Hi Guys,
I'm looking to spend around £5,000 - £6,000 (around $7000 to $9000).
I want to get my intended a 1ct D colour (or E) round Diamond that's VS1 / VS2.
If I can get 'better' specs that would be great. I just want to try and get the best I can. I'm in the UK and make frequent flights to the states so happy to buy something there / online and get it delivered and pick up before bringing back to the UK.
What i'm lost on is things like depth / thickness etc. I've read loads of threads on this site but i had a few questions:
1. Is $7k to $9k the right amount for a ring of this type.
2. What specifically should I be looking for (I keep seeing things like "fire"!?)
3. Is it a good idea to buy the diamond loose and then get a jeweller to set the diamond in the ring (I live nearish to a place that is famous for making jewellery so pretty sure I could get a setting without too much trouble / cost).
Sorry - I may well post again with more questions when I start finding stuff based on your suggestions. I totally get the whole CT / Colour / Inclusions stuff - I'm just lost on the rest and don't want to spend a fortune and get something that's a bit rubbish!
Thanks
J
