Hello all. I haven't posted much here, but I have read until my eyes hurt. You all have helped much. The HCA helped too and the stone I finally selected for my ladyfriends e-ring scored a 0.6. Not too shabby. With all the talk of size in the "Am I being a brat" thread, I guess I would clearly fall on one side of the arguement. I had a budget of $5000-$6000. ANything more and the future misses would have said no. LOL. We still need a house and I'm sure children will follow, so to us there are plenty of other places to spend. Origionally I was at the "it has to be 1C or nothing" phase. Then started reading and found that quality costs, but to me would be much more rewarding. When playing the what if game with my sweetheart, I felt her out as to what was more important. She said it was quality over quantity for her hands down. Good, we were in agreement. The search ended with the stone and setting I am posting on. She has an idea that it will be coming sometime, but as of now secrecy is still in effect. Please let me know what you all think and thanks for all the pre buy info.
