I have recently started looking for rings and have found out that this is a very lengthy process....which is not good considering when I am proposing. Anyway, I have gone to JBR, ZALES, FRED MYER, KAY, ETC. ETC. ETC. First off is it a good or bad idea to go with one of these "big names The ring that I like the most so far is from Kay so I guess Kay in particular is who I am looking for some advise on.... The ring that I like is white gold with baggets (sp?) and rounds along the sides and the centerstone I am looking at having put in is a .75 Leo diamond, F, SI, unfortunately I dont remember the rest of the specifics.... Anyway they are telling me that just this stone retails for $4,500........Anyway the long and the short of it is that with the Leo in that briefly described above setting they got it down to a total of $4,874.00..... Is this enough info for someone to give me ANY advise at all??? thanks. - Stressed
