Hello everyone!
I''m new to this forum and I''ve been lurking for the past several days. I''ve been trying to look for my engagement ring (yes, my fiance delegated the task to me) and I only have about a week till my engagement party. Eeeeeeeeek!
I know it sounds crazy that we already set the engagement party, but my mom insisted on doing it soon because she''s leaving soon and wants the party to happen before she leaves. So now I''m in the crazy spot of trying to find a perfect diamond.
I''ve decided I want a round diamond, between 1.5 and 2 ct, G color, VS2, with the best cut possible. I''m trying to stay below $12,000 and I''m considering delving into H. I''ve played around with the Holloway Cut Adviser and fear that its only added to my frustration.
So far I''ve found 3 rings that I''d like to get opinions on. Please be as brutally honest as possible. Also, any other diamond suggestions would be greatly welcomed!
