Hi Everyone,
I have been doing alot of research and think i have finally narrowed down some options in my budget. I would love some opinions on the diamonds I have picked out below.
Background Info
Price: Looking to spend no more than $8000 total
Diamond - Looking in the range of $6500-$7500
Setting - She wants a simple solitaire setting so i don't expect to pay more than $400-600 on that part.
My GF wants a yellow gold setting so i believe i can get away with a lower color grade diamond in order to get a slightly bigger diamond. I hear you could go as low as K color but i was nervous to go lower than J. I'm not the best at fully understanding the Idealscope images and what to look for.
I am choosing between ACA from WhiteFlash and True Hearts by James Allen as I think they are the best bang for the buck and have good return policies.
