I wanted inputs on where is the best place to buy an engagement ring.?
I live in Phoenix, AZ. I'm 35, my soon to be fiance is 32. I have approx 3k to spend, although I would like it to be around 2k . I want to get her a half-carat to full carat diamond with a somewhat simple but elegant band. Nothing too crazy. I have priced Shane-Co and a couple others but I was hoping to see if anyone else had any good suggestions. Thanks!
I hate to sound terribly cheap but: the best place is a pawn shop. Seriously. They have people bringing in jewelery and other stuff all the time. It is just like a used car. It has already taken the "depreciation hit". You will save tons of money and get a heck of a ring too. Check it out.
No suggestion on locations, but I strongly, strongly suggest you buy an engagement/wedding ring set. Don't buy them separately - you might end up with rings of different thicknesses that pinch the skin between them. A set will also look better.
Worry more about the overall look of the ring than about specifics like size of the diamond. Stay away from craigslist and ebay and anyone who significantly undercuts the going rate - cheap sellers aren't "cutting out the middleman and passing on the savings", they're probably cheating.
