So my BF and I are picking out an engagement ring (poor boy, I''m only involved because he''s seen me shopping and as he says "How can the perfect shirt be ruined by button placement?" I like to think that anything he bought me would be perfect but he''s not willing to risk it since he says I''m so picky about details)
Anyway, I love the Tacori shamrock collection (HT2196 in particular). I have a inherited 1ct marquise center stone for it, so the jewelers said they''d send the diamond to Tacori to be put in the setting. But I''m very very nervous that I''ve never seen the HT2196 in person, just the one picture on Tacori''s website. None of the places around me carry it. Also, the head is going to have to be changed to fit a marquis shape.
Would it be weird to ask the jeweler/Tacori to send sketches of what the ring will look like from different angles? I''m worried because some of their marquis heads are bezel-ish, and I definately want more prong-ish look. Also, I don''t even know how thick the band is, exactly what shape diamonds are where (the description says there are both round and princess cut stones) or how large my center stone is going to look inside it? Will it look dwarfed by the ring?
Sorry so long - I love the setting, but it seems sort of crazy to buy something so expensive basically sight unseen. And never having bought real jewelry before, I don''t know what''s normal to expect in this situation.
Any help would be appreciated!
