i've only looked into it a little bit...the color and clarity grading pretty much

better value if buying from a chain retailer rather than a local jeweler?

looking for something like this...

But I do know when you get the engagement ring you have to get a set, I'm not to sure on the details. Go to your local jewelery store and askedquestions.
 
i love how the camera follows her all the way out of the arena

then dude goes back to his seat w/ a beer...someone must've felt bad and bought it for him

alright, enough w/ the video
 
WOW at that vid... [kanye] how could you be sooo heartless! [/kanye] she coulda just took it then talked to him later and Ben is a jeweler he can get youwhatever style ring you want - will he do it is the question...prob too small of a job-
 
^not looking to get a ring from him or anything...i just know he could offer some advice or insight since he's in the jewelry business
 
Buy from a local spot for a better overall value.

I'm having a friend make mine and incorporating a design I want and meshing it with one I found online.
 
where are you located? I would never buy anything from a chain or a small local jeweler either, but I live in NY so I have people in the diamond district I buymy stuff from

the lowest youll want to go is SI 1 Clarity and G color, it will be cheaper then VS-F and look basically the same, as far as buying the diamond seperate fromthe ring, I dont really think youll get any better of a deal that way, most places will basically sell you the setting at cost anyways to get you to buy thestone since the setting isnt worth much to begin with in the grand scheme of things....

I bought my girls ring about 2 years ago so i know its a tough nervous decision when you go buy it...

so, a build your own ring deal? or buy the ring w/ the setting and purchase the center stone separately somewhere around my way?
 
its the same thing ^ or maybe you worded it wrong- the setting is all the metal/smaller diamonds and your main stone is your center stone- so what people aresaying is shop around for your setting...then buy a main stone and have it set in- look at bluenile.com for examples....
 
Here are a couple things to think about...

Do you want it certified(GIA)?

Is that the cut/setting your girl wants?

I bought one about a year ago. It's 1.68 carats VS2 G round brilliant cut set on a 18k white gold ring w/ a tiffany setting.
 
I went round, she doesn't get much of a say in that, because I'm adding stones from my grandmother's ring.....princess would have been my nextchoice had I not used the others.

Princess is fairly safe and common.

i live in PA...about 200 miles from NY

good deals in the diamond district?

just searched it today...i'd prefer to buy something a little more unique...something from a mom and pop shop rather than a ring at zales or something

looked at the online catalogs of a few places in my area and didn't really see anything
 
First off, congrats man, that's a real grown man step. Secondly, I went to Kays cause I have a credit account w/ them. I got my girl a 1/2 ct. round cut in14k for around $1300 after insurance and what not. My advice is don't go all out the first time cause u'll have a hard time beatin what u did the firsttime.
