This. ^^^

Use the loop. Look for any imperfections you can find. Helps with price negotiations.

She may never say a word, but everyone who looks at it oohing and ahhing will be holding their tongue all the while trying to decide if you're clueless, a cheap bastich or both.

I'd be really pissed at the guy who sold it to you in the first place. You aren't a diamond expert and you rely on his judgment. Part of that is not selling you an inferior quality stone. You should have laid into him about how upset your wife is. They may have upgraded the stone for nothing. Bad publicity is costly for them if you aren't satisfied.

Yeh, lets all hear it for The Beers and slave diamonds worth nothing

Although I followed through with this 'tradition' in all 3 marriages,.....

I feel it's a rip off......even with green stones on either side.....what they call them things anyway???

woopie doo....

Nice ring. I'm not a jewelry person and really don't understand the whole diamond thing especially the price. I would rather have something that benefits me like a car, trip or something that enhances my quality of life. My Dad once said you can't take it with you since he'd never seen a hearse with a tow hitch.

Holy moneybags batman wth!! Why don't you go see Scott's guy with your wife and pick out a ring that is within a budget you both are okay with? I know there were some threads awhile back about buying diamonds so maybe you could find some good deals with those companies. I'd rather take some time and get the best bang for the buck than to rush into buying something for a lot of money and regretting it. Hell at $10,000 I'd get so pissed off every time I'd see that ring I'd probably kick my own ass.
