Hello everyone. I am so glad forums like this exist and are able to help people like me, who are unedicuated about the Diamond buying process. I am in the market for an engagement ring and I do not know the 1st place to start. I would like to keep it under 10k but willing to spend that much. I do not want to take my girl to the store to search for the ring before hand, but I do have a couple of buddies who have purchased the stone in a cheapo setting and given their girl a budget on what they can spend on the band. I am certainly open to suggestions and need to be pointed in the right direction.
I live in NYC and close the the Dimond district, but I have mixed feelings about purchasing a ring from there. I would like to buy from someone in NYC or Long Island NY. Looking forward to your recommendations.
As far as what I (or she :roll eyes: ) wants. I really have no idea... She does have a Pinterest account which has a couple of pictures of rings she likes, but thats about all I have. I would think based on those pictures (and I can provide them) the stone would be round...
I can appreciate quality over a "big name" such as Tiffanys, so buying from a big name store is defiantly out of the question, but stylishtically im sure she would love something like that.
So... Where should I start? Where should I go? Im looking to be put in someones hands people know and trust, who will offer good value, and service. I am not looking to become a jewelry expert or devote months of time into research.
Thank you so very much. Looking forward to your replies.
