Hi there experienced PS gurus.
I've been stalking the site for a few weeks now and have finally worked up the courage to make my first post. I'm looking for a round diamond in what will probably be an ideal cut with at least good clarity and color is negotiable (I think I understand that you can skimp on color a bit with great cuts?). Price range for the stone and setting (both together) will be $5k-ish (maybe up to $5,500 for the right stuff). I'm kind of stumped on where to start looking for a platinum band, but I know that I should buy the band AFTER the stone (but I'll accept suggestions).
Apparently diamond prices are on the rise and I realize I might not be able to get up to a 1ct stone in this price range. I should think that I should be able to at least get a .85ct in there though.
Any suggestions or links to specific stones/rings would be great. Other things to note are that my gf's hand is REALLY tiny, so we went and tried on rings and a 1ct looks nice and big (she's pleased
). I think we've decided on a simple platinum band with the single round stone for the engagement ring.
Any help is much appreciated in advance!
