Hello everyone, I ask for your help.
I want to buy an engagement ring and look for a Princess or Radiant diamond.
I have been dealing with the topic for a week and have read and understand a lot, but unfortunately no practical experience how to recognize a diamond that is good value for money and has a great fire. After countless consultations with the respective dealers, I have now selected the following stones.
I would be so grateful if you can tell me your ideas about the stones reg overall performance and especially the fire.. I am happy to accept a suggestion from you which was not within my scope. My stones found:
1) https://www.whiteflash.com/loose-diamonds/princess-cut-loose-diamond-4189500.htm
2) https://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/princess-cut/0.80-carat-e-color-vvs2-clarity-sku-8032225
3) https://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/princess-cut/0.83-carat-f-color-vs2-clarity-sku-7829090
4) https://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/princess-cut/0.90-carat-g-color-vvs2-clarity-sku-7884780
5) https://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/princess-cut/0.80-carat-e-color-vvs2-clarity-sku-7832561
6) https://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/princess-cut/0.73-carat-d-color-vs2-clarity-sku-7230021
My budget was actually around $ 2500 for the stone.
But I'm also ready to go a little higher. If it's cheaper, that's a good thing. On the one hand I want the stone to be a certain size (0.73-0.9ct) or as big as possible, but I don't want to miss the
wonderful shine and fire. With well known dealers there are the top lines like "a cut above" or "true hearts" or Astor. Unfortunately, with my budget there is only a lower carat number available or none at all.
Hence the attempt to find a beautiful stone with an ideal cut, symmetry and polish. For sure I like to have them in a more white color like E, F, G.My favorite so far
is No:
1) I like that for the ct the dimension is nearby 0.5mm (4,92mmX4.92mmx3.62), so a bit bigger than the other 0.73ct I have listed. + the overall impression on Whiteflash is great to me.
2) Thats the latest one I have looked at and blocked it at JA. Wondering a bit thta with 0.8ct the dimension is nearby similar than 1).
Anyhow, I would appreciate your help ans suggestions on my search. I need to give a feedback to WF and JA until Monday next week.
It would be very nice if you can help me here.
Thank you so much
