First of all, I just wanted to say thanks to those who responded to my last post. I feel more confident about diamond buying. Here''s my dilemma:
My boyfriend and I have decided that we will have a budget of about $3500,which includeds the setting. I have decided to get a solitare with the theory of resetting the stone at a later time. I like yellow gold and I expect that the setting will run about $500. That leaves me and my boyfriend with around $3000 for the stone. Here''s my problem, I have very large fingers (size 9). For my budget, I can afford a very nice .75 carat stone that would be AGS 0 or 1 and that is colorless (si 1). I have found stones in that price range at whiteflash, gog, bluenile, and adiamor. I concerned about size. Should I lower the quality of the cut and color for a larger diamond? Would .75 carats look silly on my large fingers? I''m not looking for anything gaudy, but I do want something nice. Thanks in advance for your help.
