I would like to start off by saying thank you to all of the PSers that helped me through the decision process these past few weeks!
So I finalized my order with James Allen today and it is scheduled to ship by the end of the week. So far they have been a pleasure to deal with! I am so excited and nervous at the same time. Not to mention I am keeping it from friends as I am committed to a 100% surprise. Family and friends do know I am planning on asking her ''this summer'' or ''this year'' depending on what I have told them, but no one knows I bought the ring or that I am planning on popping the question within the next two months! At least I have PS!
I ended up getting this diamond (IS seen here) as recommended by the gemologist at JA as well as other PSers.
I am getting it set with the James Allen French Cut Pave Setting. Ring size will be 4.5. A few other PSers have different versions of this ring and from what I can gather from their descriptions and hand shots it is very delicate, not-too flashy, and beautiful. I really think my GF will love it (I hope)...
Hope that wasn''t too long and thank you to everyone again for all the help and suggestions. I am debating on scheduling an appointment with Jeff Averbook in Boston (I''m in RI and he seems to be the most recommended appraiser within driving distance). I am still nervous about buying everything online and I think it will give me the piece of mind (I hope) that everything is in order. One question I will ask on this loooong post is what other PSers suggest about getting independent appraisals.
Sorry for the novel and thanks again! I started off this process completely clueless and very overwhelmed, and then I stumbled upon PS.
I guess thats it for now, but I''ll post pictures of the finished ring when I receive it.
