Hi there,
I'm tossing up between two engagement ring settings at two different stores, who have access to two different diamonds (and both stores will only set with their diamonds). I love one of the two more than the other, but the setting that I love has the following diamond specs:
Shape: Round Brilliant
Measurements: 7.21 - 7.24 X 4.63
Carat Weight: 1.51 carats
Colour Grade: F
Clarity Grade: SI1
Cut Grade: Very Good
Polish: Excellent
Symmetry: Excellent
Fluorescence: None
Table: 56% Depth: 64.1% Girdle: Slightly Thick - Thick
Crown - 36.5 degrees Pavillion: 41%
The store with the better setting only has diamonds that are smaller (1.2/ 1.3 cts) or a higher clarity (which I cant afford) to choose from.
My other option is to choose my second favourite setting, with a diamond with a triple excellent score, and a larger diamond at that at 1.67cts.
So, the question is, should I go for the setting that I love more knowing that the diamond isn't as good? Or the better diamond and a plainer setting...
Thoughts? Wish I didn't have a budget to work to, but don't we all!!!!
