Wanted to give everyone who helped me out a quick update! After months of looking, dozens and dozens of trips to B&M jewelry stores, local shops, etc. I finally found the diamond I was looking for. Everyone who said, "Don't buy online, the experience of shopping around is worth the $400-$500 you might save" were absolutely right. I gained a ton of information and ended up having the ring custom made by a well known jewelry designer here in Dallas. We sat down with a pencil and paper, sketched out how I wanted the setting and they completed it in about 2-1/2 weeks. I proposed a few weeks ago and my girlfriend of 5 years said YES!! So once again, thanks to everyone who helped me along the way. The journey and time spent was well worth it!!!
Here's a pic I snapped, I suck at taking pictures
