So my partner proposed yesterday with a “placeholder” ring as he said he’d rather be sure to get one he’d be sure I’d like and fitted first time. This is fine, the idea of ring buying kind of baffles me though.
I think I’d like an emerald with diamonds either side and have seen a few online but is it potentially better value to have one made to our spec? Budget is up to about £1000. Has anyone had good experiences going down this path?
I went into a jewellers today to find out my finger size and showed the guy briefly a picture of one I liked and he said it was likely to be a really low quality emerald for the price listed £750. Is an emerald + diamond setting a bit too much to ask for under 1k?
