Hi! I've been a lurker and finally have decided to take the plunge and join to ask a few questions! I love this forum and all the pictures.
I'm looking for my engagement ring because I'm far more particular than my boyfriend, and he's given the go ahead to pick what I like and to tell him. Questions that I would really like your opinions and answers to:
1. I thought I wanted a round brilliant diamond solitaire, but seeing the price differences, would I get more bang for my buck by getting a different cut (such as BGD cushion, heart shape, etc) for a large diamond? I'd ideally like a 2.5-3 carat diamond with a lot of sparkle, but don't want to spend over about $20k. I don't mind sacrificing some of the qualities, but want lots of sparkle. Recommendations on what I can sacrifice?
2. I really love sparkle, I know that round brilliant has the most sparkle. What is next and then some?
3. What are your opinions on rose gold? Strength? I am considering a rose gold solitaire (including prongs) with inlay-ed pink diamonds on the side (only 2 or 3 per side). Similar to the antique one I posted. I'm a redhead with very pale skin.
4. Where do you recommend buying the best price loose diamonds? Is it best to buy local or online? I want to keep with GIA or AGS.
Help please!
