Hi!
I am currently located in NYC. I have just started the search for a ring.
So I know I want to get a very simple rose gold setting with an oval diamond. Still undecided on the halo, I think it depends on the size of a diamond I can find in my price range, which would be up to $30k, closer to $25k ideally. Questions I have..
1) Cheaper to buy online or in person?
2) Do local retailers typically match prices to a potentially higher value diamond I find online?
3) I've heard that with a rose gold setting, I could theoretically get away with a lower level color, like a G or an H, is this true?
4) For clarity, you could not tell the difference between VS1/VS2 and anything higher with the blind eye. Is this true?
5) How important is "cut"?
Priority is definitely size of the diamond so I would like to find an ideal combination of the above. I've found that 2.5 carat rings seem to be ~23-25k that are G/H, VS1/VS2, very good cut, does this seem reasonably priced?
Thanks!
