I know the majority of PSers lean towards "non-designer" rings or more moderately priced designer rings, such as Tacori, etc.
That being said, like many women, I have always been a big fan of Harry Winston engagement rings. Design, quality, craftsmanship, legacy, reputation, service, etc. My bf and I have priced their rings and we both love the popular cushion cut micropave halo. The largest we are able to afford would be a 1.8, even that is kinda pushing it. However, we both tend to like larger stones. Where we live, the majority of ladies wear 2 carat engagement rings and up. As most of you know, for the price of a 1.8 HW, we could easily purchase a much larger diamond.
Even though we are both fans of HW, we are somewhat on the fence about which direction to go. If we had the money, we would certainly purchase a larger HW. Since we have a budget, I don't know whether to let go of my dream of owning a HW and opt for a larger stone, or just go forward with a 1.8 HW. I know 1.8 is a nice size, however when I tried it on, I felt it did not give me the finger coverage I was looking for. I wear a size 6. So it's not so much the carat size that is bothering me, but how that size looks on my finger.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!
