First off, I'd really like to thank the PriceScope community for all the informative posts!
We started shopping for an e-ring before we found PS & I'm so glad we didn't purchase til after we'd lurked a bit!
I was thrilled my sweety let me be a part of the ring building process- he wanted to make sure he got me something that we both luved. First we decided on a budget - an amount that could be swung without financing - and then we began the search...
We went to Tiffanys, Saks & other local B&Ms and then discussed the shape we liked best (princess) & the min clarity we felt cumfy with (VS2) & preferred color - after trying on D-Ks, our preference (well-cut) I-Js - they're so pleasing to my eye- completely captivating, such presence & personality.....
Cut, of course, was the most important factor.
After months of searching, we purchased the *ideal* center stone from Mark at Engagement Rings Direct & he created the bridal set of my dreams! (more posted in Rocky Talky under heading "Props to Mark @ EngagementRingsDirect.com" - thanks again Mark!)
The NY Appraiser said he couldn't remember seeing another as well-cut as our princess!
I did not get to see the finished product until my fiance proposed/swept me off my feet on April 5th in Bermuda, but I couldn't be more thrilled with the completed set (and to be engaged to my sweety)!!
E-ring center stone - Appraised as a 1A cut Princess (she's incredibly firey & blindingly brilliant):
