Thank you so much for great information. the only reason I was going to go with NM is I don't know any jeweler and I thought I could trust NM. When I looked at the diamond, I was little taken back. they claim its GH color VS. Unfortunately I did not see much sparkle.The diamonds in most jewelry sold at department stores, even higher end ones like NM, are lower end. Same goes for diamonds from mall/chain stores like Kay, Jared, etc. A 3ctw 5 stone ring is pretty substantial, so I'd want to go with a reputable local jeweler or reputable online jewelry store. At .6ct each, you might even want to go with GIA graded diamonds. I would check with ID Jewelry out of NYC. They do custom work at very reasonable prices, so if you don't see something on their site you can email them. GL
Thank you so much for the picture. And your comment. This helps me tremendously.Here's a picture from someone I know with a 2ctw Memoire ring, so five .40 stones. As you can see, it is about as wide as her finger can manage. I think she wears around a size 6. Her diamond engagement ring was upgraded through Whiteflash, so I feel like if she did the 5 stone ring over again, she'd use Whiteflash this time.
