So, as with life, if you want something perfect you gotta be ready to pay an arm and a leg for it.

I am looking to buy my fiance a diamond solitaire engagement ring. Unfortunately since I left my job to move across the country I am on a bit of a budget.

The ideal ring that I want to buy is a 1.5 carat, VS1 or better, F or better color with an Prem cut. Unfortunately, those run in about the $15-17k range.

So, I need to “adjust” one if the 5 Cs to make it fit my budget of about $10-12k.

What should I sacrifice? Color? Clarity? Carat is out of the question since I want to keep it at 1.5.

So anyone have any opinions?

Fiance wants a dinky ring so for those of you who think she is greedy and stuck up….she is not. This is my choice.
