Hello Pricescope,
I finally decided to take the plunge and get married. I''ve been doing my research at all the stores for months, going back and forth on engagement rings. However, I decided to do more research online, and found pricescope (what a blessing and a curse at the same time!) Now, I''m too picky and have caused delays in purchasing my ring. However, thanks to all the forum advice and FAQs on pricescope, I''ve been able to make a better decision and get similar, if not better, stones online/jewelers.
She said she wanted at least 1.0 carat, and I set my budget based on the prices at B&M stores. However, thanks to pricescope, I have been able to look at diamonds as big as 1.5 carats, while still maintaining the other "C"''s and staying within my budget! However, I am now looking for some advice as I have narrowed my search. I''d love to buy her a larger stone, especially since it is within my budget; however, I really want to know which stone I buy is the best value. In your opinion, which one is that and why?
