Hi all! I've been a member here a long time but I feel pretty out of the loop on the current diamond landscape!
My BFF is about to get engaged and I have offered to help her boyfriend. But I am feeling lost myself!
They are looking for a simple princess cut, solitaire or super thin setting with pave or the like.
Here is the kicker - budget is $1000. She likes smaller stones, and we looked at maul stores today. They had a few options that seemed ok, and I was thinking surely I could find a better price, etc online but I've looked around a bit and am shocked at how high metal/simple tiffany settings are!!
Would any of you be able to help? Any good ideas I am missing? Current site people are loving?
Also - I seem to remember there being a "why buy online" thread, etc but can't seem to find them now, I wanted to link him so he doesn't think I am nuts for steering him away from the maul.
TIA!!!
