Hello all,
My boyfriend and I have been researching engagement ring options. I would prefer he picks the ring out on his own but I am so picky he does not want to take the risk. So we are making the decision together. Anyway, with our given budget, I can either get:
A) Round, 3+ carats, GIA excellent cut, H colour and S1 quality or
B) Round, 2.8- carats, GIA excellent cut, H colour and VS2 quality
Which option would you chose and why? Keep in mind I will not compromise on the clarity or colour!
I have always wanted at least 3 carats. I know 2.8 carats is close to 3 but it is still not 3 (to me). Seems silly
I would also like peoples opinion on buying online vs. using a jeweler when buy a stone around 3 carats. I know there are pros and cons with both but would love others opinions.
Thanks
