Hey all,
I've just started looking at engagement rings and am at the point where I'm getting completely overwhelmed. A local jeweler who I was very impressed with just found this diamond and is having it sent to his store from India. My total budget is about $23,000. This seemed like a great idea at first, but now I'm really having second thoughts if this is a great diamond for me. It's a GIA J/SI1 triple X. He claims that the rep in India says that it's really a beautiful stone, but I'm worried about the tiny knot in it (which he says can be easily "pronged"). Am I stupid for going this low in terms of color to get something in the 2.50ct range, or should I drop down the size to get a little higher quality diamond? Thanks so much for all of your help. This website is a great source of info and I'm hoping that someone can help me out! BTW he's offering this stone on a channel band in platinum w/ approx .40-.50 cts on the band for $23,000.
Thanks so much!
