Hi everyone
I'm from Australia and been doing some research on Engagement Rings and to be honest with you the more research I'm doing the more confusing it gets. Serious...
Why only $1500 budget? Well we have 3 sons. We aren't exactly rich people and I can honestly say if I spend more than that it would worry her for a very long time. She would prefer the money on the house and kids. We just can't afford it and I feel like a real cheapy guy but I wish I could get her something much more so this is why I come here so I can possibly get the most out of my money to give her something special. Below is what she likes...
White gold
A ring that has the diamond bit more covered than others. So it's not poking out getting caught on everything (know what I mean?)
A nice plain wedding band that matches.
What I found out doing research it's better getting a good rating in Colour and loose a bit of Clarity? (looks better)
Cut's I'm TOTALLY confused with. Some cuts give better light omg my brain hurts (how do you guys know so much?).
Carots?
Basically I would love if someone is kind enough to give me the estimate ratings of Colour, Clarity etc and type of setting I should get for my budget.
Thanks so much guys.
PS Is buying online a good option?
