I'll start off by saying that i know jewelery is not a place to cheap out.
However, Im on a timeframe and wont exactly have as much as id like, so im having to really look and find some good deals.
The facts:
--Im looking for a ring for a special lady-friend.
--White Gold ban.
--3-stone setup.
--Size 6.5
--$600-$800 range.
I got lost when i tried finding the difference between cuts and names, and weights and clarity and all that jazz.
I know id prefer a more square-topped diamond, as itll be in a 3-stone setup.
I found a --"14K 1/2ct TDW Princess 3-stone ring"-- for like $615shipped
I really dont wanna shop Pawn Shops as sizes are hit-or-miss.
Wal-Mart, Target and Sam's are a no-go.
Macy's and JCPenney's were no help either.
Local jewelers are very expensive and only want to offer financing. I cant do that, and i know thats probably the one thing keeping me from getting a more expensive piece.
The 14K 1/2ct piece i mentioned above, was found on Overstock.com.
So long as there's a return policy or one i can purchase or some kind of insurance, i dot mind, but im still iffy about ordering jewelery online. If it means getting a deal, then i'll do it. The ring can always be sized later, but she says she's a dead-on 6.5, so...
The Lowdown:
--Im looking for the best bang for under, or around, $800.
--Anything i should look for or be aware of as far as clarity, cut, sizing, etc?
--Has anyone had any luck or know anyone who's had luck ordering online?
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
