Hi guys,
I'm from Australia. I've been reading the forum for a couple weeks now and looking to get an engagement ring. I'd ideally like to get a ring between 0.9 to the magic carat and looking for something that is eyeclean but is good value for money for the quality of diamond. I'm more about quality over size. My budget is 7k to 11k AUD for the diamond and setting but can be flexible if the right diamond came up. I've been looking around a few different sites like the usual recommended vendors.
For my searches I have been going for D-F colour, up to vs2 for clarity, polish vg to ex, symmetry ex and fluorescence of none. I haven't seen any diamonds and have made the assumption that the above would be a good quality diamond but if anyone can suggest to me to change my search parameter I would happily reconsider.
I do like the following diamonds. All GIA certified and price in AUD

Sym - Ex
Po - VG
Flo- None
Depth - 61.1

For 8500 a 0.9 carat

Table- 57
Crown- 33
Pav- 41.2
HCA Score- 2
I can't get photos for the first 2 but the last 2 are from James Allen so will ask for an idealscope image.
I don't know how to read idealscopes but what would below be in relation to the idealscope reference chart? I was considering this diamond also.
This is a Jogia diamond- http://www.jogiadiamonds.com.au/diamonds/diamonditem.php?code=SS1712
I was considering buying from Jogia because it is local and based on what I have found it is comparable to diamonds found on overseas sites. The problem also like Blue Nile is that I can't see the diamonds. If I only had stats like above how bad could the diamond be?
This site is awesome has been a tremendous help. Thanks in advance.
