Happy New Years everybody! I'm located in the New York area and am looking to purchase an engagement ring. I'm in a rush and need to place an order by this weekend (at the latest) with the expectation that it arrives early to mid- next week. I don't want to make a rash / impulsive decision, so decided I would reach out to the experienced diamond community for your thoughts / input. From the threads I've been able to read already, everybody has suggested James Allen, Brian Gavin, Whiteflash, Good Old Gold and/or High Performance Diamond. I could physically visit GOG to view diamonds in-person, which would be nice, but have also read they charge a slight premium relative to the online retailers (given their brick & mortar presence, reporting and educational materials). Would anybody be able to recommend the best bang for my buck? Ideally looking to spend around $15k all-in (with setting), but could stretch up to $20k if you believe the different would be noticeable. Looking for something simple / conservative, yet elegant. Nothing too flashy.
Separately, any thoughts on platinum vs. white gold?
Thanks in advance all!
