Getting close to the time I want to propose. need some help with selecting the right/best diamond for my gf.
She is tiny , just under 5ft and worked in a jewelery store years ago. She has informed me that 1 carat is huge on her tiny fingers and too big for her taste.
Since diamonds under 1 carat are much cheaper , i want to get the best looking possible. This is for her but just as much because I would want to look at her and see it shine everytime.
I am wanting a ACA , but am open to Expert selection if would basically look the same but at a lower cost.
Dont really have a budget, but was looking in the $4800-6500 range. Would consider going up to around $7k if needed, but doesnt seem that way from my searches.
The ACA i wanted got away, . 87, D, VVS2, ACA for $6700.
I have been studying all the ideascopes, aset, and heart pictures. My untrained eye, the only thing i can really see differences on is symmetry .
Here are a few options, I would be really grateful if you could give me your opinions. I know XMas is coming soon, so I am kind of feeling like all the good ones may be picked through soon. I could be wrong. Proposal woudl be around Christmas or New Years.
My searches have been-
.80-.99 Karat
D-G
VVS1 to VS2
Idea cut only
Please let me know if i am missing better options.
#1 ( To me eye this is the most symmetrical and best images)
