We have no decent B&M's around here, so I'm shopping online for the diamond to put in my wedding ring. With size 10.25 fingers, I'm thinking anything much smaller than 6 mm wide would start looking kind of feminine, but my budget won't let me get up into the 7 mm range. With this in mind, I've been playing around on many sites have narrowed down 8 possibilites at this point (plus an email to GOG). All have GIA certs, are in the .5-.6 ct range, and 5.8-6.2 mm long, most without fluorescence (one has medium). A couple have some wonky percentages (table > depth), but I've actually read a couple oddball pages where that's described as a good thing. So...with zero pictures to go by (those kind of vendors are mostly out of budget), which of these would you discard as non-starters?
