Hello all,
First off, fabulous site, very informative to say the least. Secondly, I''m on a deadline I suppose, I need to find a ring in the next couple days, and I have been developing grey hair (kidding) from this whole experience. I have basically decided on what I want..but I''m unsure if I''m making the right decision.
1. I want a princess cut diamond, ideal polish/symmetry, no lower then G color, 1-1.1 carat. I would like to spend about $6k on the diamond + the cost of the ring or around there..I would consider spending more for something very nice, and I think that the Vatache X prong platinum looks like the best ring, but I''m open to other suggestions.
2. Clarity- I''m confused. I do not really want anything lower then VS2, but with such a good quality diamond, will SI1 be that noticeable? Since I''m most likely buying online..I won''t see the diamond until I get it..thoughts?
3. Some online diamond places seem better then others...some overpriced..some decently priced...any of you had any good/bad experiences with online retailers?
4. I would like to buy locally, but it seems their prices are more expensive for less quality. I looked at Tiffanys and almost crapped myself at the price tag of $11,900 for a .99 carat F Color VS1 which was nice but..the price tag was ridiculous. Is it safe to buy online?
Any suggestions/comments you have will be much appreciated. I would like to buy soon..but I need a little guidance that I''m making the "right" decision..I mostly want a diamond that she will take out of the box and be taken back by the sparkle and look of it..so if what I''m choosing is not that..let me know.
Thanks
