First Time Engagement Ring shopper!

[amccarthy91]

Hi all,

I am so thankful I stumbled across this website, it has helped me tremendously in learning about diamonds and the various things to look for. I am hoping you all can give me any additional pointers before I go through with any purchases!

So my girlfriend and I went to a B&M store to get her sized and to look at various styles to see what kind of preferences she had. But, after coming to this site and researching, I am definitely leaning towards purchasing online. I am just out of school, so my budget is capped at about 4000ish for the ring and diamond. I am looking at a pretty simple band with some sidestones, but really want to knock it out of the park with the diamond by maxing on cut and brilliance.

After looking a lot, this is the ring and diamond I"m looking at:

http://www.eternitybyyoni.com/engag...ah-Diamond-Engagement-Ring-(.19-ctw.)-340.htm

Are these good choices? And does anyone have experience with Eternity by Yoni? I am a little concerned because I tried to view the certificate online for the diamond, and the link didn't work. Also, there weren't many pictures of the ring (or information on how many mm the band is). When I called the number listed at the site to find out about these things, it rang and went to a verizon message saying the call couldn't be completed.

Any guidance? Or similar bands/diamonds that I should look at on other sites?

Thanks!!
