Hello All,
Long time lurker, first time poster here! I have learned so much about diamonds and jewelry from the information gathered on PS. You all are very well informed. So much so that when visiting the large name B&M jewelers, I actually knew more than representatives helping me from the knowledge I’ve gained on this forum! I seriously cannot thank you enough.
While I’ve learned a great deal, I still am not entirely confident. My boyfriend and I know we will get engaged sometime in the near future. I’ve began making a cheat sheet for my boyfriend for the engagement ring buying process. While I want to be completely surprised whenever he decides he’s ready to propose, we thought it was important for me to at least share a few of my preferences for different styles of rings and diamond characteristics. This is a HUGE purchase after all!
We had seen a few diamonds in person and he loved the size of a 2 carat. I’ve also shared some of the amazing rings from PSers with him, and he has become obsessed with the Emilya. It is one of the few rings that he’s actually reacted to (we both want to love whatever ring is selected). He was completely wowed. I mean, who doesn’t love the Emilya? We know that the Emilya may be out of our reach so have also considered halo settings from some of the other PS approved vendors like BE, DK, SK, etc (though SK and LM may also be out of budget). We have set a budget of about 15K. There is some cushion in there.
With all of that being said, do you all think it is feasible to get an excellent cut, 2 carat (or something close), I color, eye clean RB diamond in a beautiful, delicate halo setting within our budget? Wishful thinking, huh? We’ve also considered getting a simpler setting for now, and perhaps upgrading in the future. But this wouldn’t be ideal. Looking forward to your insight!
