I'm currently looking to purchase a cushion cut engagement ring for my girlfriend. She would really like something similar to the Harry Winston Micropave as she really likes the more dainty, feminine look of the ring.
I've been looking online and it's quite daunting to say the least. I've never made an online purchase of this magnitude or importance so I want to make sure that I'm happy and she's happy when all is said and done .....mostly she
With that said, I'm really glad that I've found this site!
I'm wanting the center stone to be around 1 carat. Larger would be nice but looking around I'd probably be in tough to find a bigger stone within my budget. i'd also like the stone to have no visible inclusions when looking at it from the above. G/H color should be good as I hear that there isn't much difference between D-H. I guess I'd just like it to sparkle as much as possible! I hear there are different types of cushions and I'm hoping some of you could help me figure out which one would be the best choice for what I'm looking for. For the setting I'd prefer white gold or platinum. My budget is $7000 (preferably slightly under) including the setting.
I've been in contact with a dealer who has a ring in stock that basically matches exactly what I'm looking for. The only issue I see is that it's an SI2 center stone. He has however assured me that it is eye clear. I guess I would just like to know if there is anything else I should ask him before committing to make the purchase? This dealer does provide a 7 day satisfaction guarantee so returning is an option but this is something I would prefer to avoid if at all possible. 7 days does not give me much time either!
Here is the link to the ring that I'm currently considering, any feedback?

Very interested in hearing other suggestions though. I obviously need some guidance here! Thanks very much in advance!
