I have been lurking on these forums for quite a while now and really appreciate all that you all have to offer. My FF and I are finally ready to make the big purchase and I was hoping for some opinions from you all.
Two years ago we found a ring that I fell in love with but he just wasn''t ready to make the purchase. Since then we have "visited" the setting on a regular basis and I hadn''t waivered from this one. A few weeks ago he decided that it was time so we visited the setting one more time and then started shopping for a cushion cut stone.
In the process of shopping for a stone, a local jeweler pulled out a custom set cushion cut ring that I think is the most beautiful ring I have ever seen. It was out of our price range but I think that with some dealing and a little padding to our budget it can be within reach.
Now here is my dilemma....I always thought that the way to go was to purchase the setting and the ring separately. So here is this ring that is calling my name that is all ready to go. The stone has a GIA cert and is in a custom platinum setting. What are you opinions on buying a pre-set ring?
