Bracelet and ear rings ??? Help

[salmon]

Hey guys!

Do you select the diamonds for bracelets like you do for rings are do you just buy the set complete? Which vendors? I want to ask my gf for her hand in marriage by Sept. Before I was all set on going to Tiffany''s until I found out throught this awesome site (You guys) I can get a Super ideal diamond and a Mark Morell platinum settings for cheaper! And A better stone to boot. Since I''m saving money I''ve decided to buy her a diamond bracelet and a set of ear rings as well ( I don''t mind going over budget). So I''ll present all three at once. The triple threat! How could she say no to me after that? Anyway, any suggestions on the best route on buying a bracelet and ear rings via the vendors here. Thanks to you guys, I have the diamond ring purchase down (at least in my mind). PLEASE HELP!! I WANT TO PLEASE MY FUTURE WIFE!!

I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!

Triple threat indeed!!! I love the way you think!!! Go take a look at www.whiteflash.com they have great diamond bracelets set with ACA stones. Studs in their ready to go selection are great too. Or you can buy the stones seprately and have them set them for you. Not sure what size earrings you are looking for. I prefer the martini setting myself. Lots of bling and less metal. That''s a start at least!!

Would it be wrong to let the ring take center stage? As if any jewelry could on such a special day...

Seriously, if you want to go over budget, do it on the ring

Any idea what your girl's opinion about this might be? I can't possibly guess and it would be the one thing that counts.

kaleigh and Valeria Thanks for the advice and comments. Valeria, I think my girlfriend would be thrilled. She doesn''t own a piece of jewelry, and it''s about damn time she does!. She has really small fingers, so she wouldn''t want anything bigger than a carat. In other words, no need to spend more money on the ring. She''s going to Tiffany''s this weekend to look at some carat sizes, she doesn''t have any clue how a .50 or 1.0 would look on her finger. I think she''ll go for the .50 because of her small fingers. I do want the ring to take center stage, and I hope it will. The triple threat is part of the proposal. She''ll receive the ear rings and bracelet during the day (8am and 6 pm), each piece separately. When she thinks it''s all over, I''ll wake her up at three in the morning and WHAMMMMM! Will you Marry me Sweety! I would really like the hear what you other guys have to say about this? IS IT TOO MUCH TO THROW ON HER AT ONCE? SHOULD I ONLY BUY HER A RING. Valeria, I take your opinion seriously and will rethink my strategy. I DO WANT THIS TO BE A SPECIAL DAY FOR MY BABY! It''s really hard not to spoil her. We only see each other once or twice a year. She works in Central America and I work in the Middle East. We''ve been at it for three years now. I think the time has come and she''s been a lady in waiting far too long! OK, enough! PLEASE SEND YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS GUYS! Thanks!

Oh, man! I know how that feels

... and it surely looks like you know what to look for

Best of luck!

Can''t wait to see the result of the ring shopping excursion.

I think earrings and bracelet are fine, especially since she doesn't own any. I consider dripping in diamonds (minus wedding set) before 6 o'clock rather gauche, BUT, what the heck...

something like 1 ctw diamond studs are a versatile size for day and night.

I''ll seen pics by Sept. or alternatively, I''ll send updates as I acquire items.

Good for you and sounds like you're going to make one girl really happy. But dude, the waking her up at 3 AM part?? I'd kind of rethink your timing on that. I'd want to be completely awake, not groggy, looking decent. Now, maybe your girl's a light sleeper and wakes up looking absolutely fantastic, but most of us don't necessarily look or feel 'celebratory' at 3 AM.

Otherwise, you're doing great guy. Just maybe reset your clock a bit. Like maybe give the earrings at 10:00 AM over a nice breakfast. The bracelet at a nice tea at 4:00 PM. Then go to dinner at a terrific restaurant and give nothing. She'll think the day was fabulous, but you'll have one more surprise (during awake hours) for her. While you're at dinner, have someone sneak into your place and sprinkle rose buds all over the bed. Have them put a bottle of your favorite Champagne in the fridge and then arrive at home just in time to make the day end quite spectacularly.

Just a suggestion.

What a sweet guy.

I like the 3am part, I have often thought that a proposal I would like we be getting woken up with a ring. I think the 3am thing is unique, original, sweet, thoughtful, and totally suprising! I guess it depends on your girl, and you know her best, I would love it!
