Hello everyone!
I'm new here. I'm planning on getting an engagement ring in the near future and was told this site was a good one to check out. I've been lurking for a while, trying to come up to speed on everything. If anyone here can offer some advice, I'd appreciate it!
I've already narrowed down the basics. I'm looking for the following:
Solitaire ring, cathedral setting
Round Brilliant Cut
0.9 - 1.1 carats
D-F color (saw a G as graded by EGL in a store and it looked yellow to me)
IF-SI1 clarity (if it's "eye clean")
I'm hoping I can find something for around $5,000 all told. I'm prepared to spend a little more if it's worth it.
I've been doing some research here and there and I think I'd be a fan of the FIC class of diamonds. I really like fire in a diamond and I believe my girlfriend would too. I'm not particular about the diamond actually being 1ct so long as it looks like it's 1ct
.
Basically, I'm looking for opinions and a little guidance. I've come across a diamond with the following stats:
.91 carats
E, VS1
Depth: 62.1%
Table: 57%
Crown angle: 36.5
Pavillion angle: 40.3
Lab: GIA
Price for just the stone: $4,380
I'm wondering if anyone can tell me if this is a decent deal or not. I'm hoping to have Idealscope pics soon.
Any thoughts anyone has would be appreciated. I'm not married to the stone above
, it just seems to come close to what I'm looking for. What do you all think?
Thanks!
Dan
