I've been researching diamonds/engagement rings for several months now, but the more I learn, the more overwhelmed I become! Basically I want a nice size rock (>1ct) that's also an excellent quality. My budget for the diamond itself is about $10,000 (Canadian) before taxes.
The best bang for my buck appears to be online. I'm thinking VS2 with an ideal cut. I'm concerned about the colour though. Is G sufficient? Some jewlers were saying I should go with an E colour, but I'm concerned I'll have to reduce the size closer towards 1ct if I'm going to be able to afford that. A big part of me would prefer to get up into the 1.3ct, but wanted to ask you the experts if that was a bad choice and if I should go with a bit smaller rock and get the E colour.
Options I'm considering are:
Thoughts? Am I getting the best value/quality for my $10k CAD with these options? If so, which of the 3 would you recommend?
