I think I'd quite like something like that, but not for that price. I went to a party the other day and all the other women there had loads of sparkly jewellery on. I felt a bit bare with my solitary silver ring.
The ex and I once met a couple in the Amstel in Amsterdam, the head concierge introducing us, the couple from New York. Her ring wasn't far short of this - and absolutely stellar, more of a square cut, but flawless....a serious investment stone around 2.5 carats.... Probably the most beautiful stone that I have seen, large, yes but not humongous.
If you want a stone, please, please, go and buy wholesale.....1/3rd the price of retail and I am sure there are a few of us ABers who have various contacts around the world.....most wholesalers deal at the international market plus 5 to 10% mark-up...and that is a serious discount versus retail.
I go for emeralds myself - not that I've ever been rich enough (or landed a bloke rich enough) to get them. Being an August birthday, I've settled for Peridots instead - not that I have any of them either :((((
