I have recently begun my search for a diamond and have visited various local retailers. I also just came across this site today; very informative. Here''s the issue. I am interested in a pear between 3.5 and 4.5 carats, E-G in color and I think I am willing to go up to SI1/2 to ease the price. First, I''m wondering in the first instance whether it''s wise to make such a large purchase online. I don''t mean to sound snooty at all, but many of the purchases I have seen browing here today are for somewhat smaller stones. Second, how do I really know what I''m getting in terms of how briliant the diamond is and how it will really look.
Any help would be most appreciated!
