Hello! I'm new here and only know the very basics about diamonds. I was hoping you all could help me make a decision between 3 diamond rings my BF and I are looking at at Tiffany's. And yes, I know we could get much more diamond for our money elsewhere, but we're both totally in love with the Tiffany Embrace setting.
Anyway, here are our options on three Tiffany Embrace rings: (oh, and all three have .22 carat of halo diamonds surrounding the center stone)
1. .81 carat H IF for $11,100
2. .81 carat G VS1 for $10,000
3. .91 carat H VVS2 for $12,500
I'm personally leaning toward #2 because when I put #1 & #2 next to each other, #1 actually looked much darker to the eye. The less expensive diamond just looked SO much better visually... And when you compare the .81 and the .91 ring you really cannot tell the difference in size. I mean, you really had to look carefully to see the difference.
I was kind of disappointed that there were not more options in our price range, even at other stores. I was really hoping to get closer to a carat, but looks like that is not possible even though the website says this ring in a carat starts at $11,100.
Opinions? Thoughts?
