I’m just seeing this thread and love that you were able to see the ring in person with your partner. And I agree with @lavenderdragonfly23 - when you know, you know. I’m not going to offer advice on your budget, obviously, except it’s a significant jump in your original plan so clearly it’s something you will have to consider. But if you’re asking for my opinion (of which I have many and happily share whether it matters or not ), I think you’ve found her. The setting you love will looking amazing with it, the size is perfect for your finger, and any antique stone has so much personality and history that makes them unique and not cookie cutter.
Only you two can ultimately decide if she’s worth the splurge but if you’re asking that stranger on the internet (me, but I promise I’m nice and not a serial killer), then I say, if the real life version made you love it just as much, you have your answer. If you saw it and had any twinge of disappointment compared to your expectations, you might want to move on and find “the one.” After all, it took you two awhile to realize you were meant to be, so it only makes sense that the symbol of your commitment might take awhile to show themselves.
