Okay, this is my first post so I hope I do it correctly. I had a gorgeous ring custom designed for my fiance. The center stone was at first a cz just to get the ring on her finger. It is surrounded by amazing G pears and F VVS2 stones and sapphires. It has a halo with F diamonds and 4 AAA sapphires on each corner.
NOW its time for the actual diamond. (I wanted her to help pick.) We do not want one with an yellow tint. It needs to be a 2.0O to 2.20 carat. No more than a D E or F or G color and a VS2 minimum. We want none or faint flouresence. We went to a store and they only brought out three diamonds. One which is a K diamond with very strong flourescence. It showed very beautiful and they said with the strong blue it would appear whiter and it did. NOW that it is set, it is awful and yellow.
What price range and where would we find a good diamond to fit our criteria??? I don''t think we should only see 3 diamonds and have to pick from those. How many diamonds should they bring in for us to look at? What is normal.
Thanks a lot
