New to the forum and have been overwhelmed with all the great information this site has to offer. I plan on popping the question in 2020 to my GF but have a few questions about the diamond buying process. After some sly conversations, I know she's looking for at least a 2 carat round diamond in a gold solitaire setting
I've read and read and read and think when I'm searching I should be looking at the following info:
- Carat: > 2
- Color: >H
- Clarity: > SI1
- Cut: Excellent / Ideal
- Florence: Min / None
More Questions:
- Is there any additional value of Blue Niles "Astro Ideal" or James Allen's "True Hearts" Cuts? Or are these just a marketing trick to spend more?
- How do I get the most bang for my buck?
- Has anyone used the Diamond Screener? Is it worth it?
- My budget is ~$20-$25K, is that enough or do I need to save more?
- Any other tips?
