Hi All,
I've been hesitant to post here as I'm sure vets get tired of these types of posts. I've been using the stock search tool for a couple weeks now and I think I've found two good candidates around my budget of ~$7.5k for setting in a simple platinum solitaire style ring. I don't have an image of either stone yet, but I've asked for that along with a ASET or Idealscope image as well. Have I over-specified one requirement, such as color, at the expense of something else that'll be much more noticeable in a stone of this size? Would you choose one of these over the other for any reason? Or have I not done my homework properly and I'm barking up the wrong tree? Thanks so much for you help, folks!!
