This is my first time ever shopping for a engagement ring. I have been browsing these forums over the past two months occasionally, trying to learn a few things about diamonds, but have yet to go ahead and pull the trigger on making a purchase.
1st, I am very budget conscious because of where we are in life (fresh out of college, lots of bills to pay).
I just have no idea though, how a smaller size round cut (about 0.50-0.80) will look on size 6 ring finger.
I''ve drawn up the idea that the ideal diamond for her would be in the above carat range, with a F-I Color, VVS2- SI1 Clarity and a price range of around $1200-$2200 for the diamond.
I''ve recently seen this one and thought it seemed nice: round cut diamond
The problem is, I don''t really have a clue what
A: the difference is between a "Signature Ideal" and an "Ideal" cut is.
B: How big of a role does the girdle thickness play in my purchase of a ring?
C: Is there a range of depth that my diamond should maintain to fit into a round-cut Pave setting (ex. Pave Round Setting) ?
and finally D: How safe is ordering from places like Whiteflash/Bluenile/JamesAllen etc., if something goes wrong with the ring, will they help me or should I simply take it to a local jeweler?
In the end, I just want to make the right decisions when choosing the ring for the one girl that I want to spend the rest of my life with.
