Need help with engagement ring!

[epyfathom]

Hello all!


I am looking to buy an engagement ring that is needed pretty urgently and would appreciate some advice. I am looking for an eye clean 1 ct round ring that is low-cost, yet cut well. What are your thoughts on these?

1) $6,200




2) $6,800



3) $6100




I would appreciate any thoughts. Thanks!!

Hi! The experts are going to ask if you have any videos and pictures... please post if able.

I like the second one. I like the 70% lower girdle facets and the clarity, and I think the fluorescence will be really cool.

Can you put them on hold and provide the links? How soon do you need the ring?

Edit...is this at a Brick and mortar store or on-line?

Will look like an old fashioned or transitional cut. Less brilliance but loads of fire

All of them are combos that with the gia gross rounding you need advanced imaging, IS or ASET to tell anything.

The 2nd one will for some people be over contrasty with reduced brightness.
This is one one of the combos that the quest for wide arrows is counter productive with tradeoffs in other areas of diamond performance.
It depends also on what is in the GIA gross rounding that the actual numbers are for each facet.

I agree. None of these are 'safe', and require advanced images.
