Need Advice for Engagement Ring

[fyh2004]

I've decided to propose to my girlfriend in about 2 weeks time and I've been reading all about Diamonds on pricescope and elsewhere to learn as much as I can so that I can make an informed choice. I've narrowed my selections to the below and want to solicit some opinions from more experienced members here on the board before I make my final decision since comparatively speaking, I'm still rather new to this whole diamond thing. Also has anyone purchased or can give me a review as to the quality of the Whiteflash and Brian Gavin Tiffany Classic Knife Edge Setting? Also does anyone here know if a pricescope discount is applicable to Whiteflash or Brian Gavin Diamonds?

Hi fyh2004

First of all, I don't think your FF could be anything but WOWED by any of these choices!! You have done a really good job!! All things considered, I would probably go with the ACA, simply because it's $3K less, and I really don't think you'd be able to tell a difference in size if it were sitting next to the other two.

If you ended up deciding to go with BG for the setting (my favorite version is the "Tiffany Half Round", as opposed to the regular knife edge). Of the two BG stones, I'd get the VS2, simply because it's cleaner and VERY close to the same price as the SI. They are all very similar and all very nice -- seriously, I don't think you can go wrong here.
