Ok, originally i thought that I wanted a third of a carat but because of the shrinkage factor I decided to go with something aroung.63 for sure. Now I want to try to stay in the $2,000 range for the diamond and the setting. I''ve looked around on the site and I''ve seen lots of amazing looking J''s and K''s so I think that would be a good option. I''ve been trying to read up on diamon education and I just wanted to see if I''m understanding things correctly. Now, because of it being a warmer stone should I be looking for something with faint to medium flour, also it''s best to have a med to med thick girdle and a minimal culet correct ? I''m not looking to do this until March but I''m just trying to get all of my facts straight now that way I can just go ahead and buy. Also, I do see a lot of other vendors on the site, it seems to be that the most frequented are GOG, wink, James Allen & Whiteflash. I have also read that to feel more confident in buying on-line to get a stone with an AGA cert, is that right ? I definately feel better about buying from a pricescope vender but still a little nervous LOL Thanks so much for your help !!
