okay, so I go into the city to put a down payment on the setting.

The lady says, "this is your setting, it's a size 6 but we will make it a 6.5".

I looked at it and it had scratches on it.    She said they can buff them out and it will look brand new.

This setting will cost $875 in plat.   If she had to make a new one it will cost about $1,200.

I asked how old this setting was and she said 4 weeks - (who knows if that's correct).

I put the $300 down payment on the ring and was driving home thinking... how many people put their finger in that ring?  

I know I'm nuts but I searched for a long long time for a perfect diamond then I'm going to have it put on a ring that's been passed around from hand to hand.   Am I nuts?    I guess I figured my girlfriend would be the only person in the world to wear that ring.

So, I might have to spend the extra money because of my crazy OCD.  

However, I see the same setting online for $750.    I assume the online stores stock up on these settings where as a small mom/pop store who makes their own just keeps a few at a time.

I paid the downpayment via a check.     Any thoughts on this topic?

I also think I spent about $500 in gas traveling to different stores.  :)

but I wanted it in a 6 prong.
