Hello,
I am in the market for an engagement ring and i have a few questions that maybe some of you can answer.
1. What are some good diamond stores located in the bay area (CA). The most popular seems to be the Shane Company, but i was wondering if anyone had other suggestions. I tend to dislike chain stores for some reason.
2. My future wife likes those 3 stone engagement rings. Regarding these rings:
a. what size should the side diamonds be compared to the center stone, is there some rule of thumb?
b. what should the quality of theses stones be? if the center stone is nice (E, VVS2, ideal cut) and the side stones are not as nice (H,SI)will it detract from the center stone?
3. You hear a lot about the 4c''s, but how important are depth%,table%,crown angle, pavilion angle and culet (presence vs absence)
thanks in advance for any help. if you have any suggestions that may help outside of what i asked, that would be appreciated also
thanks
