show me your ring and then tell me how much you spent!
well.....some people don''t mind and some do. most of us here have a pretty good idea on the price of loose stones but, for custom settings....any amount is posssible.Date: 4/14/2006 6:59:36 PM

Thing is you weren''t specific in your first post. It didn''t go over very well now did it?? If you want people to post their radiants and say how much they paid, maybe they will and maybe they won''t. If you ask nicely, maybe they will. Loose the attitude. JMHO.Date: 4/15/2006 7:04:50 PM

First of all if you have a problem with the post then don''t answer. This is a forum about diamonds, if you don''t like my questions then don''t post an answer. it''s not as if i would go up to someone on the street and ask them but people come on here to learn and gather information. get over it.
I understand that I can look up diamonds and see other people''s on here. I am specifically looking for radiant cut diamonds and I wanted to get an idea of what a ring would look like with a certain amount of carats and how much people paid. there are plenty of pictures of peoples rings but no prices and i was trying to get an idea if i liked the ring how much it would cost.
Wow! That was written in a very rude tone. And you are wrong. If you look through old post you will find that people often listed the prices the stones were as part of asking if the stone ought to be bought.Date: 4/15/2006 7:04:50 PM

There is a better way to get the answers you are looking for. Offending people is not one of the ways. Would you feel better if no one answered your post and you didn''t even know why? We''re just trying to help.Date: 4/15/2006 7:04:50 PM

I think it''s funny that there is a thread in Brides World Wide, asking how much everyone spent on their wedding dresses and the thread got 82 posts and not one thinking that the question was rude,
uhhhh, this post was equally as rude as the first! You are more than welcome to go search for diamonds and get a sense of what they cost, right at the top of this page. I think you come off quite offensive when you demand this sort of information, rather than asking for it politely.Date: 4/15/2006 7:04:50 PM

It''s a good point you raise Ivana, that''s true. But everyone knows it''s difficult to plan a wedding, and people want to get a sense of whether the trend is to go with expensive, designer dresses or something less expensive. I think the ring is just a different story. A better way to phrase it might have been ''how much would a radiant of xxxxx size and specs go for? I don''t have a clue as to range of $ to spend and I was looking for ideas. How much do people typically spend?'' That might have gone over better.

the other question that is pertinent: when was the $$$ spent? obviously, a ring bought 2 years ago [even a year ago] was less expensive as diamond costs have gone up since then.
btw, interesting thread to read just from a purely sociological point of view.......i thought the original question might be considered abrupt but certainly not rude. eta: but not specific enough considering what is really being asked.
