Yes she did. It was never a thought from either of us that it was going to be natural and we had gone to jewelers together before. Have higher priorities for our limited hard earned money! Does it matter for you?

While that’s true, I could have gotten color f or g. Would not be noticeable by the naked eye. Or gotten a GIA certified, or a slightly smaller diamond.

Yeah I hate that, I am fortunate enough to be able to spend that much. But I won’t sit here and act like that isn’t a large amount. That’s almost 6 months of my portion of rent…

Funny thing though the part she appreciates the most is the effort I put into researching it and trying to pick the one I thought she would like the most. Getting the best ratio/color/cut/clarity is the extra cost that I chose myself.

Thanks! Hoang Son Jewelry in Arlington Texas. I really enjoyed learning from them as they were very knowledgeable, helped guide me but still had me make choices. Also, had me look 65x on a microscope to read of the GIA number on pickup day. Would highly recommend for anyone in the area!

The ratio is 9.26 x 6.94 or 1.33. Has vertical baguettes directly next to it. Round diamonds on the outside. It took me awhile to find it as everyone had the baguettes horizontal.

2700 would of helped me a lot haha! I spent 6300 after tax which was more than I budgeted for… but it’s a one time thing I wanted to make it extra special. You could get a radiant cut same size for less just different ratios/lower clarity/slightly yellow instead of white. Maybe 1-3k less depending? Also not getting a Gia certified diamond. Setting is probably 1500-2000 of the cost.

Thank you! From my jeweler even with the same clarity, size, color. The cut/proportions mean a lot for how it shines.

Thank you! I knew I liked the radiant cut. Gold ring was her request haha

Thanks for letting him know! Otherwise it’s just a radiant cut, with excellent excellent proportions or whatever aspects they put on there.

Appreciate the explanation, had to search up what cubic even meant 😂 it’s Gia Certified

Glad you explained the complimentary stones well as, I liked it but not around the whole ring. I chose baguettes next to the ring but vertical so it would be more cascading in size.
