Hello Pricescope,
I am looking to propose to my gf within the next 6 months and have begun the daunting task of finding a diamond and setting that will adequately express my love despite my meager budget. I have scoured the internet for any scraps of diamond wisdom that I could manage devour. Based on my research and input from my lady, I've narrowed down what I am looking for to a .5 - .75 carat HnA round brilliant F VS2-SI1 diamond. I calculated that if I eat top ramen and drink tap water for the next year, I can scrounge up ~4,000 dollars of loan money (diamond and setting included). Would you kind and knowledgeable members of Pricescope help me in my endeavor?
I have found a few diamonds that caught my eye. Unfortunately, while I can name the vast majority of nerves, muscles, and blood vessels in the body, I am paralyzed with uncertainty when it comes to choosing diamonds.
Here are the links to a few diamonds that I have bookmarked:

From the forums, GOG and whiteflash seem to be pricescope favorites. I like the fact that I can see the AGS reports and have pictures of the hearts and arrows to analyze. However, if there are even better vendors, please PLEASE direct me in the right direction.
I look forward to reading your responses.
