Hello everyone! Just to warn all of you, this is my first post here, so I apologize if there is some sort of unwritten rule that I'm breaking here But I could really use some advice! My boyfriend and I will be purchasing an engagement ring when he comes home from basic in December! I'm thrilled, but torn. Our budget is 3000 dollars, and I fell in love with a solitaire tacori setting, this one to be exact: http://www.since1910.com/engagement/tacori/tacori-solitaire-engagement-ring-with-milgrain-edge-ps2186.aspx . It's definitely my type of jewelry, very dainty and antique looking, but the base price starts at 1300 dollars. That's nearly half of the total budget for the ring. I also am considering having it made with 6 prongs (just a personal preference) which would make the setting cost 1600 dollars. So I guess what I'm asking is if anyone knows, is this setting REALLY worth that much money? I don't really care about it being designer, but I do really like the antique look of it, and it's also the smallest band I've seen so far (which is a good thing for me!). But then with the price of matching wedding bands with it...it seems like a lot. So torn. So do you think the tacori band is worth the markup? Or is it too much money for what you get?
