Just pulled the trigger after months of looking!!!! Thank you guys so much for your help you have saved me a couple thousand dollars all while getting a beautiful stone! Or I think anyways! Let me know what y''all think!!!

Stone: http://www.jamesallen.com/diamonds/I-VS2-Ideal-Cut-Round-Diamond-1288896.asp

setting: http://www.jamesallen.com/engagement-rings/solitaire/solitaire-diamond-ring.html

I thought the IS was very good on the stone. But I''m not exactly an expert. Also went with the 2.5mm per the JA rep. Said with a 6.5 ring the bigger would look better! I was a little concerned at first about the I color but after looking at pics on here and if the cut is as good as I hope, I don''t think it will be an issue.

The diamond looks awesome, and the setting is lovely and classic. I agree about the 2.5mm band... that is still mega thin in reality but will look great on her hand. I have the same finger size and prefer bands that width. I also think you will have no issues with the color at all. Seems like a great choice!

When is the proposal?

Thanks so much! I literally have been on here since September learning about stones. I really feel like after learning how bad the stores get you I could open up a store and put them out of business. It seemed like most stores I went to must have marked up their stones 100% or more. But thanks so much for your help I can''t wait to get it! The proposal is May 31st in a hot air balloon!

Thought this was pretty cool. Don''t know if anyone knows who this is but on May 13th she posted my diamond as the best diamond under 2000 for the day. It may be a JA ad for all I know but I thought it was pretty neat! Unless you can''t tell I''m pretty excited about my ring.
