Mixed news here. He admitted that he is having a hard time bringing himself to spend that much money ($4700) on a ring. (he is very practical -- usually something I am very pleased about) After researching here and on some of the suggested websites, I have come to the conclusion that I would be much happier with loose diamonds that I pick set just for me.
He thinks that is a good idea because that would let him purchase a diamond or two at a time. Do it in small (I didn''t think it was a good time to mention the prices I''m looking at) chunks so that the price doesn''t feel as high.
He knows that the price will be at least as much doing it this way but somehow he would feel better about smaller checks. (men are strange)
I''m fine with this. I can get better quality stones and just the right setting (maybe even custom) and not have to compromise to bring the price down for him.
Does anyone have any favored place to buy loose diamonds? I don''t mind online as long as they are reliable.
I would love to go look at some in person too. I''m in the Seattle area (Bellevue).
