Hi everyone
I have been lurking around for the past few weeks trying to make sense of all the jargon, but am struggling still! We have been married for 11 years & are looking to upgrade my engagement ring.
We are looking for a stone between 0.75 & 1ct, hearts & arrows if possible, we don't mind warmer stones down to a J & eye clean. Hubby says he didn't want to have a "budget" but wanted to concentrate on quality/value. We would get a bezel setting in yellow gold with platinum around the stone either from the vendor or just purchase the stone and have a local jeweller set it.
Here are some choices I have found but can people possibly tell me what I might be missing when I am comparing? And maybe which diamond you would choose please? I have tried to use the HCA tool, & know to avoid EGL. Most of the stones I seem to like are AGS rated. Oh and one more thing, we are in Australia, so does anyone know much about how the http://www.adgl.com.au/ compares to AGS & GIA?

Thanks so much for your help & sorry if this comes across as demanding or impossible requirements.
