My quest for an engagement ring has now taken a drastic turn. Today we fell in love with a setting that restricts what I have been shopping for. It is a platinum antique style ring that would hold the diamond at a 90 degree angle.(I have been told this is called a kite set) We could go no larger than .5 carat when I was origionally shopping for something twice that size. The ring only as about .2 TCW. We would rather have the ring in white gold, however they said that they cannot get it in any other metal. The problem is the setting would be about 5 times the cost of the diamond. About 4500 after all discounts and taxes.
I know I am going to get hell for this, but we found it at a local B&M, in the mall no less.
Do you all know of anybody who may be able to create something simiilar at a better price?
Is it a bad idea to place so much of my investment in the ring as opposed to the diamond?
In general, are they screwing me over?
