Hi all...
Thanks for taking the time to read this post.
So here's my situation. Met my current girlfriend a few yrs ago. Became "official" recently and nows the time to do what my name says. =P
Unfortunately, I'm not blessed with deep pockets, but I want to get her something she will love, because she definitely deserves it. I know I don't need to spend LOTS to get her something she'll like, but I want to make her happy, and however in my power it is to do, I will. (Aww.. too sappy.)
She's not the kind of person to be hung up on diamonds and jewelry, and even told me not get her anything "crazy" if I was ever to propose, but come on, she's a girl, and girls by nature can't deny the bling.
I want to get her something in the .8 - 1.0 carat range, ideal cut, E - I color, and VVS - VS clarity? I've done a fair amount of research and will probably shop around in the diamond district to see what they have to offer. I do want to consider buying online but am somewhat weary about it. How does the process work? I tried to "price" a diamond with the pricescope search, but how about the band, setting, etc? Do they just send me the diamond with which I then have to take to get a band for? HELP! =P
Also, I want to spend in the $4500 range... Is that even a reasonable (or possible) price for what I'm looking for?
Anything I can do to make her happy I guess...
Thanks for reading, and I hope to have a happy story to tell here in about a month when I visit her again and do the deed!
