New to Forum: Engagement Ring Purchase

[Apache67]

Hi Folks,

I am looking for help with purchasing an engagement ring. My budget is $4500. I am looking for a princess cut solitaire on a comfort fit platinum band. Hoping for a carat size between .9 - 1.2

Can somebody provide some links to a reputable online dealer/jeweler for such a ring? And links to actual rings as well?

Thanks in Advance!!
G

Comfort fit band options...do you have to have platinum?

Not finding much that fits in your price range...these are nice. Be sure to look at the mm size and not the carat weight to know which stones are bigger.

If you could drop down to white gold these fit in your budget

Whiteflash has a very nice upgrade policy it you think that might be important in the future (full amount and basically cost more than what you bought).
I believe at JA you have to spend twice as much as your original stone.
