Hello all, my name is AJ and I''m looking to buy an engagement ring for my girlfriend in the next few months.
Here''s some of my questions:
1.) I have around 8k to spend (diamond and setting), should I shop online or B&M? I live in the DC Area.
She likes the tacori settings (HT 2257 A, HT 2306), But a little thinner and the diamonds half way around.
Below is a link to one of them.

2.) I know she wants a round diamond and I want to get her at least a carat. Do I buy a better cut, clarity, etc?
3.) If I choose B&M, should I go to the mall (Bailey Banks and B) or to an independent?
If there is anything I''m missing, please let me know. She''s a big fan of the antique finish which is why i''m looking more into the Tacori rings. Do you guys think I''ll be able to get her something similar to the above ring in my price range? Thanks for helping me out. I''m still a rookie at this stuff.
