no bro, go quality over quantity....seriously

your probably right... but i just want something that stands out....... ya know, something that puts her sisterinlaws, and friends rings to shame..... i guess thats being kinda stuck up though

[pucknutz78]

its not stuck up, its good, but it you go with quality, it will sparkle a lot better and look nicer than a big, dull stone, if you know what i mean.

yeah i hear ya... .93-1ct no big difference... 1ct-1.5 should be pretty noticible though.... i guess this is something i need to make more of a decision on when im actually looking at the rings...... kinda hard to decide on something like this in just theory....

I don't thik it is stuck up....I think it just means you are proud of you girl and the symbol of love and committment that you got for her. I would be the same way w/o a doubt.

Nice signature.

Start off on the ring building websites and you can get an idea and an education before you go to a store and they try and feed you bullshit.

yeah i have already been doing this...... I wonder how big of a deal you get by going through the internet? I just dont feel comfortable buying something like this, unless i can actually hold it and look at it first.....

i'd rather have a 1ct with better quality than a 1.5ct with midrange quality.

buy it from www.diamond.com They having the cheapes prices and are all certified stones. As for settings I would look at www.tacori.com Women love those settings. Good luck.

My suggestion is to ask your girl what she prefers. Although she has stated that she likes the princess cut, figure out if she wants a solitaire (bigger diamond), or if she'd like to have the baguettes around a smaller center stone. Let her decide. After all, she's the one that's going to be ultimately wearing it everyday for presumably the rest of her life.

One of my favorite local designers (in Colorado) is John Atencio. Check out his site for ideas and inspiration (www.johnatencio.com) and if you ever find anything you really like from a disgustingly overpriced designer, copy the design and take it to a custom jewler that will make it the way YOU (rather: SHE) wants it.
