Hello PS!
As a nervous first timer, I’ve been trolling the forums for a month and I’ve come to see that this is definitely one of the most helpful communities I’ve ever seen. I was hoping to put myself out there to get help looking for a cushion stone. I want to get a stone online and get it set locally. That way my GF and I can go through the experience of choosing a setting together (I’ll get a simple solitaire setting for the proposal). I also think it may be a cost advantage to buy a stone online.
That being said, I’m hoping to get help for a cushion shape, 1-1.5 carat, DEF (cultural reasons), cut is important, and eye clean stone. My budget is around 5k. For the right stone, I can push the budget up to 6k.
I’ve been looking at this particular stone for a while. Unfortunately, my opportunity has passed because I was too indecisive. I don’t think the fluorescence would have bothered me, but the thickness seemed to be an issue, hence my hesitation. But now that it’s sold -- I’m hoping to find something similar. It was just about the right budget ($5,300) and size too. Anything comparable you recommend?
