I should be able to do the same. My gf's uncle owns a few jewlery stores and they do custom work as well so hopefully I can get the hookup :rick:

Also realize that an engagement ring should be about 3 months of your salary OR whatever you can afford. Remember it's what the ring means not how big it is.

Really? Three months. Is this the universal thought process? I really wwant to know I had not heard that yet. Then again I haven't thought bout marrying since I was around twenty which was way to young.

.75 for a solitare isnt bad. it depends on the girl though, and what she wants. I have small hands, so i dont want anything big. My bestfriend on the other hand, has smaller hands than i do and has a huge ass ring that she wants to get a bigger center stone for.
It all comes down to what the girl likes. The size isnt as big of a factor as the other 3 C's. You can get a 2c diamond, but if it's yellow and has imperfections in it, it's going to look like shit..and no woman is going to care that they have a 2c diamond when it's looking like that.
Oh and, Bluenile > *.
