My fiance bought me a ring which I really like, but it isn''t exactly what I was hoping for. After talking, we decided we could switch it for something I liked better. We do NOT have a big budget at all, we''re both college students and know we can''t afford something big, so I was looking at ebay to see if I could find a good deal. I found this site and noticed all of you are experts with diamonds. I would like your advice because I''m not that informed about diamonds. Honestly, to me the size is priority. I don''t want a huge ring, but I don''t want something small either. The one I have not is .62 carat and its tw is .87? around there. I was hoping to get a 1 ct solitaire and then change the mounting once we have more money. Anyway, I started looking at ebay and found LaRouche, I already looked them up in here and just found a couple of topics which all seem to have good stories about them. So the one I''m really in love with is this

I LOVE that it looks like a crown from the side. Anyway, I already asked LaRouche about having it certified and he said it could get a NGL certification. I looked that up too and I guess it''s not a good idea. So I''ve emailed him again about possibly changing the diamond to a GIA certified one, since he does offer them. Anyway, my dilemma is that I really love this ring, it''s affordable (which according to you girls should be a red-flag) and it''s a good size. I''m willing to buy it even if it doesn''t have a certificate because, yes, I love it that much. What do you girls think? Is it worth it? Please give me your honest advice!
Sorry this is such a long post!
