I''ve seen people say that you can get an engagement ring at other places that would be better or equal for less. Can you guys point me to where and what to look for. my price range is 3-4k.
 
What is your definition of "better"? Whiteflash and Good Old Gold would be my starting places for beautiful stones with much better prices.

What are you looking for specifically, a round diamond? Tiffany style solitaire setting?

We should also clarify that not **all** the diamonds on these websites are nice, so it''s prudent to do your research here on PS first, then reserve a stone you like, and then post for us to help you select to make sure it''s a great cut, which is what is going to make it outshine a diamond from Tiff''s.

Yes indeed, diamond cut qualities are not created equal!
 
I vote for an ACA from whiteflash in one of their settings.
 
I'm looking for a princess possibly. she definitely does not like round. and i'm thinking i might go with solitaire but i'm not stuck on it and she doesn't care.
 
You''ve already received some great links on places to get well-cut diamonds. For settings, I think leon mege (artofplatinum.com) and mark morell are the best!
 
For ideal cut princess cut stones, I''d shop at Good Old Gold, WhiteFlash, and Winfield''s (Infinity). Since she doesn''t care, I''d definitely put all the money in the stone and get a solitaire setting. She can always choose a different setting in the future if she finds something else that she loves. We girls are known for changing our minds.

DOes she know that a princess cut diamond will not sparkle like a round one will?

It will sparkle like a Princess, and that is different than a round, as it should be. A well cut princess is a thing of beauty and plenty of sparkle, but it is not the same as a round, nor should it be.

Viva la difference!

what do you guys think about this. it was said that a princess will not sparkle as well as a round. what about this jubilee?http://www.goodoldgold.com/diamond/3257/

Please don''t be scared away by that comment. Princesses do sparkle (A LOT if it is well cut)... They just have a different look than rounds. I have a princess and it never fails to perform!

i too am looking at princess cut due to the GF not liking rounds.

I liked the tiffany's also but the prices are nutty. though i did offer the gf if she wanted to elope i'd buy it for her and we'd head for vegas! lol she rather have something from an online vendor thats bigger anyways.

ACA WF's.. do they have any bad cuts in the bunch?
 
That Jubilee is a beauty. Just make sure it is actually eye clean. Hard to tell in the video.

No such thing as a poorly cut ACA!
 
do you see any 1.5 range ACA princess cuts on WF site? the search doesnt work for me unless they just don''t have any.

i''ve finally decided on a setting just got to find the diamond. :-)


sorry if i''m hijacking the thread.. just been bashing my brain to find the right diamond! lol
 
You might want to get a Whiteflash ACA princess, of the highest clarity and color your budget allows, in the simplest setting of the metal of your choice.

If you go to Whitflash.com and look for ACA princess, you can plug in the different clarity and color choices- and that will lead you to different prices.

I think I'd get H VS2 in platinum, but that's only me.

Good luck in whatever you decide!
