Hello all,
First of all let me apologize ahead of time for my lack of knowledge or if I ask any dumb questions. I have been reading these forums for about a week now, trying to pick up what knowledge I can from you all and I have been overwhelmed with information! You guys are great! Anyway, I figured I would post to see if anybody can give me some insight to my specific situation. Here goes...
Budget: ~$4000
Timeframe: December 2011
Musts: Princess cut diamond, solitaire, white gold or platinum setting, "eye-clean" diamond
Likes: ~0.75c if possible, Near colorless (G-ish?)
I know I have not given much detail here, but I guess what I am looking for is advice for where to start really. Everybody talks about all of the different ER retailers on here like Blue Nile, James Allen, Good Old Gold, etc. but I am wondering which of these are the better choices and why.
Now I know that just about every girl loves a Tiffany's ring, and mine is no different. I do not plan on getting a ring from Tiffanys because I know I cannot afford something great from there, but I know this is a style that she likes so I am posting it as reference to the style.

I have a while to make a decision, but I am one of those people that likes to get as much information as possible and not just make a split second decision. So any advice or direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys!
