Ok I have made up my mind, I need help finding a ring ASAP!

[rmpagejr3]

Ok well I am a college student and have decided that it is time to propose to my girlfriend. I think it is best to get her something I can afford right now and in a year when I have my first job, splurge on something that she really deserves. I am looking to spend roughly 1600 bucks on the diamond and the ring, I know it is not much, but it is just time. If you guys could point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it. I am looking for a round diamond and just a simple solitaire setting in platinum or white gold. Looking to order today so any help is much appreciated. Thanks!!

If I may offer a suggestion...

You've done yourself a great deal of good by finding pricescope.com. The people here are a WORLD of knowledge and will help you find a ring for a lot cheaper price with much better quality than you'll find at a local jeweller. You would do yourself and your soon to be fiance a better service if you gave the local experts (I'm not one of them - I came here for help just like you) a little more than just this afternoon to help work on your project.

If you can't spare a few days or a week most any of the pricesciope vendors will best be able to help you over the phone.

PriceScope vendors can be found by clicking here.

Good luck!

I should add:

BGD - Hearts and Arrows!!!!
0.56 carat H-SI1

That diamond applies for their return/upgrade policy which, it sounds like something you'd like to take advantage of in the future.

I think that Brian Gavin diamond is gorgeous, and would look great in a simple knife edge setting from James Allen!

$1600 engagement ring is nothing to sneeze at especially with one of the beautiful stones recommended.

this will be a lovely ring. I''d get the .56 BGD in their classic tiffany knife edge, it would put you at $1800 but they might be able to work with you a little and it will be a stunning ring.

Alternately, to stay in budget, I quite like the James Allen 2.1mm timeless setting and the Whiteflash full of surprises (one of my faves!)

this is totally do-able to get an amazing ring for $1600...

Suggest looking at eBay for a second hand ring You can get very nice rings for a good price if you know what to look for.
