Hi
I''ve been a lurker on here for over a year and now I am incredibly close to getting the ring I want for my precious lady. Like many pricescope has opened my eyes in regards to trying to buy diamonds. At first I thought that the mall stores were simply trying to hustle me, but after talking with them it becomes painfully obvious that most simply have no clue what they are talking about. I really want to give her at least a carat but that is more my own mental hangup than anything she doesn''t care.
My goal for this ring is to give my SO a beautiful and unique ring. Now the dilemma. I am buying a Gelin Abaci tension setting this is the only true constant the setting is about 3k of my total 5-6.5k budget.
The diamonds I am looking at are ideally .75-1 carat round VS1-SI1, D-I ideal cut maybe Hearts and Arrows. The smaller i go on stone size the more I want it to perform.
Conversely what I am really leaning toward is a fancy vivid blue diamond from .61-.8 carats SI1. What scares me here is in the tension set, will a good cut and symmetry look uneven in the tension set. I can''t afford the larger man made stone.
but it''s beauty and uniqueness will hopefully blow her away.
Please give me some advice to help me along the path of making a beautiful ering.
