Nice!!! V nice!!

I'm planning to propose soon... am looking at Lazare... still not very sure which one to get though...between Lazare and Forevermark.

well I go for the quality of the stones not the brand name.
my spouse has a F color, ideal cut, VVS2, 0.51ct stone on plat ring from a online store, wedding ring (eternity band) from T&C (ouch) and a simple plat ring from bluenile.com.

Hi all,been following this thread for a certain time already. and now its my turn to ask some questions as been planning to propose next year.

My budget is arond 4-5k for the ring. Any idea how many carats i can get or any suggestions based on my budget?

Thanks.

5k budget if u want a Plat ring that will eat up like 80% of the budget leaving no room for a stone.
U may want to get white/yellow gold and get a nicer stone.
U maybe looking at ~0.3ct, G/H color, VS1 or VS2, excellent or ideal cut.

don't know buying online is taxable, but prices are generally better online even after shipping.

There is HCA too
http://www.diamond-cut.com.au/holloway_cut_adviser.htm

some white gold ring is Rhodium plated and the prong is plat, making the ring looks better. little touches.
GIA vs AGS.. what is excellent cut in GIA vs ideal cut in AGS.

Tiffany - that style 6 prong style

just a personal view....

its not like your future wife gonna compare her ring with her friends all the time.
so without diamonds placing side by side for comparison viewing,
therefore, its physical size & color is hard to tell.

i'd say buy the rock with 1st priority on its Size and fits within your budget.
normally girls likes it big....

U replying to a 2010 post about 4 yrs late.
States standard is min 1ct stone, but many shine yellowish or blue yucks.

It really depends on individual some quality over size.

This retailer down south is extremely popular

trust me when ladies wants to compare... size comes 1st...
see even u agreed... u mentioned size 1st

Mention 1st is to agree? Some logically induction here.
U lady or u saw many comparing? Trust u base on what?
Must ppl trust u?

States as in usa, ppl believe the cost of a ring is min 3x ones monthly income b4 tax
