Hello Everyone -
New to this forum and in the process of buying an engagement ring. I just purchased the book "How to Buy a Diamond" - and the author mentioned that it makes a lot of sense to go for a .9 rather than a 1 carat in terms of price. I guess my question is whether or not this difference makes a noticeable difference in terms of size? Can an untrained person tell the difference? Also, in addition to searching the web, I visited a local jeweler that my family has used for many years and gave him some rough specs (1 carat, G color, "well" (his term) cut, SI1 or better), he is going to call his cutter and get back to me - does this sound normal?
Thanks in advance for all of your insight - dan
