Well, the time has come to look for an engagement ring. Trying to purchase something before a trip we will be making at the end of June. I have been reading these forums and getting as much info as possible to try make a decision, but help from you experts would be greatly appreciated.
I have between 8k-10k to spend. I would like to find a place I could get the setting and stone at so I don't have to deal with multiple vendors. So far I liked the Brian Gavin website as it already has the ASET and IS images for the diamonds and I can pretend I know what I am looking at when I see those images, haha. As far as settings go, I know she would like a band that has diamonds along the side as well, so I would like to get something similar to this French Pave setting I found on BlueNile: http://www.bluenile.com/build-your-...nt-ring-platinum_44723?elem=img&track=product
I would like to get a Hearts and Arrows Round or a simple round diamond. I have been looking in the .95 - 1 carat range, but not sure if I could get something bigger that is nice and within my price range. She has small hands and skinny fingers it seems as her ring size is 4.5. Not sure if anything bigger than a 1ct will look too big. I would be more interested in a nice cut than the size of the diamond as long as it doesn't go below .95ct.
Not sure what other information you guys would need to help, but just ask and I will try to answer as soon as I can.
Any help is appreciated and I will continue to read this site and do as much research as I can.
Thank you!!
