As a last minute request for Christmas, my girlfriend told me she would like a rolling ring. I didn't know much about them so I did some research last night and found out that Cartier is basically the originator of the rolling ring. While researching, I noticed that Blue Nile has a couple rolling rings (http://www.bluenile.com/keyword_content_check.jsp?qt=rolling+ring) as well. I'm a brand whore myself as is my girlfriend, however, like most women, she likes shines things. Looking at the Cartier website, I see that the cheapest rolling ring I can get with diamonds is $2,375, which, unfortunately, is more than I can dish out considering the money I'm spending on other gifts. Looking at the Blue Nile site, I see I can get a tri-color rolling ring with diamonds for $1,250, although the diamonds aren't of the highest quality. In a woman's opinion, would I be better off going with the classic Cartier rolling ring with no diamonds or the Blue Nile rolling ring with diamonds, even though the diamonds are minimal and not the clearest?
On top of that, is it worth $450 more to get the Cartier rolling ring that has the brand name etched on it? I would imagine that the name would be so small that it would hardly be readable, making the $450 extra not seem all that much worth it. Correct me if I'm wrong, please. And, are rolling rings true to size? If my girlfriend wears a size 7 rings, will she be a size 7 for a rolling ring? I can't exactly take her to the store with me to try it on. It's supposed to be a surprise. Would Cartier allow me to replace it for another size if it didn't fit her, or am I left with what I purchased since it's a rolling ring and is prone is scratches from the movement and is considered "used" as soon as it's tried on?

), but I did have the chance last month to try on a variety of sizes of the Cartier tri gold trinity rings while in Las Vegas and there are pics and prices posted here:
