Hello PS Community,
First time poster I'm so glad that there's a place to help out simple guys like me. I'm excited and ready to buy an engagement ring!
Background:My girlfriend is absolutely in love with the tacori setting 2620 with a cushion cut. After readings threads on which places have the best reputation for cushion cuts it seems like Victor Canera and GOG have the best cut. From what I've researched, out of the two, GOG can place a Tacori setting.

-I'm trying to decide whether I should get 18K WG or Platinum. My gf wants the least maintenance, so opt for the platinum?
GOG's AVC: After looking at a bunch of picture on PS of people who have an AVC, I'm pretty sold. I would appreciate your comments on a few diamonds that I've narrowed down to. To me they seem pretty similar, so please feel free to comment.
1) http://www.goodoldgold.com/ecommerce/1ct-f-vs2-august-vintage-cushion-diamond.html....... $8696 - I like the symmetry of the facets and overall the aset/diamxray seem good.
This is the only diamond I've requested a picture so far. I'll be requesting other diamonds later so I can compare.
2)http://www.goodoldgold.com/ecommerce/1-00ct-h-vs2-august-vintage-star-cushion-diamond.html $8023 - I was reading up on [URL='https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/august-vintage-star-diamonds.208509/']https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/august-vintage-star-diamonds.208509/[/URL] and people do like the star edition. I thought cushion cuts are supposed to be known for large facets, but I guess it's personal preference.
3) http://www.goodoldgold.com/ecommerce/1-02ct-g-vs2-august-vintage-cushion-diamond.html $9153 - Does 1.02 really make a difference?
http://www.goodoldgold.com/ecommerce/1-02ct-g-si1-august-vintage-cushion-diamond.html $8399 - another one with SI1 clarity.
Pricing: What are your thoughts on pricing? I tried to do comparable searches on PS and WF, but it's really hard to find comparable diamonds since AVC appear to be in its own unique categories. I've searched the 8-9k range cushion diamonds and I could get a significantly larger diamond. AVC worth the price?
Appreciate your thoughts and comments!
