I have been a lurker on this board for about 3 months now trying to learn all I could about diamonds in anticipation for the day when it came....Well it has arrived and unfortunately my boyfriend is as if not more nervous and confused as I am. It seems like the more I learn the more I feel the "perfect" diamond doesn''t exist. That is why I decided to look to the experts for help...finally!
I know the setting I want. It is a new (3 weeks old) Ritani pave setting. The budget I am looking at is relative but around 12,000 to 13,000. What I really would like is a 1.7 Round no lower than G VS1 stone with symmetry VG VG or EX EX. Is this an impossible task? I live in NYC and was set on going to engagementringsdirect.com on or around 47th street since they really seemed to have the best prices and were very nice but when looked up with the BBB they seemed to have misrepresented themselves once as a BBB member. SuperbCert is also an option yet I couldn''t really fin many diamonds on their site matching the criteria I was hoping for and really don''t know much about goodoldgold on Long Island to make a judgment. Has anyone ever dealt with any of the companies? Can anyone lend some advice as to if this is even doable. I really would appreciate any help anyone can lend.
