Hello,
My partner and I are engagement ring shopping. We are both very new to the world of jewelry and diamonds, but have been trying to research as much as possible and this website has been incredibly helpful.
Here are our criteria:
Shape: Round
Carat: 1.4 - 1.6
Clarity: VS2 + [I am a “mind clean” type of person]
Color: H + [I am pretty color sensitive]
Lab: GIA/AGS
Fluorescence: None/Faint
Cut: All of the typical PS criteria for a perfect stone
Price: $13,000 [For diamond only, something slightly above is ok]
It terms of importance to us: Cut [60% of decision], followed by carat [20%], clarity [10%] and color [10%]
My partner isn’t very comfortable buying a diamond online, I had to talk him into it and this community helped me with that. That being said, he would prefer to purchase from James Allen. But if the perfect stone is elsewhere, I may be able to convince him as long as the website is very reputable. Other potentially helpful facts: We have no plan to ever upgrade the diamond and we will be having the setting custom made by a local jeweler. A very simple, six prong cathedral in rose gold.
Here are 3 stones I have found that I would love feedback on, as I still feel very new to this world.
James Allen Option 1:
https://www.jamesallen.com/loose-di...-color-vvs2-clarity-excellent-cut-sku-5517329

**I've requested an Idealscope for this but they said that would be impossible because it is "overseas". Does this remove this from consideration?
