Hey all,
I wont bore you with my Enchanted story (post #21 on 'Warning' thread) but I did want to reach out to this community for some guidance as I tread lightly back into my search for another diamond. What I find I'm struggling with most, is that I cant help but compare every diamond I find to the stone I fell in love with-- the stone I thought I purchased ( GIA 6321794798 ). I've become so jaded by this whole predicament that the search has worn me out. What's more, is that now I feel like I can't be happy with a diamond of lesser quality. Ultimately, I think this situation will weigh on me longer if I'm forced to settle for less than I imagined for my girlfriend's ring.
This brings me around to my point of my post-
I'm on the hunt for a cushion cut GIA diamond preferably 1.7ish ct +
I'll be setting the stone in rose gold, and OK to go as low as 'I' in color.
I loved that my previous stone was in the "VS" range but would accept an eye-clean SI1.
I really gravitated towards "Excellent/ideal" cut to go along with EX symmetry/EX polish.
Table over 60%, Depth under 70% required
Lastly, not a fan of the "crushed ice" look, Love the "stars/stripes".
The $8,550 price tag on the one I found with ED fit my budget well, but I know I may have to wiggle a little to be able to get everything I'm looking for again. That being said though, I've already been scammed out of $10,300 so every dollar matters to me at this point.
If any vendor on here happens to read this and believes they have something, please reply. If anyone enjoys the diamond search (I did before) and has a free second to poke around, I'd be forever grateful. I wish I didn't have to hop right back into this, but I'm planning on proposing to my GF on our trip 7/15.
Here's the Enchanted Diamonds stone I purchased and am now trying to replace (It has since been sold, unfortunately):
Thanks so much for taking the time to read, search, or even just offer thoughts/opinions or suggestions.
