Hello everyone - first off, I have read through a lot of the posts on this site and thanks for all your info! I fear I may be repeating a question from the past but here goes (first time buyer and most expensive thing I''ve ever bought so I''m a bit nervous
):
Want to spend: approx. $5500 cdn for band and diamond
Want to get: Closest replica of Tiffany''s Lucida engagement ring possible.
"Dream": approx. 1ct diamond in platinum setting (willing to slide on this)
1) I live in Toronto Ontario and was wondering what is the best place (ie. price, quality, security) to purchase a diamond - and ulitimately the band too. I ask because I have read ''online'' is the best, but most sites are USD and the $ exchange and duties may raise the price.
2) I have ruled out the princess cut and am looking at radiant (only because I find it difficult to find Flanders, etc. and think they are more expensive anyway - are they?). I have considered the Asscher but find it too similar to an emerald (too elegant for our tastes).
Given what I want to get and spend, is it possible to get a good quality diamond in this range? Will I be able to get a very similar look to Tiffany''s Lucida with a radiant diamond? If no, what can I expect to get for this range?
Thanks.
