I live in Houston and I''m shopping around for an engagement ring. I know that I want something simple, clean and - of course - beautful. I know that I''m looking for a 3 stone style ring with a round cut center.
Despite all the negative press in here, I went into Robbins Bros on 1960 this evening to see what they have. I found a ring that I really like. It''s a 3 stone with my choice of center stones and 2 marquis cut diamonds on either side. I''ve never seen anything quite like it... I mean, of course there''s tons of 3 stones with round side stones or baguettes... but I haven''t come across many marquis sides. This ring is palladium and is priced at $875 + center stone.
I didn''t have time to stay and look at stones... and I already know that Robbins is probably gonna try to gouge me on the center stone whenever I go back. So I''m wondering, does anyone have any advice for me? What do you think of this ring? I really liked the way it looked with the .75ct cz that they displayed it with. It was a good size for that ring. I''d be happy with anything in the .75 - 1ct range... but I really like those marquis stones on the sides!
I don''t have a ton of money to spend. My ballpark is in the $3-3500 range.
Here''s a link to the Robbins ring I like... sku# 0363649
