It’s supposedly positive for yellower stones since it will help make it look whiter. For colorless stones there is supposedly no benefit (and will look blue in uv light).

Back in the day,my wife was more concerned with stone quality/color than size; I think over time she would go the opposite way, since no one can really tell her stone is vvs2, etc., but size is noticeable.

Put similar stats into PriceScope and see what you come up with.

My wife is 5'2" an pretty petite and she thinks her slightly over 2 is too big and she's nervous about losing it / breaking it and doesn't wear it other than when we dress up, which is almost never.

Also, just fyi, as long as they're within the acceptable color and clarity ranges, the only thing that matters is size (obviously) and cut -- none of that other shit matters IRL at 1x. I'd go down in size slightly and up in cut unless you're marrying a sturdy woman.

"Tiffany"-style solitaire or maybe 3-stone (i.e. two side stones to the big diamond).

Also, similar to the comment re: the stone above: You can't see any of this detail IRL -- stuff online is magnified 100x so you see every little swirl and detail in the setting, but no one can tell IRL. This should have been obvious to me, but I was a bit underwhelmed when I picked up the box at FedEx.

Go simple and classic. The other benefit with that is that you can get it re-set without losing a bunch on a setting if she has her heart set on something different that you don't know about.

If you think you're capable of picking something out that she's happy with, given your budget and timing, you could try to have something designed, too.

However big the center diamond is, the side stones will need to balance it. So I would say two carat max on a solitaire, or somewhere around 1 to 1.5 carat center stone with side stones.

If you are spending a lot on a diamond, you don't just go on fucking bluenile and buy one. You should be working personally with a legit gemologist. Not flaming. You will get a better diamond for cheaper than you will get ordering on your own.

Thought the whole point of blue nile is to cut out the middleman and thus collapse the spread between wholesale and retail pricing. How would said gemologist make $ selling the same diamond for less?

Blue Nile is also no hassle. If you walk into the diamond district and say I know nothing but have a 100k to spend, you aren’t getting a deal without some effort.

I thought you want to be all waspy? 4 carats is the purview of rappers, Hollywood celebrities and 50+ milfs. 2.5-3 carats will make her the envy of 99% of women out there so there’s no need for anything beyond that.

Also if you’re going to go over 2 carats, best to work with a real jeweler so you can see the diamond rather than bluenile. Bluenile marks up about 20% from their suppliers. A jeweler will get you a lower markup and will also pick the best value for you. The GIA spec sheet won’t tell you anything. You can get an eye clean diamond with worse specs that looks great. You really want to spend $100k sight unseen on bluenile?

Go to the diamond district and see for yourself.

Ty for your insight and female perspective

I think I'm going to focus on 2.5-3ct. She doesn't have large fingers so 4 is probably nuts. Her sister has a large canary diamond, and I'll try to see what size that is.

Yellow diamonds are weird and so her sister’s ring might be 30-50% more than white diamonds if it’s a deep yellow color or the same or less than white diamonds if they’re a faint yellow color.

Go for a size just slightly under (like 2.90 or 2.45) and excellent cut and you can go worse on color and clarity. Nobody will notice. Spend $50-60k all in.

Ring that big should be just a solitaire with no other distractions.

He makes over a $1m/year. $50-60k is whatever. The ring is more to make other women jealous. $100k is ridiculous, not because he can’t afford it, but because it’s too gaudy looking.

Pink diamonds are expensive as hell and $100k prob gets you 2 carats max.

Diamond engagement rings are only for other women to look at. Women do not get jealous over “unique” engagement rings even if they’re expensive. They get jealous over a huge fucking white diamond (that doesn’t look like the kardashians wear it).

Since his fiancée already has a sister with a huge yellow ring, he’s competing with that.

fwiw, I think most diamond rings all look the same and don't really pay attention to diamond sizes or rings as I can't tell the difference most of the time. I'm not convinced the average female can tell either unless you're at one extreme or the other.

Pink diamonds or some colored gem would catch my eye though because it's an unusual color

Average female can only tell size. Most diamond rings look the same because it’s actually quite rare to see rings much over 2 carats and when you do see them, you can’t help but notice.

That’s a nice stone, though you don’t want strong fluorescence. But that’s not one of the “4Cs” so is often overlooked by buyers.

All of these dumb MFEs saying you should just do Shlomo are full of shit. You won’t do better on a GIA rated stone going through your local guy. Bluenile buys more diamonds than they do. And the poster above is dumb: they buy plenty of big stones, including into the million plus range.

Finally, as much as I love you making Nutella jealous, 4 carats is too big for a non gold digger engagement ring. Get a nice 2.5 carat VS1 with a D or E color. That’s noticeably big to 99% of the population, but it won’t make you a target for theft or make you look like you are running cocaine. Personally I wouldn’t go larger than 3.25 unless your fiancée is Khloe Kardashian sized.

You can get away with a much smaller carat depending on the setting.

I have a family heirloom ring passed down in the family. Diamond is probably only 1.25 carats, but due to the setting it looks much bigger than it is.

It is set like this:

https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0803/5747/products/vintage-engagement-ring-erstwhile-jewelry-2259-2_768x768.jpg?v=1458326234

I think it was appraised at only 6K, but looks much more expensive than it is IMO. My friends thought it was worth maybe 20K+, but it's not.

Also look at estate sales if you don't have a family heirloom.
