My boyfriend and I have been looking for my e-ring for a few months now and we found a stone at the jeweler which is a GIA certified "Cut by Tolkowsky" brand, 1.66 ct / G / VS1. The problem is that it''s $17900 and with the setting, will put us over budget (15-18k).
I found this one at Whiteflash that with the platinum 6-prong Tiffany style setting, will stay within budget:

What do you think? I was wondering if the ideal scope image has too much white around the outside, as I''ve seen other images that were all red/pink around the perimeter. This is alot of money for us, so we are nervous making a purchase like this over the internet. The 1.66 I looked at is beautiful and there is a "comfort factor" involved with going to our local jeweler, but I felt the price was high...and I definitely prefer the size of the 1.83. Any advice?
