Hi everyone,
I posted a few months ago looking for advice and found everyone's responses very helpful. Well, our 5 yr anniversary is coming up next month and I think it's time I pull the trigger.
My problem is not unlike anyone else's: I'm having difficulty compromising budget with quality. I've settled on the Vatche U113 setting, but I can't seem to find the diamond I'm looking for. I did, however, find these two that are very interesting to me and I would really LOVE to hear other thoughts.
Diamond #1:

A CUT ABOVE
Size: 1.844ct
Color: J
Clarity: VS2
Diamond #2:

3X
Size: 2.03ct
Color: J
Clarity: VS2
HCA: 1.8
Price is practically identical. I know that my GF would be ecstatic with a 1.8ct but I once saw her try on a Tiffany 2ct and her face just lit up! I'd like the same effect when I propose. I know it's silly to fixate on the 2ct mark, but I'm struggling to move past it. She's been very patient with us getting engaged.
So again, I struggle to balance getting to that 2ct mark while still getting a quality stone in my budget. BTW I could go a little higher on my budget for the right diamond, but if I can keep the diamond around $15k, I would be very happy.
Thanks in advance!
