I have decided on this ring: James Allen Common Prong in a white gold palladium alloy. That will leave me with about $1150 after the setting for the diamond.
I am thinking round cut, H/I color, SI1/SI2 eyeclean, H&A. I just want at least .5 carat
Does that seem like good specifications to look for with the price range? Or should I sacrifice on color or something to get a little more size. It has to be eye-clean and I feel going below I color might be too much, because I could have G side-stones with J center stone and (correct me if I am wrong) the rule of thumb is stay within 2 grades of color.
I am not asking for suggestions as to which diamond to pick, I want to choose for my self and then post here and see if I picked a good one.
Wish me luck and any other advice you think I need, I'd appreciate it.
