I am looking for a ring as an anniversary present for this summer for my wife! I would love to have some help! Sorry if this is lengthy but I think hearing the whole story will help. My wife currently has a Kay's LEO 3 stone ring which she really loves. I want to find a round solitaire, at least 1 ct. in a tiffany type setting as I have always wanted to buy her this type of ring. Would love to buy around 1.5 ct. if I can. I will probably spend around 10,000-11,000 max on stone and setting.
I have gone to tiffany and have looked at I color stones. They had 2 rings right around 1 ct. VS1,cut symmetry and polish all excellent. I liked them, and I didn't see any color to the stones. I thought they were very beaufitul rings that would blow my wife away. Only problem was the price tags were about 14,500 for 1.01 ct. ring. WOW!
Since looking at Tiffany, I am pretty sure I will now buy at whiteflash as I have already been in contact with a lady who is very helpful. I would like to find an ACA or Expert Selection. I am looking at I or J color stones. Probably around SI1 clarity.
My wife's current ring is the Kay 3 stone LEO ring. The center diamond is a .46 E color Round, SI2 stone. Polish & Symmetry are good/good. RATED BY GSI
My questions:
1. Does anyone have any idea what her GSI rating would equal out compared to AGS? I've read that the GSI report really is not accurate with other gradings like tiffany or whiteflash AGS. I want the new stone to at least be comparible to the center stone she has now.
2. Do you think an ACA I or J color will look well when worn together. (on different hands) She always wears the ring she has now, so it's not possible to take it along and compare anywhere. The rings at tiffany looked great, but they have some fancy lighting going on there too, so it's hard to know anything considering that.
Thanks so much for any help. It's hard to shop without her knowing!
