Hi all,
So we are finally ready to make a decision on the engagement ring We got married a couple of months ago, I didn't know what kind of e-ring I wanted, I went through many ideas and options and read everything on this forum, and I finally know what I want!
I would love to get your help in finding my stone.
Requirements:
We would like to find a nice Cushion cut (modern, but I like medium/large facets), G+ color (prefer F+ but a good G would work), ~1.7ct, eye clean (SI1+), none to faint fluorescence. Would really like to keep the price under 11K but if we can't find the right stone at this price we can move up by 1-2K.
BlueNile doesn't have any videos or pics of the actual stones, which makes it really hard to find an eye-clean stone (I was looking a few months ago and it had a lot of videos, do they not have it during the holidays?!).
We found these two on James Allen, just by looking at the pics/videos, what do you think:
(A bit over budget):

(A bit small):

Any other ideas? Do you think it's a bad time to buy during the holidays? (No videos on BN, less inventory overall?)
