Hi there,
I've been reading so much on this forum - there so much good information - I was hoping I could tap into some of it and ask your advice on the ring I'm planning to purchase for my future fiancee.
We've previously done some ring shopping together, and she has fallen in love with the Soleste by Tiffany (http://d.pr/TYLS). I was hoping to get something equally as nice, but at a price point I can afford. I had found this ring setting (http://d.pr/nzH9) by James Allen which I think is quite close. Just hoping it's as nice as the Tiffany equivalent.
In terms of the diamond, she looked fantastic with a 1.3ct size. I had wanted to get a modern (lots of small facets/sparkles) cut, and as clear, bright, and sparkly as possible.
My biggest concern is.... If a diamond is to be set in the ring I have chosen, is it overkill going for a grade F/VVS2 and above? Will the sparkles be that much different than if I lowered that slightly to decrease the cost? If anyone would be so kind as to help me select a diamond they think would be amazing, that would be ever so helpful.
Also, it would be great to get the opinions you might have on the JA ring I selected too. If you think that is a nice replica?
I'm trying to keep the budget for the combo around $12,000. The ring is $4,200, whcih means the diamond will be around $8000. I'd be willing to go higher if you really think it is worth the payoff for sure. I guess I'm just really super indecisive, and would love to hear from someone who really knows their stuff.
Thanks so much in advance.
Glen
