I am either buying a loose stone or an engagement ring. I am looking at purchased a Princess, Cushion or Radiant. or possibly a Round.
I haven't been given a lot of information other then what she has stated in that she likes Princess and when looking at rings she doesnt get too excited which doesnt lead me to much. I have tried asking her friends as well to see if she had a pinterest page but she is not into that sort of thing. She would be happy with whatever but again stated that she likes a princess shape. Her friends this past weekend at a wedding showed her a few different types and did like the princess, cushion and radiant cuts.
My question is: I am assuming different cuts cost more/less... I understand the 4 C's and would like to get something that is going to take up some space on her finger but be of question and sparkle... I would like to get a nice stone and unsure if I am going to do a halo or not as some of the friends this past weekend had that as well which drew her attention to as well the simplicity of just the stone... She is a size 8 and again likes the princess cut and vintage style ring... I have looked up on bluenile as other websites but trying to figure out where I would save the most money but getting the stone myself, having a jeweler make something for me. but really it comes down to the quality of stone that I would like to get a good price for and something of size to take up some room on her finger. I would looking at like a 2ct...? I was reading but could be wrong but some stated that a 1.5ct stone might be better then a 2ct again depending on the 4 c's but can you have a 1.5 have a same table as a 2? Which stone with be the best sparkle to hold like and such?
Thank you for your help!
