Ok, well I have been reading about diamonds for a few months now, and I just wish it were easier to get engaged haha. I live in NYC, so the diamond district is right around the corner from me, but I don''t TRUST anyone there, seems like you are prey when you walk into one of those placed.
I read about the 4 C''s multiple times, and tried to talk to a bunch of people, and everyone has an opinion.....you know how the saying goes.....some say make sure you have a perfect cut and no fluorescence and go with a smaller size, some say make sure the clarity is at least a VS1 and don''t worry about the fluorescence.....at this point I am just frustrated.
Also heard that big is not good for a smaller person, my gf is about 5"3 100lbs and her ring size is 4.5, so she is small, so should I get 1.5ct? or is that too big already? I see some people at work who have stones that look like they are 2ct, but when I ask they are only like 1.4ct, I read that a premium cut will look bigger, maybe thats what it is.....
So with trying to keep total budget at 10k......
This is what I am looking at......

One more thing I am confused about, does it matter what type of certification it is? is GIA the better one? Bluenile seems to have all GIA, and I like that you can see them and return things no matter what in 30 days. How is Abazias? I read they give you 10 days to return.
I know how it is trying to explain to a n00b, so thanks in advance for taking the time.
