Hey everyone,
I was thinking that since diamond prices are so high right now, it would be a good idea to set my .6 RB heirloom stone and use it for an engagement ring. Kinda untraditional, I know, for a girl to basically provide her own diamond. I've already found out that BlueNile will not set diamonds that aren't theirs. Are most other companies willing to do this? (White Flash, Brian Gavin, etc). Also, I have no idea about the process involved with getting a stone set. Can anyone recommend some good people to look into, share experiences etc?
These diamond prices are really a downer for those of us wanting to get engaged soon. I don't want to throw too much money away on a setting because later on, when we can afford a 1+ carat stone, it wouldn't fit in the setting holding my 0.6 would it? At the same time I want to get a setting that I love because who knows how long it will be until that "upgrade". I'm just trying to figure out a way to do this without spending too much money! I'm not into diamond upgrade policies because I have sentimental attachments to stones. Even a .5-.75 these days would break the bank anyway!
/rant over. Thanks in advance!
