Hi all,
I'm a newcomer here although I've been lurking and reading threads on and off for a while now. I have finally done the easy part of finding a woman I want to marry, but on to the hard stuff... picking out a center stone. We've visited a few local shops so I can get an idea of what she wants and see how well her expectations mesh with my budget. I've picked out a ring (Pave .50 ct. t.w., solitary center stone, white gold, matching wedding band, six prong) from a local store (Shane Co.). The store has a great reputation in my area and ideally I'd like to buy the center stone from them too, but their selection is lacking. I'm in need of some advice/suggestions for a center stone. I'll post some links shortly of stones I have been looking at.
Budget: $10.5K for center stone
Color: H or better
Clarity: Eye clean (I assume this is VS2 or better) I have trouble looking at the photos in certs and determining what I will actually be able to notice.
Shape: Round
Size: 1.25-1.5, bigger is better
Obviously I want to get the best diamond for my budget (just like everyone else). I would like to get a diamond that is cut well and sparkles as it should. I have been looking on rarecaret and whiteflash the most, but am open to suggestions.
I look forward to feedback and suggestions and hopefully I can become an educated consumer. Thanks!
Edit:
Some stones I have been looking at.
