After literally 6 months of deliberation and procrastination I have my ring. 1.6 carat GVS2 with platinum band. I can't remember the halo specs. James Allen were awesome to work with. They went above and beyond to ensure every aspect of the ring was to my liking. I specifically wanted a lower set stone, a bigger halo, pointy claws and went back and forth on the type of pave I wanted. I am so pleased with the final product and can't stop admiring it!!!
As aside note, I tried to buy my first stone from enchanted diamonds. I ordered and paid for the stone- they told me it was definately a go. Once the wire went through I got an email saying that their 'supplier' had screwed up and sold the stone. So they wired me my money back straight away. A few weeks later, they called to say the had accidentally wired me the money again- so I wired them their money back this time. They apologized for the confusion on both occasions and assured me they were going to find me a nice diamond. Then they went silent. Despite saying they were going to make me it a priority to find me a stone, they emailed me once with a stone suggestion that didn't even meet the grade criteria we had discussed, then they fell off the face of the earth. I honestly had lost confidence in them at that point. And it worked out in my favor as JA were fab!

Thanks guys! It was so much fun to be involved in the process. Any thoughts on insurance companies? Do you just add the ring to your home insurance, or take out a separate policy?

Thank you for the kind words :) to be honest- without Pricescope I wouldn't have this ring. This forum gave me the knowledge and the confidence to choose a stone and setting that I love. its kind of addictive :)

I love that combination - a twisted band AND a halo - very cool!! Love that it is low set as well. Sometimes, things just work out the way they are supposed to... Beautifully!!!
