Hello diamond lovers!
I have spent many hours on pricescope learning all about diamonds over the past month or so. I have decided on a setting shown here that I am going to have a rock set into for my future fiance!
https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/172...yl-engagement-ring-in?ref=shop_home_active_14
The setting will be in 18K yellow gold and I am looking for approx a 1+ carat diamond that falls into my budget of about $4K USD for the diamond.
I am looking for a good size to compliment the chunky setting and I am willing to sacrifice a bit on color to stay in my budget and since it will be set in yellow gold anyways. I have used Ritani, to search for loose diamonds ( mainly because it is easy to search on my phone etc) and have come up with a few good diamonds that i would like some opinions on. Is there any that you would not recommend right off the bat? Should i be using Ritani as a trusted dealer? Am i even close to something that will sparkle nicely?! I have entered them all into HCA and they all score below 2 - just to eliminate the "bad seeds". Once i get a response on here i will request actual photos/videos.
Is K going to be too yellow should I go down in size and look at I or J? What about all this BLUE florescence? Do I want that in a yellow gold setting?? I do want it to be somewhat white and without noticeable inclusions from a normal persons eye.
