I''m shockingly new to this whole diamond thing... but getting engaged and turning 50 in the same year (yikes).
Just from lurking and reading it seems that a 1 ct stone will about max out the budget - not that there''s anything wrongwith a 1 ct diamond! I love emerald an Asscher cuts, but I''m wondering if other cuts are overall less expensive AND if slipping into a K color is less conspicuous with other cuts. I think I remember hearing somewhere that emeralds and Asschers were not as forgiving. I don''t even see any K color emeralds or Asschers at Whiteflash.
I hate to sound greedy - but I really like some bling for the buck, without being too tacky. No one *I* know is going to whip out a loupe and examine my ring.
Does a stone of this quality make you wince (in a bad way)?
