I''ve been lurking around this forum for about 3 months and I''ve spent more time planning and not enough acting, and now it''s time for me to start my search.
I''m looking for a .9 - 1 carat round diamond. I''m thinking an E-F color and probably a VS1 (As long as you can''t see inclusions) I''m willing to go higher on the color and up to VVS1 if it''s worth it. (If it''s not colorless to her or flawless to her I''m gonna have to upgrade her probably.)
I''m not too good at judging cuts, but I''m looking to purchase online as I''ve read many good experiences.
I also want to get a Tiffany-like white gold setting.
Let me understand the process:
1. I need to find the right stone and work with the dealer to send it to me (request a refund if local appraisal is not accurate)
2. Find a local appraiser and ensure that the stone is truly what''s reported and looks good!
3. If the dealer doesn''t have the setting I want, I should purchase it separately
4. I need to find a local jeweler that can put the diamond onto the setting.
5. I''m done!
I''m getting nervous already, I don''t even know her ring size!
Please help!
