i.e. Bailey''s, Jared''s, Fink''s) tend to be slightly more expensive, and I am working with a fixed budget. So, is there one site you would prefer to another? Is Blue Nile a well trusted site with fair prices? That is wear I have been looking mostly.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
