Hey Guys,
I am looking to get an engagement ring for my girlfriend, I tried reading up about diamonds and it is just completely over my head. I usually don't do this on forums, but I can't seem to grasp it too well and need the assistance of the experts. Here is where I am at:
15k budget
Radiant diamond
1.5-2carat
d-g color
if-vs1
very good to excellent cut
I just can't get the concept of depth, table, and stuff like that for a diamond. Here are the shops i was looking at, blue nile, white flash, and maybe even USAA, but i am leaning towards the first 2. I was interested in the original radiant cut diamond, but I wasn't able to get a price on their website so I will have to contact them. Is it worth the premium for an original radiant cut? I am planning to purchase in early-mid november and proposing sometime in December. I am a student so my budget is pretty firm, wish it was more but oh well,I might be able to stretch it to 16k if there was a diamond that was worth the stretch. Also, I don't have a lot of time to look at stores and I have been putting it off researching because of my studies. I really appreciate all of the help you guys will provide. Thank you very much!
Also, here is a diamond that seems to fit my criteria so far, just don't know about the other details on there, like depth and table.

What do you guys think of these so far? They will be on a platinum band if that matters. Thanks again, if you have any suggestions, I would welcome them. Thank you
