Hi guys,
The time to get engaged has arrived! My man and I went to a local chain store yesterday where I found a setting I really love. picture attached.
I've previously suggested buying a diamond online to save on tax, because prices are better, and because I am less interested in "flawless" quality than I am on size/color. Therefore, I don't think I could discern the difference between several diamonds side by side, and don't think I need to 'see' a diamond to love it. I'd rather feel that I got a good deal (or at least a fair deal). I like warmer colors and I am looking in the K/L color range. My eyes are a little bad- so imperfections are less noticeable to me.
I thought I had BF convinced, until we walked into the store, and they started pulling diamonds out to look at! I just wanted to examine size and evaluate what they would look like in the setting...but BF started evaluating them to buy. He decided it would be easier to just get it all in one purchase, and the warranty from the store would cover the center stone.
Last night we discussed and he told me to find 1 or 2 diamonds online that fit my needs, and we can see if the chain store will price match.
The diamond he liked in the store is Emerald Cut 1.52 ct / L color / VS2 for $5,990. I THINK YOU GUYS CAN DO BETTER!
Will you guys send me some Emerald Cut diamonds that you suggest instead? I've been on James Allen but I don't really know how to read the stats like you do. You can better determine if a diamond spread or face up is bigger than another.
We are going back to the store this evening, they are going to present us with a few more diamond options. I'd like to find something online.
