Hello Everyone!
My first post, I've been reading a lot trying to get an education on diamond buying here, I appreciate all the content and help and education you all provide.
After much shopping around, my girlfriend has decided she likes this Tacori ring: style #2621ECSM

Now I have to get an emerald cut diamond for it. I'm not quite sure if I need to get the ring first or the diamond first. When we were looking around 47th street in New York a week ago and we were told to get the diamond first, so now I need to find one that will work with that ring.
I don't know if there are any online shops that I could order that ring from and get a good price. I was kind of hoping I could get the whole thing for less than $5k, but I don't know how realistic that is. I was hoping I could find a deal online which is why I'm here. I want to get her something nice, but still try to stay in my budget. She's got her heart set on a 1 carat minimum size diamond and Tacori ring, she wanted platinum but I think that's way outside my budget.
I'm not comfortable buying online, but will do it if it will help me get what we want. I've been to a few stores here in California, and in New York, and I can't help feel like I'm being looked at like a sucker. I see the prices of what they are quoting for stones, and what similar things go for online, and its a big difference. All I want is someone who is going to give me good service and a decent price so I can get this done, I can't count the number of people I walked away from because they were trying to push crap on me at a high markup. So frustrating.
Any help anyone can spare that can steer me to a good place to order that ring and get a nice 1 carat emerald cut diamond to put in it would be much appreciated!
Thanks!
