I have been searching for the right diamond for a few weeks now. At first, I looked into buying a diamond from Tiffany''s but I cannot justify paying so much more just for the name. However, my girlfriend loves the simplicity of the Tiffany setting, so I have done my research and have found 2 or 3 settings online that are similar to the Tiffany setting. I am still undecided if I should try getting a local retailer to make me a copy or buy one from an online retalier.
As far as the diamond is concerned, my girlfriend wants the biggest size that I could afford...lol She would love to have a 2 carat ring but I think the size is to big for her. To give you an idea, her ring size is a 5 or 5.5 she is a small girl. In my opinion a 1.5 carat ring to maybe 1.75 would look nicer.
Now here is my questions...
Should I try and get the largest stone possible even though I think it would be a mistake??
Also, I know the cut is very important in a purchase, but as far as color, would buying a I or J colored diamond be a mistake if I where trying to get the largest diamond size for the money??
And finally, would the hearts and arrow diamond be more brilliant than a tradionally cut diamond that is very good or ideal??
