Hi everyone!  I am new here.  I have a dilemma.  I have been trying to pick out my engagement ring for months now and I have made no progress.  The longer I go without choosing a ring, the longer he waits to propose.  Please help me!  I have no idea what I am doing.  I do have an idea of what I want though.

Here is what I am looking for:

Setting:
    White Gold or Platinum (depending on budget)
    Prongs: Platinum Chevron prongs (possibly pave')
    Pave half band on one side or three sides
    Matching wedding band (a must)
    3.0 mm
    Size: 6.5

Diamond:
    Princess
    Color:  D-G (no yellow at all)
    At least 1 ct (would like up to 1.5 ct)
    VS2 - SI2
    no visible inclusions on top
 
If you know of any settings or diamonds, I would really appreciate your help.  I am not picky, but when it comes to this ring, I have been waiting a LONG time.  I want it to be perfect.  

I am also hesitant of buying a diamond or setting online.  Can anyone please ease my fears and let me know of some reputable vendors?  Thanks a bunch!  And Happy Mardi Gras!

So so sorry.  The budget for the stone and setting is $7000 (with wedding band).  We are trying to save for our house.   

I appreciate any help.  Thanks!

http://www.exceldiamonds.com/-Engagement-Rings-5/Exceldiamonds-4-Prong-Diamond-Engagement-Ring-Victory-Setting-in-White-Gold-647.html (ask then for a price for this with pave added-- Vatche will do special requests)

Ask for matching band (they will have them) and see if they will negotiate a price for you since you are buying all three from them... others on here have had some success negotiating with them.

They wil adjust their settings to accomodate a square head. Ask for matching bands.
