Hi everyone!
My partner is buying my new e ring in about two weeks now and im so excited.
I want to be able to have the stone & setting readily chosen so he does not have to waist time doing the back tracks on my research.
Basically at this stage our budget comes in lower than expected due to a surprise pregnancy thats due in 4 weeks. This is our seccond baby jn 10 months lol and our 3rd in total so basically its been rather costly. So all up id like to spend $2500 for engagement & wedding band. Which is a ok with me as ive never been a fan of huge rocks on my hand. The wedding band i have chosen is $460 and i absolutely adore it. The setting i have chosen is a thin pave setting like the JA french pave in 14k which comes to $550. So that leaves us woth approximately $1500 for a nice stone. I was originally looking at rounds but i think im more partial to cushions & radiant cuts.
So im wondering whats the best way to go about this? I have looked on JA and for a .6ct G VS2 cushion in the setting it came in at $2070.
Do you think that the .6ct is too small for a size 5.5 finger. Should i go up or down in carat, clarity, colour etc to et more value. Or should i lookon ebay for something simillar that falls in budget. For example fascinating diamonds seem to have a few nice rings also i found a solitaire .68ct cushion vintage cut g vs2 for $960 which we could have reset in to JA but it was not gua certified however was appraised by a gia gemologist graduate or something. I basically would like a nice sized stone nice on the color clarity scale and dont want to waist $ in unecessary areas. Like if going from .5ct to .6 is going to be super unoticible is there a point ? Id appreciate any help any opinions x

id like the centre stone to stay the main attraction. Surronded by lots of delicate diamonds on the thin bands
