Thank you DS2006 and Gypsy,
Obviously a very good, detailed experience for me to follow and learn from.
Actually I'm doing all this because my gf has never trusted me completely. While she's loved me unconditionally, she's already worried being cheated, feeling jealous because I often treat other girls very kindly. I don't know how to help her with that but I do know I don't want her to feel the same way now when we're married. Hopefully by the time I've proposed her, she can read this whole thread and think for herself how much I care.
Anyway, I've sent my request to purchase the diamond from whiteflash to all jewelers in Sydney, Australia and none of them can help me facilitating the purchase (expected), except I'm still waiting my current jeweler to answer. In case they can't, I've narrowed down to the below stones (from the jeweler) with very strictly limited parameters. The only thing is there is no ideal-scope nor aset images which I might have to request from them.
But the stats seem to add up ok.
