As a relatively new reader, I wanted to thank everyone right up front for their knowledge, participation, and enthusiasm on this board. This is a big purchase for me - having found PriceScope I can move forward with much more confidence in the investment.
I feel like a Harry Winston engagement ring would offer the uniqueness I am looking for, even though I know I could get a ring that either grades better, or is significantly lower in price for an equally graded GIA certified ring. Here are the options I have lined up and I WOULD VERY MUCH APPRECIATE YOUR FEEDBACK and ADVICE:
1ct cushion cut solitaire, G VS2 @ $12,200
or
1ct round G VS2 @ $14,200
The cushion maxes out my budget already, but I feel the round is more timeless and is what I really like better. Not sure yet what my girlfriend would like best, but I think she would be thrilled with either.
1. Please share any comments you have on the pricing
2. If I stretched, would the round ring be worth it?
