Hello everyone,
I''m 22 and have beeen dating my girlfriend for about 6 years and were ready to get married but I''m having a hard time picking out the perfect ring for her. I''ve been doing a lot of shopping and looking around trying to learn as much as possible because I dont know a lot about diamonds or jewelry.
I''ve decided to get a three stone ring with round diamonds and total carat weight somewhere between 1.75 and 2.0. I would prefer to have the middle stone be about 1 carat but only if I can afford it. I want to spend somewhere around $7,000. Im not sure what color and clarity to go with. A lot of the diamonds that Ive seen in stores are H color and S1 clarity, but I was thinking about going with something a little higher like G and VS12 or VS1.
...I have a lot of questions and would appreciate the advice of anyone who knows about diamonds or has bought some themselves.
I talked with a salesman at Kay and he had a LEO diamond 1.8 total carat weight selling for 7500, is that a good ring or a good deal? Zales offered something similiar.
If I''m going to spend $7500ish what carat, color, clarity should I be expecting? What is the deal with facets? What is the most important to spend money on?
Thanks for your help.
Mike
