Don''t even know where to start. Want to buy an engagement diamond ring for my gf. Budget is US$8-11k
She''s petite, Chinese, creatively stylish (always looks nice but puts her own outfits/styles together). I''m white American. We''re both down to earth, strongly dislike material culture and super brand items like LV. Of course I want a ring that she can be proud of and feel good about, but not showy.
Like anyone else, want to make sure I get value for money without going thru an ordeal. I like the look of the Tiffany brand 1ct princess setting, but I don''t know jack (yet).
We live in China. My sense is there are no values to be had here. Everything is more expensive. Will probably take a trip to the US in Summer and could make purchase there.
Will appreciate anything you have to say. There are lots of good threads, but it''s hard to go thru them all to glean out a good starting point for myself.
