Hi! I''m new to the forum and to diamond shopping.
My SO and I are planning on getting engaged soon and we''ve ring shopping and I''ve been doing a lot of internet research. I feel like we would be a better deal for a diamond online than in most of the jewelery stores in are area however it''s so hard b/c most online stores you cannot see the actual diamond before purchasing - this worries me a little.
Our budget is about $5,000-6,000. And I''m basically looking at radiant or maybe princess cut stones,1.3-15 carats and I''m not too worried about color (so long as it''s not too noticable) and I''d like a good cut. I''m not sure if all these things are options with our budget though.
I''ve been looking at different online stores and these are a few diamonds that I''ve found that I might be interested in purchasing. Could you let me know what you think of these?

Are J color diamonds really noticable do you think? Even if it has medium/strong blue fluorescence?
Thanks for any feedback you can give me. I really appreciate it.
