my friend in indiana has partnered in with their families jewlery business.
That same exact ring im looking to purchase would cost me about 1,500 more than the one i linked above.

 

This says a lot. My wife has small hands and even that stone would look pretty big on her. The other thing is she hates the big guady stones, we'll walk by the jewlry store and laugh. My wife is picky too, thats why I had her pick out her own engagement ring. It was a simple .5 ct sigle stone in a smooth gold band. Wedding band a simple smooth gold band. My wedding band is a brushed gold band. Must be doing something right cause these were picked over 16 years ago and were still together.
