Hi all. I've spent a countless number of hours this past week researching an engagement ring for my girlfriend and would like some advice before I pull the trigger! I've narrowed it down to Round, only Excellent cut in a either H or G colour and eye clean SI1 is fine. She has very small hands and the petite ring should hopefully make it look quite nice. It will go in this setting. www.jamesallen.com/engagement-rings/pave/platinum-petite-pave-engagement-ring-flush-fit-item-56280
I have this diamond on hold at James Allen for the next 24 hours so will hopefully make a decision before then: www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut/0.66-carat-g-color-si1-clarity-excellent-cut-sku-5625321
It's priced at $2140 and that's about the budget i'm looking at spending. (Maybe up to 2240 if there's a diamond that's better bang for your buck) I've asked JA and i've been advised it's eye clean. I've also ran it through the HCA and it came back with a 0.8 score but not quite sure how to interpret that. The table and depth falls within the ideal range as does the crown and pavilion from the research i've done so technically it should have a bit of sparkle. I'm just not sure if there's a better bang for your buck diamond or if I should just buy this one?
I'm a bit exhausted reading hours on end about it all so would just like some confirmation from somebody who knows what they're looking for that this diamond is the best I can get given my criteria! Any help would be appreciated!
