Thanks for all the advice guys - I had a chat with the Jeweler who's doing this for me and she mentioned something along SeeGeeWhy's line of thinking - considering something at the SI1 level but getting an Ideal Cut and D color, and ensuring occlusions are at the perimeter. I think she's going to get an example of both and let me decide. Depending on how the diamond prices out, this ability to pick and choose may be worth the extra coin over BlueNile.
We did a mercy trip to Spence last year to at least figure out some basics of what she wants so I'm not completely in the dark. She's settled on a Tacori, which I'm going to have cloned to not pay the marketing charges.
Who ever said that 3 months salary is the rule deserves a punch to the testes for selling the rest of us guys out. I'm drawing a line in the sand for what I consider to be a generous amount and not crossing it - it's still a considerable amount though. On that note, where's my engagement car? Or Engagement Plasma TV?
