It depends on the couple. Some want to be surprised, whereas I wanted a say. Sure, he's buying it, but I'm the one who has to wear it everyday and we have different tastes. It's something we decided on together.Doesn't the man proposing typically pick the ring he is going to give you? ...without your knowledge? I mean, I would be happy with whatever ring the guy I love decided to give me.
interesting thread. For all that tiffany bashing it is really funny, how everybody's saying that their ring/earrings/setting/design etc. Is "just like tiffany's". Somehow i never hear people say: "my tiffany piece is just like the one from blue nile or brian gavin or other discounters :-d more than a century after inventing the pronged setting tiffany still seems to set the scale.
i have a question here, please excuse my lack of knowledge. i am seeking a solitaire 3 - 3.5 carat diamond ring, and am currently looking at tiffany's, cartier, and and an online site named Enchanted Diamonds. i understand that a ring from the big house 2 names would be costly than those from online seller's loose diamond. what is your opinion on online sellers'? I understand that there would be an extra cost on setting if i choose a loose diamond, but has anyone gone through this process please advice me. TIA!

I know that you can get a Chevy and it's a nice car, it works and fulfills it's function and probably it's a good value for the money. But I would much rather have a Teslaor perhaps an Aston Martin
And a real Tiffany ring on the finger turning the steering wheel

thank you for your reply. yes, i am most interested in the specs of the stone mainly the cutting and polish, but also the setting is important to me. don't really care about the branding and names. as long as the stone comes with inscription and GIA cert (with the specs i wish) thats all i care about it, but i am wondering where and how i should choose the stone to be set,,,,i wish the stone to be set perfectlyI've bought from quite a few online sellers. And I work with TONS of people to select stones every day, on my own time. Enchanted isn't my favorite, but I have not completed a purchase from them myself, only worked with people who have. They're a dropshipper, mostly. So most of those stones they have for sale are not in house. They're working on getting "there" but I don't think they are yet. There are better vendors.
My current ring, and every stone Ive owned prior save for one have all come from an online vendor. I have also had a Tiffany ring, and I will never likely own another Tiffany engagemetn ring as long as there are other options such as online vendors. I value cut quality, and I've found that Tiffany and other majors do not.

ame, thank you so very much! great helpInclude an AGS report as well as GIA. AGS is going to consider cut. GIA's "cut" quality grade means nothing.
Victor Canera can set a stone perfectly, as can Steven Kirsch.
My husband would not have dared pick a ring without my 100% involvement. Ever. If he did, we would never be getting married because that proves he does not know me at all. That's a joining of finances and is something we should both be involved in.

I've already told my partner in a couple of years he's not allowed to do anything diamonds related until he has your seal of approval [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]
