Hi all
Great forum with heaps of information howeverever I think it has confused me a little. I am after a princess cut diamond, on yellow gold solitare setting for my girlfriend on a budget of about 5k with maximum 6k.
I prefer to get the largest stone in my budget (1 carat if you ask my girlfriend) however would like it to be of good quality as my girlfirend (like most) will look at it all day long.
As I am looking for a yellow gold setting and have heard that this can make a diamond look a little yellow - although with the prongs being white gold this solves this problem correct? I guess part of my problem is that I have been going in to change stores for research and when the sales assistant holds two different coloured diamonds next to each other there is a slight difference in colour. Any other time I wouldn't be able to tell. The other problem of going in to chain stores is their prices are....well...pricey!
I am in Australia and have been looking on http://www.jogiadiamonds.com.au/ due to it being in Aus but after reading good experiences of people importing from the US I am open to that.
One diamond I have been looking at on jogiadiamond is this one below however I am not sure if it is the best bang for buck. Also the girdle as being extremely thin which is susceptible to damage I believe?

Again I am a newbie and would appreciate any suggestions or advice
Cheers
