Newbie here with a lot of questions,
I have about $24k to spend on a diamond for an engagement ring. I've been trying to learn as much as I can from online resources, and I think my preferred seller would be WF. What I'm looking for is something around 1.8-1.9 carat, round, G-H color, VS1-VS2 clarity, and because of the glowing reviews, a Whiteflash ACA cut. Does this sound reasonable? I noticed on the Whiteflash web site that there aren't any Whiteflash ACA diamonds in the 1.8-2.0 carat range.
I have seen something similar to the above in a Blue Nile Signature. If they have what I want, and Whiteflash doesn't, is there any strong reason not to buy from them?
My fiance has said she would like this setting: http://www.ritani.com/diamond_engagement_rings/item/814 Is it best to buy the diamond loose, and then find a local retailer who can get this setting and mount the stone in it?
Thanks
