First of all, Hello everyone! I''m Burke. I''m proposing to the love of my life for her birthday (4 days after Valentine''s day.) I got a store credit card for Kay and was overjoyed until I started researching (I like many others almost fell for the mall shop bs). So I can''t afford what my limit was by card for the over priced low quality Kay Jewelry... A few people I woked with used BlueNile and were very happy with their purchases. I noticed they take PayPal... I''ll get to that in a minute. I came up with the idea to buy a loose stone which was actually given to me by a Kay Jeweler we met because they were having a ''ring event'' next month where a guy comes in with settings and loose stones and makes custom rings for customers.... This is the more formal proposal, my lady has a diamond promise ring currently. The guy from Kay however gave me the idea of having a new ring made incorporating the old rings diamonds. Which to us seemed sweet and would make the ring more sentimental. Now back to Blue Nile, Blue nile accepts paypal, I have a credit line with paypal for $700 and I have $1000 coming in in the next few days from a tax return. My idea was to buy the best stone I could get for $1700... and for best stone I''m looking for something in the .60 or a little above. Some people are probably going to laugh at me, maybe not. I don''t know a lot about this stuff. but the number seemed reasonable to me. We''re not both incredibly wealthy people and we''re humble, we''re just two people in love starting out our careers and lives. But I would like to get her something or legit size/quality so we can then later one in a month or two get a band made using stones from the other ring. Is there anyone that could help guide me a bit? Or recommend somewhere to get a nice e-stone (someone who accpets paypal). Thanks guys I appreciate it very very much
 
so you want a princess?

When you look on WF, you want to look at their A Cut Above (ACA) princesses.
 
Yea, the other stones on the ring we want to eventually combine are princess as well. I feel like it would look silly having a round and 4 square accents. Are the ACA in my range for an adequate size?
 
Wow, I like that price... Do I just send a more information asking for additional pictures? When I do that, what am I looking for?
 
Just post the pictures here, or link us back to the page when pictures are posted. The ASET should maximize red color, with a delightful sprinkling of green and black.
 
How did you end up on that white flash? I''d be willing to spend double to get some more size with a comparable quality.
 
I am not sure that WF accepts paypal, have you checked that?

The diamond Julie linked is in their expert selection line. Just do a search using the pull down menus on the left of the screen on WF''s home page.
 
Yea, I just checked that, theres a icon near the bottom of the menu that says "Show now using PAYPAL" Seems like it''s a new feature by the wording. You guys are all great I can''t believe the quick responses and friendliness of everyone here! Thank you guys very much!
 
What is the pricescope wire price? "Pricescope wire price $1,814.50" That seems reasonable for only $100 more I could probably scrape up the extra $$ to order it.

It means you need to wire them the money from your bank and tell them you are from PS. You can still get a PS discount if you do not pay by wire.
 
You guys are seriously the best! Thanks so much!
 
You are welcome!

Hey again guys, a very nice woman from WhiteFlash called me this morning. I asked her for images of the stone when she informed me the 40x magnification image was on the page, which was:

Well nevermind, it''s not letting me attach an image, but the link is http://www.whiteflash.com/diamonds/zoom.aspx?ItemCode=160445 . I''m considering buying this very seriously. The only thing I''m concerned about is the ''J'' color... is this something that would be extremely noticible? I''m in love with the cut, i''m happy with the clarity, and I from my slim knowledge it seems like a reasonable price for the stone that Texirish showed me. I''d rather spend most to all of my budget since this is a life long commitment rather than be unhappy with my purchase a few years out and want to start all over again. The woman was very nice on the phone with me and I really feel confident doing business with WhiteFlash at this point.
 
::Update::

Well after speaking with the people at White Flash all afternoon, I''ve decided to go with the .708 ACA stone, and have it on hold pending funds I''m recieving on monday. :) I''m very excited Thank you guys for all your help!
 
Great choice! Congrats
