Hi Psers,
My friend is ready to pop the question! He has a picture of the ring that she saved and would like to have something like it.
He would like a diamond instead of the morganite shown. He would like it to look pretty big on her 4.5 finger but would like to keep it under 4 grand.
Ideally, he'd like an old cut stone in a deeper color (similar to the shade of the morganite) so it looks vintage (They are both avid antique-ers) but cushion shaped. I told him it would be a bit easier to find a round and he's open to it but we are both hoping that he'll be able to find a cushion. He doesn't care if its newly cut or previously owned. He is also fine with modern cushion cuts with a deeper color
I am also going to refer him to David Klass for the setting unless anyone else knows a reputable jeweler that can do great work for a bit less. He would also prefer to pay with financing.
If anyone has a stone they'd like to sell or know anyone with one, or even where to find one for a decent price, please help us out. How deep in color should he go? Is 1 carat going to look big enough on her finger? I suggested a halo at some point but he's afraid she will not like it.
Thanks so much in advance
