Hey all,
I'm new to diamond research and this forum was recommended to me by a friend that found it very helpful. I'm from Canada and am looking to purchase and engagement ring got my girlfriend. I have a designer that I'm working with for the setting and he has been suggesting diamonds to me. I do trust him as a few of my friends have purchased through him in the past. He seems to believe that the HCA is not a good tool to evaluate rounds. Any thoughts on the importance of the HCA?
As for what I'm looking for: working with an ~8k CAD budget including tax and setting (~5800 USD). Here in Canada the diamonds that seem to be in my price range are about 0.90 Carats.
The stones that have been suggested to me are as follows:
.90ct. F, VS2 $6635 GIA - 1215665729
.92ct. H, VS2 $6155 GIA - 2217690505
.90ct. G, SI1 $5960 GIA - 2216456076
Any thoughts on those? Or any other suggestions in my price range?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Amar - Vancouver, Canada
