So glad I found this forum as all the information has been so helpful so far. I just recently started looking at engagement rings and the only place I knew to look was Blue Nile, but it looks like the majority of people suggest other online retailers. I still have a few other questions as I continue to research.
Background:
Looking to get a round diamond and spending $15Kish. The setting can be simple, so I am more just concerned with getting the best cut and a diamond as big as the budget will allow.
I've been looking at the Hearts and Arrows cuts as that seems to be the best. What I am still uncertain about is how low on the color scale is acceptable. How low would you go on color before it starts to become noticeable?
Also on many of the diamonds that are AGS 0 Ideal, when they show pictures of the different light performances, you can see that many times not all sides look the same. Is that any indication on a decrease in sparkle? Thanks. Any advice/opinions would be much appreciated.
