Diamond Advice would be Appreciated

[tj_pt]

Hi all,
I am ready to take the plunge and buy an engagement ring. I have spent a good amount of time going through the forum, and love the information here. I think I have narrowed the search, but any input would be much appreciated. I am looking for an Round Ideal cut diamond, H-I color, VS2-SL1 clarity, eye clean. Would prefer carat around 1.2 or larger (I know the two I link are smaller). Budget is up to $10000 for diamond.

I am looking to get a platinum Tiiffany replica of some sort. Will an I color be okay with the platinum?

Absolutely! Tiffany offers I color stones in platinum as well.

I think any differences among your picks are likely negligible. Maybe slight minus point for WF 2. I suggest going with the vendor that offers the setting that you want.

HArd to choose between the 3 great pics above, but I'd personally lean towards one of the 2 WF ones. Prefer the VERY SLIGHT stats advantage of the WF... but VERY slight!!! Really - any of those would be incredible!

Agree w thbmok, get the setting where you get the diamond, if at all possible.

I personally would go with a WhiteFlash diamond because they carry the Vatche U-113 Tiffany replica which is the best Tiffany replica, in my opinion (and I have one!). I'd probably pick WF #1.

I ended up going with the Whiteflash with the Vatche U-113 setting. Thank you for your help!

That is going to be perfect!! Nice choice - when do we get the big reveal??? 2 weeks or so? Looking forward to the pics! (which diamond did you pick?)

 

[tj_pt]

Big reveal should be in about 2.5 weeks. Ill definitely post some pics. I went with the first Whiteflash.
