Hi all...
Love the board, sometimes I just read for hours.... But I''ve got a dillemma on my hands (ha ha - no pun intended).... A good dilemma, though and I need all the help I can get here.
My diamond-loving DH is going to buy me another diamond ring (I already have a 1.57 E VS2 engagment round and a 3.10 E SI2 pear(- for my 5 year ) but he knows I love diamonds and wants to get me another one (we''ll be married 10 years next October and I just gave birth to our first daughter 4 months ago).....Anyhoo that is my story, I need some opinions, photos and help here....
I want an awesome ring. I know everyone has tastes, but I really want a ring with size, brilliance and fire. My DH asked what stone has the best brilliance and I said of course a round, but what would be the next best thing (since I have a round)...
Here''s what I have in mind...
4-5 carats
D-F coloring
no lower that SI 1
No flourescence
and perfect (either ideal, hearts and arrows, etc) proportions...
GIA certified
My DH is willing to shell out ALOT, I know it will cost alot with our wish list above, but I need your help finding me a stone.
I love the jubilee and the regents I''ve read about, I love high set settings to show off the stone.... I love pears as side stones, maybe hearts (love them too)...
Any advice here...
Where should I start. Any and all advice needed. Since this is going to be a major, major investment, I really want something with bling. Both my other rings have wonderful fire and brilliance, and I definatley want that.....I don''t care for marquis, but I''m open to look at all others).....
...or should I just get another big round since I love the fire, with a neat setting (my round is set as a solitare in gold so something different) I''m in the platnium mood now.... I love three stone rings,
What do you all think....
Can you help me finding a "on-fire" brilliant stone with those specs...
Also, since we''ll be spending so much, should we buy online?
Thanks so much ya''ll.....
