Help! First time ring shopping with strict deadline.

[bjar]

I'm running away and getting married in 3 weeks, so my time frame is short. I'm interested in a 5 stone diamond ring in white gold. Hoping to get something around 1.5 ct tw with the highest quality diamonds within my budget ($5000). In store I've found this ring to be ($7000-$10,000) to be out of my budget so I'm turning to the Internet. Blue Nile seems to have a good price in quality diamonds but unfortunately I don't like their one choice of setting for a 5 stone. Not sure what the terminology is but I don't like the open basket type setting I prefer it to be more of a smooth solid setting while still looking like a ladies ring (some are too boxy and feel like a men's class ring...ick). I feel like I've been all over the internet and with no luck. I'm certain that this exists but I don't have time to custom order anything. Help if you own something like this send pics, links and direct me where to go from here. Short on time and really appreciate any and all help and info!!!!

http://www.whiteflash.com/right-hand-rings/skye-five-stone-u-prong-diamond-right-hand-ring-570.htm price is for the setting only. Diamonds start at about $750 each (.35).

More options - again the price shown is for the band only:

I do think you can do it if you hurry. Call WhiteFlash first thing Monday. They specialize in well cut diamonds and have them cut to their specifications. You'll get a much better quality ring this way, and I think it can be done in your budget.

Do you like this setting? It says it can be completed in 10 business days.

I'll take a look and see what stones might work.

(okay...vrbeauty beat me to it...I was typing while she posted!)

Yep, WhiteFlash has a good supply of G-H VS2-SI1 diamonds on hand at .30-.31 cts. and averaging around $675 each. Any sales person can help you, but Traci is who has helped me often. They are on central time and located near Houston. You can try to call on Saturday because they may be open on Sat. since they now have a retail location. But if not, they will be there Monday.
