Hi all -
My name is Bill, and I am in the market for an engagement ring -- I finally talked to her dad and so am now in the serious market... I have read the forums here for quite some time and explored quite a few of the vendors represented here and have learned a ton.
Question 1: I am not able to be homr during the day to receive FedEx... problem is that if I buy online and can only ship it to my card billing address (completely understandable, don''t get me wrong), what is a solution?
I am in the market for a princess cut, about 1-1.2 carat, F-G, VS2 or so.... any ideas?
Question 2: I went to my first Brick and Mortar yesterday to see some thing first hand... I saw the following and wanted your opinion:
1.14 carat
F
VS2
Table: 81.4%
Depth: 78.6%
I have some of the other numbers, but not with me -- the were at $5950 for that stone.
I know that the table and depths are off a bit, but it lokoed nice and all... it seems that I would pay about 500-600 more (and tax) over what I would pay on the net... does this sound right?
OK, enough for now -- I appreciate any advice/information you can give me - I will check back in with more questions I am sure...
Oh, here''s one... I am in Modesto, CA... any rexxxxble appraisers/jewelers that anybody can recommend in the general area?
Thanks for everything!
