Hi, I have been reading up on diamonds the last few months and would appreciate any advice I can get on a particular diamond I am looking at.
here is the setting I am looking at: (Gabriel & Co 18k white gold cushion halo with H diamonds)
https://www.gabrielny.com/engagement-ring/ER8152W84JJ
Diamond I am looking at is around $4000. My budget is $6000, if I could spend 5 that would be better.
Diamond info:
1.06ct, J color, SI1, GIA3ex with medium flourescence. HCA is a 1.7 (ex,ex,ex,vg)
No ASET or ideal scope images available to me.
I have read that it is recommended to match the diamond with the halo color, but that pushes the stones out of my price range. A couple very nice local jewelers have said it wont be a problem to put a J in this setting so I am not sure on that one now. I was trying to go for GIA3ex, eye clean, roughly 1ct, with dimensions of table 54-58, depth <62, and angles of around 34 and 40.5.
My questions are, is this a good stone for the setting I am looking at and is it priced well? Am I focusing too heavily on certain aspects of the diamond for a 1 carat stone? My thought is that I dont want to pay for something she wont be able to notice, so I didnt want to go above h/g color or VS1 clarity. Thank you all in advance!
