Dear forum:
I would like to buy an engagement ring for my future wife, and would gladly appreciate your advice.
I have visited a number of mall stores and a local Robbins Brothers. I found the staff at Robbins Brothers to be extremely helpful and the customer experience excellent. So excellent, in fact, that I was almost ready to go ahead and buy a diamond ring from them next week.
My future wife told me that she likes round diamonds, and we decided on a solitaire ring, silver or white gold. I looked through Robbin's brothers, and picked this ring, and a 1 carat diamond, which I found to be beautiful: http://s7d5.scene7.com/is/image/RobbinsBros/0001030_T?$large$ -
Luckily, someone suggested that I read through this site before I made my decision, and I'm very glad that I did.
I would really like to get the best diamond that I can, and based on my research online, it turns out that Robbin's Brothers may not be the best option. I also took a look through bluenile this morning, but I am worried that their pictures are not very clear. Could you guys kindly make a recommendation for me to get the type of ring that I linked above? Of course, I am looking for the best cut (and color as well, granted the ring will be white gold or silver). My budget is about $5,000, but I could go a few hundred over, if need be. I would like to get a 1CRT. Thank you very much for your help! (FYI - I actually have an appointment at Robbins Brothers tomorrow morning!)
