Hi everyone, I''m brand new to the forum. After seven years together, I''ve decided that I am going to ask my girlfriend to marry me. She''s my best friend and has stuck with me through everything (college, law school, moving with me to a new state for my job, etc.) so I want to get her something that will really knock her socks off. My budget is between 20-25k. I know she likes the look of the rings with the middle stone and with 1 stone on each side. I know that she likes either round or oval stones. That''s about all I know. I''m somewhat familiar with the 4cs but I''m lost when everyone starts talking about the girdle, cutlet, etc. Also, having the perfect colorless, flawless diamond is not a priority. I want very nice diamonds but it doesn''t have to be a D color, flawless one. Does anyone have any ideas of grade of diamonds and/or style ideas of what I can get for my budget?
