Dear PriceScope Community,
I am trying to create a wonderful engagement ring. Unfortunately, for a number of reasons, I need to have it before Xmas.
My budget is 50-65k Eur. I have tried educating myself on this forum and elsewhere, but I feel that I would greatly benefit from the help of more experienced users.
I am very open minded about the final result. My only red line is that the stone cannot be a marquise cut.
I was initially drawn to a pear shaped stone mounted on a setting of this nature

With regard to the stone itself, two have caught my eye thus far:

and
GIA 6211133990 (https://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/pear-shaped/2.72-carat-d-color-if-clarity-sku-917012)
However, I have many questions. Is focusing on IF and FL, D coloured stones "overkill"?
Should I be looking into something completely different in light of my fairly large budged?
All views and advice greatly appreciated.
