Advice on 3 carat stone

[headlight]

That's funny!!!

I think if it is not a financial burden, then it is worth the extra 4k to hit the 3ct mark, if not for visual/"objective" reasons, then certainly for psychological ones!

And BTW, K is a lovely color and still faces very white in most circumstances. Only a very educated diamond enthusiast would be able to detect the tint (based on my experience with me own K/L colored diamonds). I don't think the tint is a bad thing anyway, but there is a marketing "stigma" that some need to overcome.

Off-topic for a sec here but I just have to say personally, I kinda hate the whole "surprise" tradition when it comes to wedding sets. Or other expensive jewelry. I would hate to wear something every day that was really nice and really expensive but not what I really wanted. JMHO, of course. I know other women do like a surprise.

When people ask me "what is the size?" I say 8.55mm and they really get confused.

LOL. Good one DF!
I think beauty should far outweigh bragging rights. Just ask @headlight who made the right choice!
