I''m coming back to this site a month after reading its tutorial and starting my search. I''ve mostly been reading the internet and searching the jewlers/wholesalers in my hometown. I feel like a know a little but not too much. I''ve narrowed it down to two. I''m looking at princess stones. I want to optimize cut and color. Clarity just clean from the top and reasonable from the sides when up in prongs (i usually like SI1''s and i''ve liked some SI2''s). However, I''ve been able to extract that my girlfriend is more impressed w/ carat than the other C''s. So I want to find a happy compromise and the best fit. I''ld like to keep total cost in the 8000''s. With mounting in simple platinum tiffany, these are within 200$ of eachother. I''m a total novice. Any advice? One better than the other? Problems w/ both?
