At least they will end up with a stone that most folks will find attractive.
Well, OP came here to get opinions on his chosen diamond.
It's ultimately his decision what to do after reading our opinions.
Let's say he never posted here, bought the diamond and loves it.
And one day someone blurted out or he heard/discovered somehow somewhere about these details. Will he just brush it off and say "meh, so what? We love it and that's all that matters"? If not, he may not be in a good position since by then they may be "stuck" with that diamond. Granted it can be more of a mind thing than a noticeable performance issue, but it may still bother him.
And I agree, OP's girlfriend/fiancee may not really care about any of that and will love whatever he gives her because it's from him, especially if she learns about his dedication and commitment through the amount of time and effort he puts in finding the ideal diamond. We need to remember though even if we say it's all about the woman, what she likes etc. that's not 100% true. As the one buying it and coughing up the dough, just like any other purchases, we want to make sure that the money is well spent, regardless of budget. I'm guessing OP wants something better than a diamond that is just "not a detrimental horror".
Good luck, OP.
I agree with this, and I hope he ends up with a great diamond at a price he is comfortable with and finds the buying process less stressful and more enjoyable. I am quite sure he wants something that isn't a detrimental horror, and the point I was trying to make was that some like the look of the diamonds with the "ring of death" leakage that is very much so frowned upon by most here. OP, please come back with the stones you set your sights on now that you have an idea of what the more "ideal" stones look like and how they are proportioned. I'd also recommend some in person viewing to help give you an idea of what your eyes like. Good luck!
