Hello all. I''ve been browsing these forums for a few days and I first wanted to say what a great community this seems to be. Now down to business:
My girlfriend and I have been looking at rings and I think I''m set on a Ritani solitaire (http://www.ritani.com/ I think it''s the one on the left) and now I''m trying to find a stone to top it off. I''m pretty much looking for an ideal .75-1.0 ct, D-F, VS2 or SI1 (clarity being the least important as long as it''s "eye clean")
I found several on the pricescope search that look good to me but I keep going back to one in particular:
http://www.whiteflash.com/hearts_arrows/A-Cut-Above-H-A-cut-diamond-231170.htm --I''m guessing this stone is eye clean but I haven''t actually asked yet
Some others that jump out at me are
http://www.whiteflash.com/round_ideal_cut/Round-Ideal-Cut-cut-diamond-232071.htm --Slightly better color & clarity for only a little more money, but not ACA
http://www.whiteflash.com/round_ideal_cut/Round-Ideal-Cut-cut-diamond-231197.htm --Same color & clarity as the first (though it LOOKS cleaner in the close-up) for a bit less money, but again not ACA.
What are people''s opinions on these? Will my girlfriend or her friends be able to tell the difference between the 3? I''d love to be able to see all 3 in person but I''m afraid that''s not in the cards.
Thanks in advance for your help!
