Hi All,
First I want to thank you in advance for any assistance you can offer in my search for an engagement ring! My boyfriend has given me a budget and said I can choose whatever I want within that budget. The budget is 20k. Please let me know if you think it is possible to find what I desire within this budget. I have been looking in the jewelry stores and have narrowed down what I want.
Of note, the boyfriend is Canadian and has a "family friend jeweler" who we will be going to visit in Canada in June. Our budget there would be 25k CAD. If we can find something better/within the budget in the US, we will consider that too. What I like:
Band: Very thin micropave in platinum
Stone:I would like a solitaire cushion cut, I prefer the rectangular cushion. I would like the center stone to be 3ct minimum. I saw a 3.70 carat stone in a store that I absolutely loved, but it was only 24k. Is it really possible to get a quality stone of that size for that price? What about within my 20k budget?
Basically, I want a very simple ring with a large stone. Will I be able to find a cushion cut at or near 3.5ct within my budget? The budget should include the micropave band as well. Let me know your thoughts!
I am willing to go down to a J in color and a SI2 in clarity to accommodate a large center stone.
I can post pictures of the 3.70 ring I liked in the store if you all would be interested. I look forward to hearing from you, thanks!
