Hello Everyone!
First, I just want to say that I'm very happy to have come across a forum like this, and I just want to thank everyone in advance for taking time to help me. I'll get right to it: I do not know much about diamonds, other than the little information that I have gleaned over the internet, much of which revolves around the four C's. All I know is that I love my girlfriend very much and I want to propose to her, but I want to give her a ring that she loves. My problem is that my budget is not high ($5000 after tax for the entire ring--that is, diamond and setting together; preferably, a little below that). My biggest fear is that I purchase a ring that was not worth what I paid, when I could have bought something much better for the same price. I need your help as I don't know anything about depth %, table %, angles, etc. I would like you guys to help me get something that's very good quality for that price since I don't know much about diamond specifics. I don't feel comfortable buying anything without having the support of people that know much more, like the people here. From what I've gathered, my girlfriend wants a micro pave halo ring (I think that's how you say it) in a round shape. Something similar to this:

I tried attaching images as examples from users on here as well (I hoped it worked, if not it's from this link:

). Of course, I understand, it will not be that big (She'll be happy with anything, I'm thinking around .7 center carat for diamond). Thanks in advance to everyone. I"ll take any suggestions, similar rings, websites, price quotes, etc, any help will be greatly appreciated). I just want to buy something similar that has good diamond specifics (like cut, sparkle, radiance, %s, angles--none of which I know about) and that I know my hard earned money was worth it. But budget is not big, but it's all I have. Thanks!
