Hey everyone, I''ve been lurking around here lately while I''ve been preparing to purchase an engagement ring for my girlfriend. After weeks of research I finally decided on a Blue Nile diamond.
1.2c Princess
Color G
VS1
VG cut
VG polish
VG symmetry
Table - 68%
Depth - 73%
Dimensions - 6.23 x 5.83 x 4.3mm
Price - $6299
FedEx delivered it today, and I must say it looks fantastic! Very happy!
Now... I have a few questions for y''all. Should I get it appraised before or after I have it set (or both). I am very concerned about handing my diamond to a stranger and trusting that he/she will not switch it with a lower quality stone. How can I protect myself from such a fraud besides finding someone who is reputable. Any tips or comments?
Thanks!!
Ryan
