Hello All,
This is my first post but I''ve been reading a lot of threads trying to learn exactly what I want. Trying to keep on the downlow from my GF. But she''s always around looking over my shoulder. So, hard to spend a lot of time looking online (I''ve decided to look online for the most part).
I''ve got a budget max of around 9k for the diamond. Been looking for a round ideal cut around 1.2 carat, d-f, vs2-sI1 eyeclean (don''t really consider myself having an eagle eye though), good score on the HCA, (don''t really understand which scores constitute a FIC) I''d like something that sparkles a lot in most light conditions. I think that''s what FIC is? From what I read a little fluorescense isn''t going to make a difference to the eye since I''m looking in the colorless range. I''m thinking about setting it in a solitaire Tiffany style six prong setting. I read somewhere that girdle thickness shouldn''t be too thin to reduce the chance of chipping. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Peace be with you
Pete
