Hi there, I have been lurking for a while and now feel like I know enough about diamonds and settings to be able to join and start my journey to the perfect engagement ring! Although, you can never quite know enough, huh?
I would like to propose to my girlfriend of 4 years sometime before August, and although she has no idea, I have been doing some homework and have weaseled some hints out of her thanks to her best friend and her sister! In fact, her sister relayed to me that while casually talking to my girlfriend about engagement rings, she (my gf) brought up a picture online of the exact ring she wished she could have. Her sister showed it to me later that week, and THIS is what my girlfriend wants!
Now, there is no way in heck I am going to buy from Kay, but I am having some trouble finding something similar to this online. I''d like to have it be the same style as this so that she can fit 2 bands, one on either side. My budget is around $3000, a little more is okay, &3200 max. I''m guessing with that budget I''ll be able to maybe do this with a 1/2ct center, maybe a tad smaller. Which is fine, she has slender fingers and the frame around the center would make it larger on her hand anyway.
Do you think I will have to have this setting custom made? I''m just having a hard time finding something online. All the mall stores have things comparable to this, go figure!
Also, does anyone have something similar to this? If so, how do you like it?
