My GF tried on an ugly IGI cert I2 J i believe it was. It was a 3 stone setting and the center was .70 and the sides were 0.40. Anyway, the sales person looks at me and says, " The center is 3/4 of a CT!" I plan on giving my GF her e-ring this week so I didn't want to make it look like I knew what I was talking about so I looked at the sale person and said, "Doesn't .75 equal 3/4 CT ?" She said, "Oh no, 3/4 ct is anything between .68 to .79, that's what a 3/4 ct is considered" I had to BITE MY LIP!! Anyway, I smiled at the sales person and said, "Oh, okay, that makes sense..." I plan on giving her the ring in Boca Raton FL this week on the beach...I will take pictures and post them when we get back. I just want to thank everyone who helped over the last month! I would have probably bought the .70 ct and believed it was .75 if it wasn't for you folks on this site!!

I say you go back to that maul store when she has her ring just to point at laugh...just kidding! These maul stores serve therir purpose, and for some people are a saving grace...like the people who go home with one less crappy diamond on their shelf and twice the $$ in their pocket!!!

Mara Ideal Rock Total Posts: 27,919 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 10/30/2002	Your ring for her will be perfect, its something like 1.15c center and .50c each side right? So if she tried on the .70c and .40c each...she will be really surprised when her ring is soo much more sparkly AND bigger.

LadyJ Cut Rock Total Posts: 118 Last Post: 4/9/2004 Member Since: 2/22/2004	Sounds like the same type of thing I encountered looking in the mall which is why we went with WF. Congrats to you! Your girlfriend is going to die when she sees the ring you got her it sounds amazing! She will be thrilled when she sees how much nicer it is than the ones at the mall. She will appreciate that you made the effort to get her something very nice. Have fun in Florida!
