Hi - I''m a newbie but have been lurking a little while. My fiancee and I visited Ashcroft & Oak last night in search of an engagement ring (he proposed a few months ago with a fake one since he wasn''t sure what i liked). I had always assumed I wanted a simple solitaire on a diamond band or simple solitaire with a plain band with a diamond anniversary band. However, in our search we found the following the ring:

Now, it looks kind of plain from the top view, but it is absolitely stunning on the side - it has other diamonds on the sides of the mounting and the metal is very intricate and delicate looking. I wish they had a picture of the side view. I completely fell in love with it and am surprised that I changed my view of the ideal wedding band I thought I had always wanted. However, I love vintage looking jewely and the mounting on this is very vintage inspired.
My question is that my fiancee and I have been doing our research but are so nervous to purchase the ring as want to go with someone trusted. I also love this setting so much that I am not sure i will find it anywhere else besides their chain of stores. Should we buy the setting at Ashcroft and get the diamond elsewhere? Or should we buy the whole piece there? Or do we try to find it somewhere else, knowing that I can only rely off my horrible memory for what the setting looked like from a side view??
Your advice and thoughts are much appreciated. Thanks!!
