I would like to maximize the carat size for the $$, spending from 5-8k.
I''ve been trying to list my ring options, so far this is what I have come up with:
1- Purchase an existing antique ring
2- Construct a new ring outside of the USA to avoid sales taxes and take advantage of the exchange rate.
So far I have not found an antique that catches my eye...
I''m considering purchasing outside of the US. Can anyone recomend any specific vendors?
To also maiximize my $$ I realize that the lower the quality, the larger carat for the price. Can anyone tell me the lowest grade that is still beautiful to the naked eye? ...and if there is such a dividing line is there a way to factor color and clarity into this equation?
Thank you for your time!
