Most of my collecting and interest has previously been in colored stones. But I'm getting more and more into diamonds and need some advice! Let me know if I'm on the right track in what I think I want:
I *think* I'm looking for an antique cushion or OEC. I like flowery chunky facets, and a white or creamy look overall, with lots of pastel rainbow highlights. I don't think the kozibe effect is as important to me. I think I would like fluorescence to give added brightness.
I have smaller fingers, 4.75-5.25 for ring fingers, and I don't want an ostentatious stone, more a moderate size appropriate for all kinds of situations. So I was thinking a 1-2 ct would be plenty, maybe with side stones. And perhaps the stone should be on the shallower side as I like very low settings. I would prefer roll-over or bezel types settings, in yellow gold.
This one for sale from Gem Rocks is I think the direction I might like, except with a smaller stone, and with a lower seat on the finger, and yellow gold. https://loupetroop.com/listings/rin...n-cvb-august-vintage-cushion-avc-diamond-ring
This one is out of my price range as well.
Does it sound like I'm on the right track in identifying the right stone type for me? Any other things I should think about or questions I should be answering? Thanks!
