I''m searching for an asscher cut diamond for an engagement ring. I''ve done quite a bit of research and have read the message boards. Here are the specifics I''m looking at and would welcome any advice to narrow down my search.
~1.5 carats
VS1-VVS1
at least a very good cut
table: 55-65%
depth: 65-70%
no fluorescence
There seems to be quite a few available through Blue Nile and Union.
First of all, what are the thoughts on purchasing from these vendors? I know this will save money, but is it worth the risk?
Second, the local jewelers keep trying to push SI1, but I hesitate when I see them through a loop. Am I crazy or are these substandard diamonds?
Do any of the current listed asscher diamonds jump out as good buys?
I''ll more than happy to provide options for everyone''s opinion, but I''d like to hear some advice first. This is obviously a huge and meaningful decision and am nervous I''ll mess up.
Thank you.
