My bf finally hinted at getting me a ring. However after seeing all of the beautiful antique rings I want one too. This makes it very difficult for my bf to shop for me since I''m usually the negotiator of all major purchases in our home. With that said I need help. I am almost positive that I want an edwardian style ring with an old european cut diamond but thats about it. I live in NJ so I have access to NY easily but I have no idea what a reasonable price is since I have nothing to compare it too. Here are links to rings that I like so you have an idea of what I''m looking for.
(I''ve read thru many many forums and have an idea of color and the typical places to look for rings)

oh and any ring that looks like surFgirls!!!!!!!!!
Basic questions:
How do you make that kind of a purchase online?
Are any prices in antique places negotiable?
Do you appraise before or after you buy and how much is an appraisal?
How much info should the jeweler have about the ring?
THANKS FOR ANY HELP!!!!!!
