Thoughts and opinions despearately needed

Yes I''m back,


I bought a ring today and then had horrible buyers remorse, so I called the jeweler and got all the same BS. They will waive the setting fee of $285 and find a stone of the same size but higher color and clarity for the same price.

The Stone:
Total price $4100 for the stone, total for the ring after taxes and everything $5300, the extra off puts it at $5000 total
.751 Round Brilliant Peerless
AGS 000
Polish ID and Symmetry ID
H
VS2
Table 54.2
Depth 62
Brillaincescope Very High on all 3
Culet Pointed
Pavilion angle 40.3
Crown angle 34.4
Crown 15.7
Pavilion 43

I ran it through the cut advisor and it was excellent across the board with a very good on spread
1.0 on cut advisor


Here is the 2nd stone I am looking at:
0.827 ct G VS2 A Cut Above H&A
$3,897.00 Item Available - Ready to ship



Item Code: AGS-8509301
. Report: AGS
. Shape: A Cut Above H&A
. Carat: 0.827
. Depth %: 61.8
. Table %: 57
. Crown Angle: 34.7
. Crown %: 14.9
. Star : 51
. Pavilion Angle: 40.7
. Pavilion %: 42.9
. Lower Girdle %: 76
. Girdle: Thin to Slightly Thick Faceted
. Measurements: 5.97-6.01X3.70
. Light Performance: 0
. Polish: Ideal
. Symmetry: Ideal
. Culet: Pointed
. Fluorescence: Negligible
1.2 on Cut advisor


total price with the heavy tiffany setting $4500



Problems in this equation
1. I am a guy
2. The jewler offers 12 months sac
3. Will anyone be able to tell a difference in these 2 stones?
4. If I buy off the internet, I will have to pay for resizing and maintenance


Thank you very much for helping me,
My girlfriend will very much appreciate it

Obviously, the bigger, cheaper, higher color stone........?
1. Don''t get the heavy Tiffany. Get the Tiffany repro or the regular, light Tiffany and she can pick w/e she wants later.
2. sac?
3. you will
4. $500 worth of maintenence?

I agree with Julie completely. You won''t need $500 worth of maintenance as long as the ring is made correctly!

The answer is obvious to me!
