Hello all, so quick story, I''ve dated my future FI'' to be approx. 3 years (known since the 5th grade, I''m 28 now). And I"m ready to take the plunge. I still have to ask to parental units, but knowing them for so long and I''m like family, so I think I''m good on that end (crossing fingers still). Now I went to a local jewelry spot (well known through cali), to find my loose diamond. I know my setting: Mark Schneider "Classic" / white gold http://www.markschneiderdesign.com/detail.asp?recid=23&ringname=Classic
Now to the dilemma, the diamond.... Like I said went to a diamond jewel round here and here''s the specs:
Cert: EGL/USA
Cut: Radiant
Weight: 1.55 ct
Shape and Cut Measurements: CUT COR. RECT. MOD. BRILL. 7.09 x 6.35 x 4.22 mm
Depth: 66.5
Table: 64.0
Crown: 9.0
Pavillion: 53.7
Girdle: Medium polished
Cutlet: None
Polish: Very Good
Symentry: Good
Clarity Grade: VS1
Color Grade: F
Flourescence: None
Price TAG: $12,500
How does this sound/look to you guys/girls (I tried to post pictures, but I''m running out of time at work, sorry)? In addition, should I ask to look @ the H&A''s? Can I ask?
It''s a beautiful diamond... One last question, would Mark Schnieder shop get annoyed if I bring another diamond from a different place to get set by his shop, or should I do this the other way around, buy the setting, take it to the place where I purchased the diamond and have them set it.
thanks all, as I said, your help is very much appreciated.
Jon
