Thank you all! I posted awhile back, asking for help finding an engagement ring that my boyfriend could afford and I would like. We looked and looked and looked some more, and eventually went with Blue Nile. We liked their positive reviews. It also helped my confidence that they generally received positive comments on Pricescope. I don''t have the ring yet to show, as my boyfriend just bought it last night, but we got a 1.01 carat round, VS2, H; very good cut, symmetry and polish; with medium flourescence, depth 59%, table 56%, girlde medium to thin, and cutlet none. I had it set in a platinum half bezel, because I''m a total klutz and have already managed to chip and crack diamonds on a right hand ring. I would have had NO IDEA what any of the diamond specs meant had I not spent three months lurking here, reading everything, and I''m sure if I had spent more time I would have learned more and had an even harder time finding a diamond, because the choices are overwhelming when I learned more. I thought it would be easier when I knew more, but that sure wasn''t the case.
I''ve never met a nicer group of people. Everybody was helpful and kind, and everybody is respectful and encouraging to the other posters on the site. I really enjoyed my time here, even though I didn''t say much, and I want to thank everybody for answering my questions, providing such great information, and being so nice.
When I get the ring I''ll try to post a picture. Sometimes when I look at the beautiful rings here, designed and made by the top in the field, I think mine will look so plain, but I''ve never been so excited about anything in my life, because it''s not just a ring, it''s a marriage and committment, and so my ring will be the most beautiful I''ve ever seen.
Thanks again everybody!
