Engagement ring

Options
Hey Everyone,

I'm shopping for an engagement ring at the moment. My budget is £1500.00.

I have a friend her works for Ernest Jones who has a 50% off voucher because she works there. I'm looking at a Tolkowsky 18ct White Gold ring with a 0.50ct diamond with IL1 colour / clarity.

Obviously Tolkowsky has a very good reputation so I can be assured the ring is of good quality.

But after shopping some further I have found online stores which offer
similar rings (just not tolkowsky) with better clarity and colour for a lower price.
    Tolkowsky ring retails at £2999.00 ( - 50% discount = £1500)
      Online ring retails at £1299.00

      Does anyone know what's best to do?. Obviously I want the best diamond possible but not sure whether to go for the name of Tolkowsky or simply order a ring from an online shop such as https://www.buyfinediamonds.co.uk.

      Thanks
