Engagement ring - what do you think?

I have done some researching and spec'out this ring. What do you think?
Has anyone dealt with James Allen jeweler before?

The setting alone is $1700 (Platium solitaire), the rock is $7800

What does your fiance/gf think? That's what matters.....

Personally I like it; I got a ring like that for my gf with a smaller diamond and setting was sterling silver or white gold; I can't remember. She loved it.

+1, that ring looks tight. :O Looks like a 20k+ ring.
If you asked me to marry you with that, I would have a hard time saying no.

Are you supposed to go shopping with your g/f for an engagement ring?? I thought that was for a wedding ring, because the engagement is supposed to be a surprise..

I've never bought anything from james allen but they are very respectable. Have you gone to pricescope.com and looked at the forums and info over there? They were very helpful when I purchased my engagement ring. FYI, I purchased from whiteflash just in case you wanted to know. They were extremely friendly.

P.S. that a great looking setting and stone.

Why?? Because they aren't rare at all, and are stored by the bundles to keep the prices up??

I can get you some blood diamonds much cheaper if you want.

well its traditional / typical...
my wife just sports a tiffany's eternity band, she thinks engagement rings just get in the way...
she would much rather sport 3 eternity bands then a combination of both..
btw we are both old school hoes, so there is nothing traditional about us

GL & Congrats

Oh and get a good divorce attorney before you get married! trust me

Good looking ring, imo. The specs on the diamons look good, maybe even better than necessary. Seems like a pretty good price for what you are getting.

where did you get yours from?
I've had family in the business for a while, so I got a great deal through a private jeweler. But your deal is on par.

i am recently shooping for an engagement ring myself, and its harder to purchase a good ring then it is to purchase a good BMW. I never know when i am getting a good deal. Its difficult to trust somebody's opinion. I have read numerous of books and articles about diamonds, and i think i have enough knowledge to buy a diamond, but at the same time i have to deal with these SALESMAN.

Good luck with your purchase.The ring i am picking out, looks somewhat like yours but has some tappered baguettes on the side. like this one http://www.davidsdiamonds.com/shop/j...px?Item=SP0006 but not that price. My price range is between 10K-15k.

looks like a great ring. tiffany-esque but with out the "kick-my-balls" price tag. were you able to get image scope pictures from them? i think if you email them, they can get a scan for you. that's how i decided which diamonds were good.

and james allen is a respectable vendor on the web, although i was never too comfortable buying my fiance's ring off the internet. i ended up going to an internet seller that had an office in the diamond district. he had internet low prices and i liked dealing with a person face to face.

Def. get some opinions on the stone by the ppl on the pricescope forums, they're very helpful. Most of them there recommend J.A. highly. I've bought a few pieces from Whiteflash and they're customer service is great too.

It looks nice to me, but then I am a guy. I guess I would ask to see the certificate and check the clarity rating before I say "yes".

j/k


best of luck!

argh. david s has great diamonds, but they wouldn't deal with me. they had their price and they stuck to it even after i told them that if i get lower price on a comparable ring some where else, i'm not coming back. but they have a great rep, and if you visit their store, you get a pretty kickass tutorial. they've got practically every scope to look at diamonds through and you learn how to see what makes diamonds look beautiful.

it's not all about the paper!
