I have never bought a diamond and am in the market now. Wow do I appreciate and respect the amount of information you guys know about these subject. I will be brief and to the point:
1. Im in no rush
2. I want a princess cut either alone or with two flanking diamonds
3. I can spend $2000-2200 (including setting)
4. I want a center diamond ~0.69-0.8 cts
5. White gold setting
6. Color G-H
My questions are these:
1. Outside of the stones color for this size what clarity level is ''stone'' appropriate? (silly question?)
2. What elements of the cut should I look for to maximize ''this'' stones effect?
3. Knowing Im using a white gold setting is the H rating and size rating detectable by the novice eye?
4. Lastly, would you recommend pricescopes prices as a trustworthy ''good deal benchmark''?
Thanks so much.
