decision this weekend .....

[JDiamond69]

I went to a B&M store "friend of her family owns" and was shown a 1ct H VS2 stone for $3700 free solitaire setting. With tax $3940. Jeweler backs the stone, don''t think it had a cert on it. Asked if it had a GIA and was told that just purch and hasn''t sent out yet.

Looking at GOG, Tim recommended me

I have looked at WF ACA:

I am trying to stay at a budget of $5000 for both diamond and setting. For the setting I am debating on the comfort fit x-prong or the tiffany style at WF, or the Vatche x-prong at GOG.

Any opinions on the above or recommendations? Thanks for being here for making this decision a little more bearable.

Not being a princess expert, I know you can''t go wrong with an AGS0 stone. So I think my preferences would be the first GOG stone or the WF stone.
