If you had $10,000 to spend on an engagement ring, what woud you buy? What cut do you think would be the best stone investment?

I would just buy what you like and suits your hand and lifestyle best. I wouldn't look at buying any jewellery as an investment, as unless you have the connections in the trade, you will almost always lose money on a resale.

I wouldn't buy a stone per say for an investment but probably the most common stone is the round brilliant. A round brilliants in a classic Tiffany setting or the Whiteflash legato pave, is lovely! Maybe something like this http://www.whiteflash.com/hearts_arrows/A-Cut-Above-H-A-cut-diamond-1050545.htm http://www.whiteflash.com/Engagement-Rings/Styles/Diamond-Settings/The--Legato--with-Micro-Pave_1071.htm Skippy  "The only things that stand between a person and what they want in life are the will to try it, and the faith to believe it's possible" Rich Devos |

Personally, I'm looking to get a radiant or emerald. I'm trying to spend less than $10,000.

Hey, go with your gut! If you like radiant, go with it. Many begged my fiance' to get an Asscher because "its more popular than a Radiant". When she had the two stones in front of her, she always picked the Radiant. Now its on her hand and she loves it!

I'd buy a gorgeous round brilliant or a square hearts and arrows from GOG and set it in a lovely leon pave split shank.

Engagement rings are not investments! They are symbols of love and committment and you will never get the same price as what you paid if in the event you need to resell it. Buy the best cut stone you can and have it set in a setting you know she will adore, if unsure, pop it in a temp setting and she can decide later on. Wedding Date Take 2: 26th November 2009! |

Well I'm a round kind of girl (though I have recently seen some amazing emerald cuts) with 10k, I'd find an amazing OEC and set it in either WF's W prong or a MM...

The best investment in the shape of a diamond is the Round.

I would never choose a cut(shape) based on investment value unless I had hundreds of thousands/millions of dollars burning a hole in my pocket. Choose your engagement ring for the style you love most since you'll be the one wearing and admiring it every day. That said, for $10,000, I would get (and I'm already wearing my favorite choice of a 0.75 carat untreated fancy yellow cushion surrounded by 0.26 carats VS E white round diamonds in platinum and 18k yellow gold) a 1.5 carat VS E/F asscher on a low set 2.5mm platinum ring with double claw curved prongs. |

I was looking through his rings for sale and found this one w/a CZ for $4,950 in platinum. That gives you a rough idea of what just the setting (it's called "Gina") would be for a size 5 1/2.  http://www.artofplatinum.com/4images/details.php?image_id=400
