Vera Wang LOVE Collection 2 CT. 14K White Gold

[dianaseattlec]

Hello all,
I was thinking to get the Vera Wang LOVE Collection 2 CT. T.W. Diamond Frame Split Shank Engagement Ring in 14K White Gold from Zales for my 5 year anniversary. The characteristics of the ring are the following:
Stone Type Diamond
Stone Shape Round
Diamond Total Weight (CT. T.W.) 2
Center Stone T.W. 1
Diamond Color H - I
Diamond Clarity SI2 - I1
Gold Karat 14K
Standard Ring Size 6.5
Lifetime Diamond Commitment Yes
Metal Color White
Metal Type Gold
Stone Color White
Price $9500

I do not know anything about diamonds and not sure if it is ok to buy a ring that is not certified for that price! I love the ring but I am concerned about spending so much money in something that may not be worth it. I appreciate all your help

Not worth it. What's the ring look like? I'm sure there are similar rings out there that are a much better value. For one it doesn't mention anything about cut. Cut should be the first thing you're looking at.

No way would I pay that much for that ring in 14kt.

Diamonds are poor quality at SI2-I1, and if not certified, that is probably optimistic. We can absolutely help you replicate that ring with a better quality setting and a far better quality diamond. Niel has already posted one option and there are many designers that make a setting like that. You would be overpaying for what you'd get with that ring. Please let people here help you find a good setting and diamond to go in it!

Gabriel and Co has many other halo settings besides the one Niel posted and Good Old Gold carries them.
