Hello, I have been annoyingly bouncing on and off of Pricescope for a couple of months now. I have not been able to consistent with my research and actual search for the engagement ring.
After talking with my girlfriend to make sure she gets what she wants, We have decided that we're going with a cushion yellow diamond as the center stone (modified or square). A long confusing journey led to this decision.
My budget is $7000-8000.
I was thinking of delegating my budget: $5000 for the stone, $2000 on the setting.
Or maybe even spending more on the stone and less on the setting.
To get to the point. I have been searching on Diamonds by Lauren, and Leibish.
Here are the specs for a diamond that I think would be ok. But I need opinions from people more knowledgeable.
Diamond Weight: 1.06 Carat
Diamond Color: Fancy Yellow
Diamond Shape: Cushion
Diamond Clarity:IF
Diamond Measurements: 5.96x5.34x3.68
Diamond Total Depth: 68.9%
Diamond Intensity: Fancy Yellow

I have also checked buydiamondsdirect but they don't seem to have images of the diamonds which makes me a little wary. I don't know much about specs just to go off of that. But they do have a 10 day return policy.
