I am posting this on behalf of Lmurden as she is having problems posting pics
Finally I have pictures of my engagement ring. Unfortunately I can't figure out how to post the pictures. Oh well, no dramatic story to tell on the diamond search except that my fiancee' who is in the Navy Reserves had basically a 2 days notice that he would be deployed for training and then off to Iraq. This killed our budget and my engagement ring size went from about 1 carat to about 3/4 carat. The good news is that I am extremely happy with my ring. It is so beautiful! It sparkles like crazy and the compliments just keep coming. I said it before but I know for a fact that I would not have been able to get such a gorgeous ring if it were not for the price scope members advice and knowledge.
I got the ring from Blue Nile and they sent an in house appraisal but of course I had to have the ring checked out by a local appraiser. By the way I was trying to use one of the appraisers, Penney Jones?Napier that was listed on price scope but the number wasn't working right, so I had an appraisal done by D. Spadea who works up and down the east coast. He said that diamond is absolutely beautiful and that he does many appraisals on online jewelry venders. He asked me twice how much the diamond was ~:>) and was impressed! Thanks again.
