I have a trilliant lil over 1 ct. I would strongly suggest going to a reputable jeweler and picking your stone seperate from the setting. You can see the stone more clearly when it is loose. Also dont buy from a jewelry store in the mall such as lundstrom or marks bro. etc. I used to work in a mall jewelry store and i have to tell you the quality is not so good and the mark up is just crazy. In illinois we have a building called jewelers row where its just all jewelers and its great cause when i went looking for mine i was able to compare and look at different settings. In fact many jewelers out here get thier stones from there. I know many cities have the same type of area where its similar. I had so much fun when picking out my ring. My husband let me pick the stone then he picked the setting from ones he knew i liked so this way there was still a lil element of suprise lol. Good luck in your search and trust me you will know which one is for you when you see it.
