Thanks Michael for all the details on HW! I remember reading all your posts about your hunt for the one---congrats on the final decision on the Tiffany ring---I"m sure its gorgeous!

I think my bf and I really need to go out to the stores (different ones) and for me to start trying things on. We were planning to get engaged by end of this year/early next year and for some reason, I keep thinking that it is "too early" right now and the SA's won't take us seriously?!?!? When you go in/make appt: do you flat out tell them your budget and a rough idea of what you want or do you just start trying on things that you like?

But after looking at all these pics and reading the posts---my head is spinning with all the choices! I can't even figure out what type of style I like anymore and what will look good on my little finger (size 4.5)-- (ie: classic tiffany solitare, vintage-deco, 3 stone, cushion/assher cute---that is for some reasoning becoming more appealing to me).

Anyways---I will continue to keep reading...thanks guys---you are the BEST :yes:
 
Have you looking at bluenile.com? Its a good site for comparing different diamonds and learning about the different Cs. Also, you can see how the price changes by changing one or more of the variables, i.e., what's the price difference between a 2.1 carat vvs1 and a 2.1 carat vvs2 assuming the same cut and color.
 
Definitely tell everyone your budget and what you want - don't be shy!

It's the SA's job to help you find the right ring, so they'll want to know everything about what you want and what you can afford.
