Picking an engagement ring

[vashwood]

Hey Guys,
I just started looking for an engagement ring. My budget is around $4000 - $4500 (including setting), maybe a little higher. Let''s see, on the top of my list I''d want my cut to be ideal. I really want nice brilliance and fire. Then, for color I would go as low as G and clarity as slow as SI1.

Right now I''ve just been looking on WF because I want the Legato setting

This is the only diamond I could find on whiteflash, with a HCA rating of 2.2.

Are there any better diamonds you would recommend getting even at other sites if they also have settings that''s similar to the Legato?

Thanks

Another question. What exactly is ''a cut about H&A''? I just came across this diamond

Ok. I ended up ordering this diamond along with the Legato Sleek Lines.

Now that was impressive. In less than twenty four hours, picks up a lovely 6 mm stone in a gorgeous setting for his lady, and right in budget.

Looks like you used the resources on here, did your research and hit a home run. Congrats to you! Please post pics when you have them!

Oh, she will.

Good job, on the stone AND the setting.
