I would like to thank everyone for all pf the information that I continue to learn from this site; however, I am very confused and my situation is this....I have truly met the love of my life and looking to finalize the enagement process. I had to put getting engaged off for several months to help my Mom conquer her battle w/small cell lung cancer. She has patiently stood by me and supported me and my family and she is so excited to get engaged...she has a sense that it will happen very soon, but I think I have confused myself into having zero confidence that I am selecting a good stone. I just do not want to arbitralily select a stone because she is that special to me and she deserves my best effort.
My budget is between $6500 - $7500 and I am looking for about a 1.5 carat Princess Cut Stone. On several occassions I thought that I have found a good stone, then I read comments on Fluoresence or Depth and I talk myself out of pulling the trigger. I have confidence in purchasing from all of the merchants that have been referenced in a positive manner on this forum. My issue is that I just don''t completely understand all the variables associated with picking out a quality stone.
If anyone can offer some guidance or suggestions I would be very thankful.
