Yippie! Yesterday''s trip to NYC was terrific! Despite having to drive in the city (which is always a daunting affair, imho) and having received a lovely parking ticket (my husband is STILL not happy about that one) we found a BEAUTIFUL diamond from a great place, and have ordered the ring.
They said it would be ready in about a week, but since we are using their inhouse layaway program, I won''t actually have it for about 90 days - still, since we dont'' have a lot of cash on hand, and don''t want to rack up credit card bills, this is the perfect solution.
I ended up choosing a .97 carat emerald cut diamond with D color and VVS2 clarity - I know that according to the guides, etc., the depth and table are a teeny bit higher than some might want, but the shine this stone gave off was breathtaking, and I fell into the diamond and in love with it immediately. It''s truely a breathtaking diamond! we compared it to a LOT of stones online and in local stores, and even compared it to another diamond they had on hand, and kept coming back to the same one. My husband, who has an amazing eye for detail, said he felt the cut was magnificent!
The setting is one they are making for me, and even customizing it a bit further with some hand engraving details. I can''t WAIT to see it completed!!!!!
Thanks everyone for your help and support - this is such a big purchase decision! As soon as I have some pictures of it, I''ll be sure to post them!
Once again, i''d like to recommend them, if anyone is looking for a great place to buy in the diamond district in NYC, Angel Diamonds (www.angeldiamond.com) is a great place, off the ''street level'' rush in the district, and everyone there right up to the owner of the place was friendly, informative, and willing to do whatever it took to make us happy - including meeting us outside of regular business hours.
