Hi all,
I''ve been lurking around here for a couple months now (and learning a lot), but this is my first post.
I decided to start saving up for a ring back in November. I''ve been doing lots of research since then via a couple books and the internet to make sure I''m educated well in advance of the actual shopping. I want to save up as much as possible before shopping, but I don''t want to wait too long. I plan on purposing on May 14th. The question is, when should I start hitting the stores to really begin shopping? I don''t know for sure, but assume I''m getting a custom made setting to make sure I have enough time if I decide to go that route.
A quick note about me, my girl, and the ring. We met through an internet dating website. May 14th, 2004 is the date that that I first emailed her, hence why I''m purposing on that date. I wanted something signifigant, but not a usual date like her birthday or our aniversary. I''m going to get her a princess cut, around the .8 range, set in platinum.
Thanks for any help you can give.
