Finally scrimped the money it''s gonna take to make this chick happy (i hope!). I''ve been looking over these forums and searching for months but still my head begins to spin when i go looking for diamonds. So here I am for some advice.
Basically this is what i''m going to need:
Princess Cut
Carat: BIG! The bigger the better. She''s made it abundantly clear that she wants big!
Cut: Fire! She wants a dazzling diamond. Wants to burn out her own eye sockets.
Clarity: I''m not sure on this one. Story Below.
Color: Not obviously yellow, and no fluorescence under any circumstances (i tried to sell her on this, absolutely no dice).
Budget: about $5,000.
We went to the local mall jeweler and she tried to sell my lady on a ring that was about $11,000. Was I2 clarity and about 1.5 carats, and an ''I'' in color i think?? My girlfriend LOVED it. Big happy smile on her face. After 5 minutes I got to look at it and the very first thing i saw was the big bad CRACK running down the right side of the face (interior). That day I mentally dropped my Clarity filter from VS2 to SI.
So basically for 5 grand i want to be able to get a diamond that will draw you in with its gravitational pull then shoot lazers through your retinas. Any specific dimensions I should be looking for in terms of l/w ratios or depth/table? Any specific diamonds? Thanks in advance for all your help and reading all the way through this!
