I normally would not look at jewelry at Macy''s or other department stores, as I don''t think it''s of very high quality and is pretty overpriced. However, I was buying a watch today and was browsing through the clearance section as I was rung up when this ring caught my eye. The price was originally $1200 (laughable), but the clearance price was $300, which I thought was a reasonable deal. My DD''s birthstone is citrine and I have had my eye on something similar (very large citrine in simple 4 prong yellow gold setting). The window is not nearly as noticeable in real life as in the photo. It is completely returnable, so if you think I can do better, please feel free to give honest opinions. I know I could get a better cut stone by going to one of the precision cutters and buying a setting separately, but that is a lot more work and I am inclined to keep this one if it is not a total ripoff/piece of junk. Interestingly, the tag on the ring is not a Macy''s tag, and it says "consignment" - not sure what that means as I didn''t think Macy''s sold on consignment. Anyways, let me now what you think.
