Hi all, my bf has given me the honour of choosing my own ring as he knows I'm very particular on the design of the things that I use/wear daily.
I need help to find a cushion cut diamond with the following details:
Cut: As best
Colour: D-H
Carat: 0.9-1.4ct (not really concerned about the weight, but would like to get the biggest measurement possible, preferably >6.2mm)
Clarity: Up to SI1, eye-clean
Budget: US$6,000
I've contacted James Allen as I found a few nice-looking options but even their suggested stones are all not located within their area so they cannot provide me with any ASET images. So disappointed as they can't even check with the suppliers
So far I've not found much options. Just listing 2 here:
1) http://www.briangavindiamonds.com/diamonds/diamond-details/0.905-f-vs1-cushion-diamond-ags-104083556027.... It's nice but then I found out from previous posts here that BG measures their stones diagonally
So I think the stone is much smaller than stated.
2) http://www.goodoldgold.com/ecommerce/1-3-ct-i-vs2-signature-modern-cut-cushion-cushion-diamond.html.... Best one I've found so far. Do you guys think the price is ok for an I colour? I'm also quite concerned with the clarity image - is it visible if seen with naked eyes?
Would be great if I can see more options but preferably those with video and ASET image at the very least.
I don't know if I'm asking for too much for this budget. I love cushion cut diamond but I also love big stones (HAHA). Was thinking if I should explore round cut instead, as it is bigger than cushion for the same carat and have it set on a 4-prong setting to make it look squarish. But I can't stop dreaming about cushion!
Need your expertise guys!
Much thanks!
