Engagement ring - which option?

I would--and did--go for the G SI1. Make sure it is graded AGS 0 or GIA Excellent. You will be wanting the best cut stone you can find. It is the cut that will make the ring sparkle like a disco ball

I'll be getting it certified by GIA.
"The GIA cut grade system includes ratings of Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair and Poor" - thanks, so if I only get an excellent one, does any of the above have an effect on the value? I presume most people would want to get an excellent one?

Well I've paid for it now. Went for a 3-stone princess, 1c (tw), G, VS2, excellent cut. The manager has the spec and will now find the diamonds and give me the spec of each diamond to approve. Can't wait!

Who did you choose to purchase from?

Looking very forward to more info and pics!

I would go for the 1.0 ''G'' colored diamond b/c I like warmer looking diamonds, but if your bride-to-be prefers hers to look icy white, then choose the other one.

this would be my choice as well.
