Halo yes, cluster ring no. I warmly recommend getting a halo and that look will go well even with her friends
I also do not recommend proposing with a ring holder outdoors.

Thank you for your opinion but I have to disagree. I dont like to get her different ring because just in Finland its not go with the concept and I think you know we are always behind what comes to changes. And people should change attitude here to more show type of thing.

I think a halo is beautiful and you should get her what she likes. Even a cluster ring, if that is what she wants. But based on the fact that she has said she likes a halo, I would not get a _cluster ring_. At no stage I meant to suggest that you should get her a solitaire.
My bad for misunderstanding!
Am I getting this right (maybe we should change to finnish
) that you think I should also consider a solitaire ring?

If she has only seen the supply in the "typical" jewelry stores in Finland, I think she'll be blown away by what you can get her online.
Like I said, I would just get the diamond and have the ring made locally according to her wishes. That would be what I'd and all of my lady friends, with whom I have discussed ring issues, would prefer. That way you would not have to decide with the style, but that would be up to her.
Of course if you do end up proposing with the temp ring holder she cannot wear it and you'd have to take precaution not to loose the diamond.
If this is not a viable option, I'd choose the biggest center diamond money would allow, and then get a simple halo.
I'd recommend checking also Bluenile.co.uk, since VAT is included. They have pictures/videos nowadays.
I see that yellow you're seeing too, but I thinking it's a reflection of something in the room - I see it flash across the mrbs too. I don't think you'd see that much yellow in a G. Also one of those mrbs is an H I think... How do you feel about the type of sparkle in the oec vs the mrb?
Hopefully others will chime in with some guidance!
You know what, IDJ sent me an email. I think they are holding very very nice MRB diamond for me!
Im not expert but even im quite sure that this have very nice proportions. Diamond price $925 and if I still want it in that stuller setting $795, so total would be $1720.
Diamond itself is bigger than Ilyas mrb's and have better cut and CHEAPER!
IDJ will examine that diamond and then sent will send video for me. What you think have I really now FINALLY found the center stone

That's awesome that you've made a choice!I really think its going to be MRB. I just know it!
Those specs are a little outside of recommended but it scores well on HCA (1.5), I think as long as it's an eye clean SI2 it should be a decent diamond. Much better than Ilya's 2 choices. I think IDJ generally has a good eye and you could trust their recommendation. It isn't actually bigger tho - this diamond has a 5.1mm spread and I thought Ilya's options were a bit spreadier...better cut will make it look bigger however!
Can you link to the stuller style you're considering?
This was the original stuller plan https://www.stuller.com/products/bu...dationSource=SearchRedirect#/mounting-options
But I think when right diamond have found we can consider with IDJ something else also from stuller which maybe is more rounded halo. Like that tiffany soleste style. OR maybe they have something in mind.
But take a look this diamond which I found at bluenile using my search criteria. What do you think which is better that IDJ or this one? this BN is like $100~more
The yellow you are seeing is also in the MRB's, it's just smaller because it has those small splintery facets instead of the large juicy OEC ones
Hahah I can see soxfan that you are totally in love with that OEC!

I WISH I had known about stones like this before I overpaid for my first engagement ring. Boy, if I could have had that one for $1000!!!!
You have to get what you like, I just think the OEC looks the prettiest
I don't know much about MRB's, I'll leave the experts to advise you on your choices. Good luck!!!

I prefer the IDJ one. Looking forward to seeing the video!
Maybe stupid question but how its better if that BN got G color grade and all other specs same...(didnt look table crown etc...im quite bad with them
)I dont know, actually I have to ask IDJ after I have made my decision.
I'm "THIS" close to pull the trigger!!
With si2 clarity you just need to make sure its eye clean, especially with clouds.
I'm seeing this diamond at b2c, it's one color grade lower (J) but it's vs2 and will be eye clean. Really nice spread of 5.4mm @ .59ct. Good hca score (1.4).
It's $1093 bank wire price, so a little more than IDJ's. But maybe worth it for that extra spread!

Hmm. Maybe yes but then it needs to ship to Ilya for making the ring. Did you mean 0.57ct instead of 0.59ct. But maybe after idj have inspected the diamond and its eye clean its safe to buy? B2c is $168 more.

I would say see the IDJ first. IDJ can also probably source the above mentioned stone.
I would think so, I haven't dealt with IDJ a lot but the general consensus seems to be that they're the bees knees at sourcing good diamonds, especially
Yekutiel.
Pop that bad boy into a round version of that stuller and I think you've got yourself a gorgeous ring!
Just FYI, shipping from b2c to Ilya would be free and fast. Once they get the diamond I think it's 1-2 days for shipping.
See if IDJ can call that diamond in, doesn't hurt to ask. They'll need the gia #. That clarity grade and extra 0.3mm spread would be worth the extra $ for me. They might even be able to get a better price for it

Can I search that diamond with GIA number from b2c? Because I tried to search it with GIA specs using b2c filter but nothing was found. Someone already bought it?

Honestly, I prefer the cut and color on the IDJ one, so no need to frown. Let's wait for the video!Can I search that diamond with GIA number from b2c? Because I tried to search it with GIA specs using b2c filter but nothing was found. Someone already bought it?
