For those of you that read my recent posts you know that I have fallen in love with a setting at Blue Nile and would really like to find a great princess diamond there for it... unfortunately, I have not had much luck finding one and am looking for other alternatives. We are ready to make our purchase and after months of saving we don''t want to wait around much longer for BN to get in more diamonds. My new solution is two-fold, first I am considering a round diamond instead of the princess since BN offers a bigger selection of AGS round diamonds, second I am considering going with the original setting with a round diamond OR possibly a second choice setting (which I also loved but eliminated because I was going with a princess and it is for a round diamond... it is also a little cheaper). First, I was hoping you could all take a look at the following round diamonds and tell me which you think is best, I have been mainly researching princess diamonds so I know very little about round diamonds.
Choice 1: http://www.bluenile.com/diamonds_details.asp?__fun_frm=i&pid=LD01014002&filter_id=1
Choice 2: http://www.bluenile.com/diamonds_details.asp?__fun_frm=i&pid=LD01022372&filter_id=1
Choice 3: http://www.bluenile.com/diamonds_details.asp?__fun_frm=i&pid=LD00973060&filter_id=1
Choice 4: http://www.bluenile.com/diamonds_details.asp?__fun_frm=i&pid=LD00998025&filter_id=1
Choice 5: http://www.bluenile.com/diamonds_details.asp?__fun_frm=i&pid=LD01013697&filter_id=1
Next, I would really appreciate your input on my setting. If I decide to go with one of these round diamonds would you suggest sticking with my first setting or going with the second setting? Which do you prefer?
First setting: http://www.bluenile.com/product_details.asp?oid=6219&page=1&show_all_pages=1&filter_id=1&col=1&row=17&pos=49&set_shape=
Second setting: http://www.bluenile.com/product_details.asp?oid=6711&page=1&show_all_pages=1&filter_id=1&col=2&row=15&pos=44&set_shape=
(Does anyone know of any actual ring pictures that have a similar setting, I would love to see something similar in a hand shot)
Finally, as I said I don''t know much about round diamonds... what does it mean when it says "faceted" next to the girdle size and is that prefered or bad? Also is a pointed or a very small cutlet OK or should I avoid that. Once again, I can''t thank you all enough for your help and opinions.
Hoping for success this time around,
