Hello all, new member here.
I'm looking for a diamond engagement ring and would appreciate everyone's help. My preference would be closer to 2 carats, color I, clarity VS2, with a budget of around $18K. It seems super ideal diamonds are highly recommended here.
However, when I visited a local jeweler who had a Crafted by Infinity diamond and compared it to a triple-excellent stone of comparable size, it didn't blow me away. It did have more fire I guess, but both were plenty sparkly to my untrained eyes. Can you all tell a difference in the real world?
Here are my picks so far, which one do you think is the best choice?
1. James Allen: 2.02 ct
2. Brian Gavin: 1.817 ct, 1.825 ct
3. Crafted by Infinity: 1.88 ct
4. WhiteFlash: 1.94 ct, 1.82 ct
I'm leaning towards the James Allen or Whiteflash for size, but open to other suggestions.
Thanks for your help!
