I have been researching these forums for awhile now and have learned a lot. But now the time has come to actually find THE diamond and buy it. This is for a solitaire engagement ring. We have went to the local chain jewelers and I have a pretty good idea of what I am looking for.
I want a princess cut, and the two major criteria are:
1.) It needs to have the WOW sparkle and fire when you look at it. I am more concerned with that than anything on paper. As long as it looks good to the unaided eye it will work.
2.) Size is between 1.0 to 1.2 carats.
I have been looking for an eye clean SI1 and a color of G or F. If I am going the wrong direction or should go lower or higher in one of those categories please let me know.
It will go on a solitaire cathedral setting in white gold or platinum. Budget is between $4500 and $5500 for the diamond. Thanks for any help or guidance given out.
