Cocochanel, I, too, would be skeptical of buying something as important as a new engagement ring off ebay. I know it''s taking a LONG time to find any good OEC''s, but I think looking around will definitely be worth it in the end. I agree that there aren''t enough pictures on the web page. Have you found any local antique jewelry dealers in your area? Many times they have some beautiful antique engagement rings, it just takes some work to find them. If you have a local antique warehouse or auction center, sometimes you can get little brochures that include information about antique dealers and jewelers in the area. That way you could look at the stones yourself. This was the way that I found a antique jeweler in my hometown, where I got my RHR.
