Hi All!
I have been excitedly running through all information on Pricesope since getting engaged in early December. I was initially completely bamboozled by all information diamond related, however I now feel somewhat more enlightened & overwhelmed in equal measure and have gotten slightly obsessive with the different diamond characteristic and how the result in a brilliant sparkly diamond (its clear I never listened in Physics class).
I'm hoping you can help as I think I am beginning to get to a stage where I am over analysing/ loosing my mind, which isn't ideal considering my knowledge is limited & recent, but I'm really keen for my fiancés hard earned cash to go on something that's the best value.
I am a complete diamond novice but have set out the following criteria
Diamond criteria
Carat - 1.6+ nice spread - Round brilliant
Colour - H +
Clarity - SI2 (Good quality SI2) +
Cut - Excellent - No compromise on this
Budget - My fiancé has allotted a generous budget of £10,000 for the ring. I'm based in the UK so any stone coming from the US will incur 20% VAT (albeit I have contemplated flying to New York for a day to pick up a stone - I think I may be going crazy
)
HCA score ideally of 2 or less
Band - tiffany style knife edge 6 prong
Your help and advise would be much appreciated.
