you know what the difference between a wedding and a funeral is? At your wedding you get to smell your own flowers lol and every wedding comes with 3 rings the engagement ring, the wedding ring and the life long suffering. The one thing that i will make sure of is that diamond the is of high quality since it will be cheaper to upgrade the bands than the diamond in the future.

I think you might need to drop the ct. weight if you're going to be around $4k. You'd be surprised at what going down to .9-ish can do. Quality is better than quantity in most cases.

Well, for reference, a 1.18C, VVS1, F ring (with tiny diamonds along the band) goes for $21,800USD a couple years ago.

In the setting the 1ct looked small and the 1.5 over-powered it. 1.25 was the nice compromise.

1. I'm not too keen on the shape, but I'm not the one that would be wearing it. You need to find out what your future fiancee would like. You need to get a good deal on a ring she will like, not get her a ring just because you got a deal
2. Stay away from the mall and department stores. They regularly have 40%+ off sales - and still make healthy profits. That should tell you that they are ALWAYS over priced for fine jewelry.

Uhm....not really at this point. I need to stay reasonable, we just bought a place. Definitely nothing north of 8, would like to stay around or less than 4K which can pick up a decent 1.25....with searching maybe something more.
I'm really trying to stay positive in this process! This isn't helping.

I'm back revisiting this subject.
So after months of thinking and finally receiving my tax credit, I'm back in the market.
Anyone know of decent places to get saphire rings?
I'm looking for something similar to this:
Any insight on where to shop? It needs to be a blue stone though.

^I've changed my mind once in the last 3.5 months and only because she specifically told me that she doesn't want a traditional diamond and gave me a picture of a ring that she likes.
It's not a very easy process for me to pick out what she really likes but I know for sure I do not want to take her with me.

That's a gorgeous ring. And don't expect it to be cheap. Emeralds, rubies, and sapphires cost a pretty penny when they're large with few inclusions and good color. That's a big stone. And those diamonds look pretty darn colorless.
I'd take that as an engagement ring any day and twice on Sundays.

the blue one is very pretty, you can also check out bidz.com they have rings for a pretty good price, just make sure that you know all about the clarity and color of the diamond

NOTE: The pink one is for reference of what she likes... She basically expressed to me that it's the TYPE of ring that she wants but with a blue stone.

IMO, both of those rings are a bit too busy for my liking. This is what I got my fiancee:
It's got a bit more "flair" than a standard solitare, but it's not too busy. It looks better in person actually than the pictures.
But of course, that's just my and my fiancee's choice. If your girl has a design that she likes, go with it because ultimately she's going to be the one wearing it.

Oh, and Good Luck! Also, I really suggest you look at some rings in person, because a picture doesn't always give you the best idea of what it looks like in person. For example, they often show rings with huge stones on it to look nice, but if you aren't getting the same size stone then it may not look good.

I actually have a round 1.51 ct, D clarity, SI3, VG/VG for sale. EGL certified. I can take a pic and text it to you, don't have a digital camera since I left it at the girl's house when I left her crazy ass. I paid $7950 for it, trying to sell it for $4750. It's just the diamond though.
