$13,000 Engagement Ring, what do you think?

[Newname123]

First, I would like to say thanks to everyone on here, you have been so helpful eliminating diamonds I would have easily purchased without knowing what was wrong with them.

I started out with a budget of $10,000 CAD, but I found this which was just outside of the budget, at $13,300 CAD set with taxes.

What do you think?

I think you chose an excellent diamond!!!! I know it is painful to go over budget, but down the road you will be so glad you got the larger size in a high quality diamond!
