Hello all!
I am shopping for an engagement ring for my girlfriend, and would like a little advice. I realise that this is not an easy choice, so have done some research. I have a modest budget of £2000/$3000. I would like to focus more on the diamond, as I can have it put into a nicer setting for a future anniversary.
I want to take her to NY for her birthday (we are in London), and proposing then; but this depends on whether the exchange rate would work in my favour. I would think that this means I can get more ring for my money.
The diamonds I have been looking at are:
1/2 to 3/4 carat range, RB cut (although I really like the Leo cut)
H/G colour
Very Good/Ideal cut
VS1 - VS2 clarity
and a Platinum solitaire setting. This has been coming out at more than my budget, and would mean that I cannot afford NY
Can anyone advise on where I can buy from in NY, and if this would enable me to buy a better ring?
Thanks!
Chris
