Hello All,
I am shopping for my first engagement ring and hopefully last , but I am a bit overwhelmed with the number of selections available. I have read all about the 4 C's but am now confused regarding reputable dealers and price ranges.
A couple of questions for the experts on this forum:
The following questions are based on a 1.3 ct diamond on a platinum setting
1) What is the lowest color grade I can purchase; I noticed an abundance of H & J colors for the hearts and arrows collections
2) Comparing a couple of sites, James Allen and Brian Gavin, I noticed a large price difference and wanted to know if it was warranted.
