Well I had a last minute change of mind (not about the engagement, about the diamond).
For about the same price there is a slightly smaller diamond (1.28 carats) that may be available that is a VS1 in clarity (2 steps higher) and a F in color (one step higher). The diamond was on their "list", but it is in New York so they were closed when she tried to confirm availability. She is going to call me first thing in the morning and let me know if it is available. IF so they will fly the diamond in from NY and I will have to wait about a week for them to get it set. (of course I will look at it first).
Heres to hoping that the diamond is available. Wish me luck!
The lady said that I must be in the 1% of pickiest diamond shoppers.
