Hi guys -
First of all, this is a fantastic forum! I've been with my gf for just about 6 years now and we are looking to get engaged in a year time. I am new to anything and everything re. diamond so my apologies in advance if my questions are way too basic. I would also appreciate if you guys could refer me to any existing threads that may help me jump start on this...
So far, I have done some very preliminary research on my own over the Internet and I've visited a few jewelers around here (NYC/NJ/CT) - so I do have some basic knowledge as to what the 4 C's are and etc. I've been poking around various different jewelry designers, such as Tacori, Ritani, Tiffany's and etc. One thing that struck me is that I wasn't able to find whole lot of diamond wholesalers - I've heard people visiting diamond wholesalers in California and etc. or through personal connections - they all claim to have gotten a much better quality diamond for the price they paid.
Would you guys know any well-known / proven diamond jewelers for an engagement ring? My budget is around $20K and I think anything between 1 to 1.5 ct is perfectly fine for her (ring size 6).
Any ideas? Much appreciate folks.
