Hello, fellow PS''ers!
I''m a newbie in desperate need of your help and guidance (pretty please )
.
I am needing to get my engagement ring very, very soon (if possible, within these next few days
). I''ve been reading this forum religiously ever since I first discovered PS and feel so fortunate to have found you all and just the wealth of information that is available here. I am completely amazed at how helpful and supportive everyone (members, vendors, gemologists, etc.) is here and how quick the response time is!
And, on that note, it''s come down to that time where I now seek your wisdom and advice as well as any input you''d like to share with me. After doing my own reading and research, I''ve tried to narrow down my search to several diamonds that I am now considering purchasing. (I''ve included links with each corresponding diamond.)
The vendors I''m considering buying from are JA and GOG. GOG has been exceptionally helpful in returning my emails. They have so much info about each diamond available to view, which is great, but I haven''t found a setting on their website that I would want for my ering. I''m really focused more on the diamond as I plan on getting just a simple setting for this ring. JA is reasonably priced and they have several settings that I like and can choose from. Also, I am planning on upgrading in 2 years (hence the simple setting for now), so that''s something I''m keeping in mind as well.
Basically, what I''ve found below falls within my budget (around $5K). Anything similar to the diamonds below is what I''m looking for, so if there''s something that I''ve overlooked or a diamond that you would like to suggest, please feel free to let me know.
Thank you everyone in advance!!
PS: I can’t wait until I can join you all in posting up a picture of my very own sparkly!
