How far in price would they come down if I started to flash some cash? Considering its also the end of the month?
THEN
What how much would a 1ct princess/cut corner square cost me? I don''t care where it is at?
(consider that of the band stones color)
Should it be this stressful?

First of all, your laughter cracks me up!
I found another similar setting at Signed Pieces. It is a little more expensive, but it is a little more delicate looking.

An asscher is NOT a princess with cut corners. Very, very different cut. You may be thinking of a radiant, flanders or simply a cut-corner princess. Here's an image to show all four.Date: 10/27/2007 1:16:45 PM

ETA: I see Ellen beat me to it! Now you are doubly surehaha
Between those cuts? NO ONE can answer that for you, except your future fiancée. I have an asscher center stone and love it. There are plenty of radiant and princess owners (and I''ve seen a couple flanders recently!) on here who wouldn''t trade their cut for anything else.Date: 10/27/2007 3:37:04 PM

okay, so what would look better for a square centerstone?

It would be a mistake to take anyone''s advice on which cut to choose, because it''s really just a matter of personal preference.

I agree with musey- it really all depends on what she likes. But Blue Nile has a very similar set you''re looking for, and they carry both princess and asscher cut diamonds. Pricescope has diamond tutorial pages with specs that you should keep an eye out for.
Blue Nile has almost the exact set you''re looking for (from the pictures you''ve posted) for just under $1000:
Channel-Set Princess cut Diamond Wedding Set
You said you had a budget of $5000, right? That gives you ~$4000 to work with on a center stone, which is totally do-able, especially if you''re willing to look for a stone that''s just a hair under 1 ct (.90-.99). Being just under the carat mark will save you some money.

So $4000 is an acceptal price for a center stone?
Basically I have about $3000 in my bank acct. & another $3,000 cash else where so.....I could make it work.
After all.....I guess I don''t really need tires for my carhaha....
