I logged in just to say that I'm completely impressed with what you've done with the budget! 0.45 is not small, my ring is 0.47, and I paid way more than that for a similar quality ring about 9 years ago. You're working miracles with a $750 budget! I get that cut is important, but most of us put size up way up there as well. This is a great compromise of getting the size with a diamond that should be eye clear and near colourless to the naked eye for the average person. I'd imagine a lot of us would choose a 0.45 carat rather than a 0.25 - 0.31 which looks like what you can afford in your price range when you move up colour and clarity.
