I would look for the best cut oval or pear I could find, I or J colour and SI clarity ( GIA graded) and verified eyeclean by the vendor. I would go for a simple solitaire setting in gold with a 2mm band to make the diamond pop!Date: 2/10/2009 11:31:25 AM

I''m considering cushion cuts. Will J or K look too yellow in them?
And my GF loves vintage styles so plain gold bands are out..![]()

Yeah, she likes micropave, milgrains, sidestones, etc... so more like vintage-style, I guess. No so much into plain solitaires..![]()
I like the antique looks of http://www.doverjewelry.com/catalog/engagement_rings_under_5k/vintage_diamond_engagement_platinum_ring.html
but has concerns over the quality of the cut...and that it''s another RB.
