Hi Everybody!
As an uninformed ring shopping newbie I have to say, this forum is awesome. I'm hoping you guys can give me some much needed advice as I try to find the perfect ring for my girlfriend.
I've spent the past few weeks shopping around for engagement rings, both in stores and online, and I stumbled upon the Micro Pave Halo Cushion cut. I keep coming back to it because I think it's exactly my girlfriend's style and she'll love it. The only problem is most of them are out of my budget. I'm a medical student and can really on swing about $3,500 for a ring. She's not expecting a massive diamond ring, in fact she's told me the only thing she cares about is what it stands for. That being said, I still want to surprise her with something that's beautiful, classy, and well-made.
So, is it even possible to find this style on my budget without it looking "off" or for lack of a better term cheap?
If so, who do I work with/how do I go about getting the ring?
If it's not, what are some other options?
