PS lovelies... my bff is finally getting engaged after waiting 9 years! I could cry for happiness for her! She told me a couple years ago “I just don’t think marriage is in the cards for us”. Despite her dearest wishes, her boyfriend wasn’t wanting to get married. Well, he’s FINALLY on board but still kind of dragging his heels. I’m a good friend and I love bling so my gal pal has told him, “Talk to Pearaffair”. But my knowledge is not as good as all of yours. I would love love love your help on this one!
I want to send this guy (whom I love! He’s the best bf you could wish a friend to have! Except the lack of proposing, which he’s about to fix) - anyways, I want to send him some diamond options. Like most guys he has never shopped for jewellery. And he hates shopping. I would be so sad if he went to a brick and mortar establishment to make the purchase, because we all know that there’s a big markup. Anyways.
If you could help me find a stone that I could link him to, I would be *so* appreciative. And I promise to update this thread with photos one day!
He knows she loves big diamond solitaires. I don’t think he’d want to pay for more than 1ct, and I know she’d be really pleased with that size. It will be set in white gold or platinum.
The hunt:
Round
0.90-1ct
“I” colour or higher
Eye clean
Excellent cut
NOT a superideal - she is too sentimental to upgrade and also large diamond size is a strong preference here.
Personally I have a slight preference for James Allen, in terms of affordability and ease of website use.
If you find anything, thank you so much! He hasn’t told me a budget, so let’s just try and get him the best deal we can
Also... I feel like you’re involved in this saga now... my friend’s Mom has terminal cancer and I think that’s why her bf is willing to get married. It’s such a devastating situation and I want to do everyhing I can to shine some happiness on the good parts of the equation. In addition, this friend of mine is so incredible. She did my hair for my wedding and despite the fact that I had a super small wedding with no bridesmaids etc, she took it upon herself to plan me a bridal shower, she ran errands that needing running on the day of the wedding, and she showed up with Advil, bobby pins, safety pins, chapstick, moleskin (to protect feet from blisters), bandaids, mints, and who knows what else. She came up to me and showed me this haul and was like, “Just so you know, I have all this in case you need something.” What an angel!!! She made my day so perfect.
I’m rambling but what I mean to convey is that she’s a really incredible person to have gone to such trouble to make sure my day was perfect, and she NEVER threw any shade my way despite the fact that I got married after 2 years of dating my guy and here she is coming up to year 9. She is THE BEST and I can never repay her for her kindness but I’m sure gonna try! Thanks in advance for your help!
