Hello everyone,
My gf and I have been reading posts on PS for some time. Here''s our story... We''ve been together for almost 10 yrs and now we are both ready to take our relationship to the next level. She is excited and can''t wait for me to put a sparkling e-ring on her finger. We are planning on spending around $6000 on the diamond. My gf loves both round and cushion cuts and she will be happy with either one as long as it''s cut nicely.
We think we should be able to get a 1.2+ ct, ideal cut, I color, and eye clean rock within our budget. My gf doesn''t mind if the diamond has a little color, but it needs to be clear and clean to her eyes. Of course, we are trying to get as big spread as possible without sacrificing the fire. ;p
We ran some searches today and found this round diamond on WF:

Please let us know what you experts think of this diamond? Is it considered true ideal cut? Should we go for it? Please also feel free to recommend other rounds or cushions you find online. We are not very good with diamond searches... I did try ERD just now and it pop up with over 5000 premium cuts. I had no idea how to narrow down my search result... Oh, forgot to mention we are in NJ, so we have no problem visiting the diamond district in NYC. It seems that several PS vendors are based in NYC.
Anyway, sorry if I asked too many questions. This is going to be our first diamond purchase and it could be frustrating... I''m sure you understand what I mean.
Any input will be appreciated!
Kevin
