Help, Engagement ring, quality of the side stones,

[Andreas Robert Thoernblom]

I am just about to finish the last things to get her dream ring,

I am wondering what is the right thing to get when it comes to the side diamonds in the pave, do you usually buy GIA certified like What I have as the center stone? Can you actually get it? I saw that I had the option to get GSI certified ones but I haven’t heard much good about them, what type of quality should I get?

The centerstone is a solitaire 2.1 cut above G colour. on the band I want 9 small diamond on each side size , 2pt.
Thank you for all the help
Andreas

Lab reports are usually for diamonds over 25-30 points. 2 pointers will not have lab reports. They still should be well cut, but you can't buy them separately and the designer making the ring for you should be able to provide you with a choice or a preference for melee quality.

What is the color and clarity of the center stone? Typically higher end jewelry is in 18kt gold or platinum with F/G VS melee. And that works for any well cut center stone down to I, usually, but sometimes people like to match the with like H-I melee. But since it needs to specially be sourced (because it is not the melee they usually use and they are not buying a parcel) it can actually cost more than their usual melee--even if their usual melee is F/G VS.

If the center stone is A Cut Above and you’re buying from whiteflash and they're doing the setting, you don’t have to worry. It will rock!
