Hey all,
I posted here a couple months back but wanted to post again as I haven't pulled the trigger yet, but want to in the next few days.
I received a lot of great suggestions/help but I had originally said I was looking for a 1.5 carat, now thinking maybe a slightly larger carat size, something from 1.7 - 2. Probably closer to the 1.7. So I wanted to come back for some more recommendations.
Here is my updated breakdown of what I am searching for:
Princess Cut
Carat: 1.5 - 2. (Thinking around 1.7)
Color: Most important to my girlfriend, so I was thinking D-F
Willing to splurge a bit on the cut, color, clarity since I feel like the carat size is pretty reasonable.
Budget: Lab diamonds seem decently affordable so looking for the best quality rather than staying within a set budget.
I've been looking at the following 2:
www.whiteflash.com
Which is 1.5 but was recommended by DejaWiz and I do still really like the look of.
and
frankdarling.com
Mainly because the size and I like the look of the hidden halo setting from Frank Darling so it seemed easier to get both the diamond and setting from them.
I'd be all ears to any thoughts on Frank Darling in general, any opinions in general, or any additional diamonds anyone thinks are worth a look.
Appreciate all the help already.
