Hi All!
I just joined this forum but have been absorbing all of your wisdom on this website for the past couple of weeks. For someone that is new to the industry, this site has been a tremendously helpful way to get up to speed, so thank you to you all!
Anyways, I am currently in the midst of a stressful process of buying an engagement ring/diamond and thought it could be a good idea to ask for some expert help
The person for whom the ring is being picked likes classic things so I'm going with a brilliant round cut and a platinum solitaire setting (probably 6-prong?) and I am looking to find the best price-for-quality diamond for that option. After some research, I've narrowed it down to the following criteria: ideal cut (most important criteria for me), H color (looking for a white stone although I wonder if I could still be okay with I color? I've read some mixed opinions on this.), VS1/2 clarity, no fluorescence. In terms of the size I am trying to triangulate between a size range of 1.45 - 2.00 and a stone budget of $13-16k (although could stretch to $18k for an exceptional stone). Does anyone have any recommendations on how to go about finding the best stone that fits these parameters?
Thank you in advance for any and all help!
