I am a newb here and need the groups help. I have previously listed a question to the forum asking for help so I could understand some images I was sent. It turned out the images proved the stone I was looking at was a bust, but within OoohShiny suggested that I ask the group to help me find the right stone. Lunajewels made a great suggestion, but unfortunately in Platinum it would put me way over budget.
Would you please help me find a great ring for my hopefully soon to be fiance? She is a recent leukemia survivor and I would really like to blow here away with a gorgeous engagement ring. She deserves it for sure.
O.K., here goes.
I've got a budget of between 5 and 6 thousand for an engagement ring. My girlfriend likes silver for the color so platinum is the metal. I suppose it could be palladium if that would get a better stone and still be of high quality and be a tasteful choice. She has said she likes solitaires, but I bet she would like a 3 stone ring also, and I'm picturing two pears surrounding a round stone. If I can't find one nice enough in my range I'd downshift to a larger solitaire. I've been reading the the sweet spot for stones and platinum color is an I or J, VS2 or SI1. I'd get the best cut stone in the largest carat weight I could wrangle and stay within budget. She has large hands, with a size 7.5 ring finger, so this makes the selection harder. Should I go with multiple stones to match her hand, or larger center stone to do the same? I'm open to anything that is reasonable. I'm not very knowledgeable about jewelry, so anything you could do to guide me is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Ron
