I am looking for an engagment ring. I know my GF really likes the Tiffany Legacy ring, but unfortunatly there are none in my price range currently available. I am guessing this is because they sold a lot during the holidays and because V-day is coming up. I found a similar ring at Ben Bridge that is a 1 carat princess cut, with 3/8 carat in halo and side diamonds. I don;t remember the other specs for the ring because they really don''t mean much to me, but I have been to view it and I really like it. It actually looks better in person than in the pictures. (below) Here are my questions;
1) Do you think this is a good alternative to the Legacy? I don''t know much about rings or diamonds, so I guess I just want reassurance that the two are similar, ie someone that likes the Legacy would also like this ring?
2) The ring is priced at $7k, but they also sell the setting for $2,500 w/o the center stone. They told me I could go up to 1.5 carat for the center. Would it be wise to buy the Ben Bridge setting and get a slighlty larger center stone, from Blue Nile or somewhere similar, and possibly save a little money? If I bought a center stone seperately would it have to be a princess cut? Would it look strange if I used a cushion cut diamond?
If anyone has this ring please tell me what you think of it. Any other feedback would be greatly appreciated. thanks.
