Hi All,
I''ve been pouring over this site ever since I got engaged on Christmas. My issue is regarding the ring. I was given a 2.2 G SI1 princess ring which we decided to return, since I have wanted a cushion cut for as long as I can remember. Well...that being said, I have no idea how to choose a cushion and two weeks in have my head spinning! I know numbers tell you nothing, and there are so many different versions of cushions. Our budget is anywhere from 15,000 to 25,000 for the right stone. I know people say size doesn''t tell you much, but I want it over 2 carats for some reason. I don''t want to go below G, but hear that H''s look the same.
Does anyone know who to trust and what to believe? I hate being engaged with no ring, it''s very lack luster : ) At this point I want to run out and throw something on my hand.
I called ERD after reviewing all the recommendations and began working with Gary Friedman (he answered the phone). He found this diamond:
Size 2.3
Color G
Clarity VS2
Cut Brilliant
Pol EX
Sym VG
F None
Dpth 68.3
TblMeasurements 56%
Sq mm 8.04x 7.47 5.1
Ratio 1.08
price 23k
Can I get some feeback on this option, any concerns? Do you think it''s my best value? I have so many other jewelers telling me different things trying to get me to buy from them. I thought picking out my own ring would be fun, but I''m about to throw in the towel, yeeks! Any advice is appreciated : )
