My girlfriend is inspired by the design (and name) of a David Yurman engagement ring. Specifically the "DY Capri". See picture.
I stopped by one of David Yurman stores and they were selling one similar to pictured with 1.2 carats halo, I color, and vs2 clarity (don't have other specs). Total price for the ring was apx $15K (not including tax).
I am very new to learning about diamonds, rings, etc but my first impression was this seems like a high premium to pay for such a small diamond. Thus wanted to explore building this same ring custom. Few questions:
-Where can I find the exact same roped metal band/setting (platinum)? If I can't buy it exactly Any tips or pointers would be much appreciated if I need someone to due it custom. I live in Chicago.
-What do you think a good diamond be for this type of setting? I wanted bigger then 1.4 carats and REALLY sparkly in the sunlight. I was looking at this one - http://www.bluenile.com/diamond-details/LD05021970?track=Detlink1
Thanks again for the help.
