Help in choosing diamond for new ring :)

[marimari]

Hello all,

I am looking for a new engagement ring after I lost my original one (so traumatic!) and I just am so thankful for this forum. I was hoping that some of you would help me choose a new diamond. My hope is to find one through GOG and get a Mark Morrell setting. I was looking to spend around $6000 on the diamond, but up to $7500 if I found a beautiful stone.

Here's one I'm interested in:

what were the color/clarity of your other ring? this is quite a wide range, so maybe go look in person to see what you prefer?

also there are a number of used mark morell settings so if you are OK with used you might be able to save some money that way!
