i heard about this site googling about diamonds and people on this site seem to know what they doing , so thank you all for helping people like me get the ring that they looking for.
so i set my eyes on purchasing from james allen...now i already know the actual setting that my girlfriend wants.
we been together for 11 years. 2 kids... and i know for some that may seem like to long to propose but i think its the right time for me personally and it just feels right... right financially and relationship wise.
setting : https://www.jamesallen.com/engagement-rings/halo/platinum-cushion-outline-pave-engagement-ring-item-49998
now my budget for diamond is $5000 - $7000. she is a 7.5 ring size and am torn between 1.00 and 1.25 round excellent cut.. the reason for the big gap from $5000 - $7000.. i just dont know how much of a big difference will it show on a halo setting...
i been doing my research on diamonds and i have a feeling on how to search ... the trouble am having is deciding carat size...i just want to make the overall best choice with budget and 4 c's.. early in my search for diamonds i was looking at high color and high clarity... which kept me at 1 carat .... learning more about diamonds i realized cut is the most important thing... then carat... then the rest... now here are some diamonds i like and meet certain spots that i have researched..
here are some diamonds in the 1.20-1.25 range that i picked ... now i wouldnt mind going 1.00-1.15 either if the size wont look difference on halo setting, and if i can save a big amount. will the color show alot of yellow or should i push closer to the f-h range?
