Hey all,
I need some serious help! I''ve been over-analyzing this engagement ring purchase for a long time now. I still don''t know what to get. I think I know what setting I want, I just can''t seem to decide on the center diamond.
My goal is to maximize sparkle, but I don''t want to spend more than $4K for the diamond. I still haven''t decided if I NEED an "H&A" marketed diamond, or if I can get away with a GIA EX/EX with an HCA score of less than 2 but maybe not advertised as truly "H&A". That said, I''m looking for a G, VS2-SI1 (has to be eyeclean), .85-.95ct diamond.
Would this be a good performer? Could someone help me out with analyzing the idealscope image? Can I do better?
