Hello! I have been lurking for a while. My boyfriend and I have decided that we will be getting engaged toward the end of the year (decemberish I think). We have gone in several jewelry stores and I have tried on different types of things and here is what I am finding:
I am a size 5.5 (I always thought I was a 7)
BF thinks I need between 1.5 and 2 carats
I love cushion cuts
So far, I like Christopher Designs, JB Star, Simon G (I have not seen these in a store-only online)
I like rings that have a lot going on, but not the traditional 3 stone ring.
I like yellow and pink diamonds when they are small accents.
We found a jeweler in CT who can create jewelery based on a description we give him, or he can make it from a picture we bring in so we think this is the best option (opinions??)to save on the price.
We live in CT but work in NY and we will be going into the city tomorrow to do some real looking. I have no idea where to start because I have heard that some of the traditional stores on 5th are not trustworthy vendors.
I know based on the online selection of firenze that I''d like to stop by.
I''m sorry if I posted this to the wrong forum-I am really not sure where to be posting and where to start. All input is appreciated!!!!!!!
Thanks!!!!!!!
Oh yeah, I went in tiffanys and expected something different. I was not blown away by the selection and I felt that the pricing was terrible when compared with pricing at other stores.
