I''m thinking of buying this ring for my "girl"! She has mentioned more then once that she wants a princess cut set in white gold! What do you think??? Is this acceptable? If not, what are some suggestions!?!
To answer your question as to wether or not I am buying it as ne or in pieces I dont know!!! Should I buy them seperately!?!?!? Like you might have noticed I'm new at this and very nervous! Why wouldnt I but the stone and the setting from the same place.....obviously if they deal in only diamonds then I can see why I would need to find the setting elsewhere, but if not....should I still look somewhere else?
Actually what I meant was are you going to buy the stone loose then have it set. Doing this lets you get a higher quality of stone than may already be otherwise set at a retail jewelers or a mall jeweler. You can pre-select the stone and then most likely work with the vendor to secure the setting you want...or if they don't have it, go elsewhere. You have a few options if you don't just want to buy a pre-set ring with a stone already in it. Also then you can scrutinize your stone vs when its preset, sometimes you end up with flaws hidden under the prongs, etc. But if you want simplicity, find a good jeweler and check out their pre-set stuff. Just not a mall jeweler
and be sure to get certification and an independent appraisal when all is said and done.
