So... after not sleeping the other night, calling the jeweler and saying I don''t have a good feeling about the first ring, I went back last evening and saw some more rings and iI finally think I''m comfortable with my purchase... Here''s what I ended up getting (now I''ll just be in agony until I see the final mounted ring!)
Thanks to Belle for the encouragement, Paul Slegers, Ana (with her 0.02 worth), Anglea, and One For Life for the setting pictures!!
1.22ctw
Princess Cut
5.96 x 5.85 x 4.23
Color - F
Clarity - SI1
Depth - 72.3%
Table - 71%
Girdly - Ext Thin to Thick
Culent - None
Polish - Good
Symmetry - Good
Flouresc. - None
GIA Laser Inscribed
The mounting is going to be set in white gold w/some filagree work, similar to this picture....that Belle doctored up for me to see how it''d look w/a Princess set in it (thanks again!)
I THINK I got a fairly decent deal with a price of $7575 out the door... so that''s a custom made ring, with 8 small diamonds of a total weight around .40ctw VS1 or higher, and including the tax. Takes me a bit with the whole buyer''s remorse thing, hoping I got a good deal.... but now I just hope when I see it, all of that anxiety will go away & I''ll know this is the ring for her!!!!
Cheers,
Jon
