Hi, everyone!
That's my first post here (not in my first language - sorry for any errors) and I'm begging for help.
After long and eventful arguments with my boyfriend, we have agreed that I'm going to be the one that choose my ring. Budget is 25k (a lot of money if you're from east Europe) so it should be easy, but it really isn't. Prices here are ridiculous. Our local companies cost as much as Tiffany does (SIC!) but with so much less quality etc. So here I am - in the Internet.
My dream is sparkly (!!!) solitaire ring with big stone (round cut) and very slim pave, also with our initials on the back (like in Lady Gaga ring, not the biggest fan, but her engagement ring was amazing. Love how every element is filled with diamonds. Out of my reach sadly. )
I think it's cute and unique, even though front can remain simple and classy.
So I've been reading this forum for some time, acknowledge some things - cut is the most important thing, color from G-J are still fine and quite white, till VS2 it's ok, etc. I have also learned about lab diamonds. Nonetheless, I can't make head or tail of it.
Yeah, I need some reality check: *what* can I get for 25k? Some info *where* would be awesome too.
Thanks in advance for any answers.
