I really need some help deciding on which stone to use for an engagement ring for my girlfriend.
I recently purchased a knockout 2.6 G Eye-clean SI1 AGS Triple Ideal. It''s a .2 on the HCA, its optimal symmetry is amazing (H&A depending on definition), and faces up big (9mm diameter).
When I mentioned the purchase to my mother, she told me about some family rings in a safety deposit box that I may want to consider. As we do not live near each other, she had to send me pictures. One really stood out to me and I think it has a lot of potential. It is an round Old European cut, dimensions are 7.9mm. She brought it to a jeweler for his estimate of the stone''s quality and he told me he thought it was at least a G color and could not find any inclusions under 10x. I have yet to see the stone in person.
I am excited about potentially saving (a lot) of money, but at the same time, I want to make sure I get her something that she will be truly happy with. My girlfriend likes rings with big spread

Any advice/comments would be GREATLY appreciated, thanks!
