Hello this is my first post but I have been patrolling this site for almost a month. I have to say this is the best informational site I have found and I now feel much more comfortable in my purchasing power and completely overwhelmed at the same time!! On to the question... I am ready to start my search for the perfect diamond and setting however I don''t know if I can get what I need in my current timeline. My girlfriend and I are going away on our one nice vacation per year and we are leaving next weekend 8/11. My job is extremely demanding so I have very little free time. Would it be possible to start looking this weekend 8/4, 8/5, and have the ring completed and in hand before 8/10? I really do not want to miss the opportunity of this romantic vacation, however I do not want to waste my time if I can not get it done in time. I am a more hands on kind of guy and live right outside of Philadelphia, so for this purchase the online dealers are out. I would need to find the rock and setting, get it apprasied, and have it set all in less than a week. What does everyone think? Should I go for it or should I just put it off for a later date?
Thank you,
