Hello all,
I have been lurking here on Pricescope for about 2 months now and from what I can tell this is a really excellent website. Hopefully you can provide some insight for a diamond rookie looking to become engaged within the next six months. As for a little background, my name is Kyle and I just turned 21. I have been with my girlfriend for 4 years now and the time has come to move on to the next step in our relationship. I have done a lot of diamond and setting research and feel like I am moderately knowledgeable so far. We have talked a lot about rings and I am confident that I know what she likes, however I need some help to make it all happen. Here is what I''m up against:
She is only interested in Round and Princess cut diamonds. The ring has to be white gold or possibly platinum. She was mostly interested in 3 stone rings until her sister became engaged last year and received your typical three stone princess cut ring, so now that idea is out of the window. The ring has to be unique in some way and my budget is going to be somewhat flexible around $5000-$7000.
To give you an idea of something that I consider unique I am going to reference a ring that I discovered here in the "Show Me the Ring" section which is owned by Pricescope member "Emmsna" and can be seen at this link: https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/my-engagement-ring.115496/
I really like this ring but I''m hoping to be able to have a center stone that is around 1 ct (possibly a little bit larger?). "Emmsna''s" ring was custom made as you can see and I have no idea how I would go about finding a custom jeweler to replicate the design or anything like that so I need direction in that area.
Otherwise I am completely open to all suggestions on settings (or anything else for that matter) so please help me in my quest for a ring that will blow her away.
Thanks,
Kyle
