hello everyone,
so one of my friends 21st birthday is in july and am planning to give her a diamond pendant but am just not sure which one is better or the size i''m picking. what i''m looking for is:
Color: D-F
Clarity: IF
Cut: Signature Ideal - Ideal
Carat: 0.30-0.32
i have been looking at Bluenile, James Allen And Diamondsonweb.
My question is how big 0.30 carat IS??? i mean i know it cant be that big as its shown in the pics but i really have no idea about them in actual vs pics.
i''m planing to spend about $1000(+/- 100) on the diamond and then theres the setting which is maybe another $350 depends on the site. i''ll be using the yellow gold setting so yeah.
i have a few links from the websites so if you can tell me which one is better and your opinions will be greatly appreciated. specially the ones from all the ladies out there, i know you guys have much better input of this kind of stuff.

P.S. i have a $100 coupon discount from BN.
Diamondsonweb: i''m not really sure about it, i cant find any reviews about this site and also wouldnt it sound really cheap giving a gift to someone and on the box it reads diamond s on web. on all these websites i used build your own diamond pendant so yeah. you would actually think i''m crazy but some friends are well worth it and theres only one 21st bday in life. just to be clear i''m a guy and shes a girl. lol
anyways all help will be highly appreciated. also i dont have a bigger budget, lets remember i''m still in college.
thanx
