I''d like to start my post with a quick "thank-you" shout out. Thank you to all of you loyal Pricescopers for your well-educated and charitable advice. It''s websites like these that really help "cut" through all of the fluff and static. Many of the snakes behind jewelry marketing and sales can really sidetrack well-intentioned, yet impulsive diamond purchases like myself into rushing into a decision. If I had not stumbled upon the wealth of information found in the archives of these forums, I would probably be presenting my bride-to-be with a less than stellar stone with a more than appropriate price tag. That said, I still feel like a novice in the search...and the little introductory knowledge I have learned has really only succeeded in illuminating all of the risks involved in the process.
I would really appreciate your help in getting the best bang for my buck for an engagement ring.
Here''s my scenario:
I can spend 5000 dollars.
My girfriend and I have dated for about 4 years. We talk about marriage and we''re actually closing on a home in the next few weeks. Needless to say...the ball is in my hands, no timeouts- everybody knows I''m going to shoot. She has bashfully refused to be involved in the diamond search (she says it''s supposed to be a complete surprise...and promised that anything I pick will be sufficient). Even though I have been sent on the ride alone and with complete confidence, she has provided training wheels in the form of basic admissions of preference and a description of the "perfect ring".
Description:
Round Stone
A band with tiny individually set/pronged diamonds on the band (these don''t have to run around the entire ring)
Size 6
White Gold is fine
This may not be much to go on, and I''ll be free to provide more of my limited knowledge if that helps with advice. As always...it''s much appreciated. I''m anxious to see what you guys and gals come up with.
Thanks!
