Hello, I am proposing to the love of my life  for over the past 4 years next week. I got her a 14K white gold ring with a what I was told "perfectly" cut diamond, in the light the luster and colors are fantastic and in a photo (sorry for the blurry camera) up close it is like 8 mirrors showing my PC screen. Then I bought a 14K white gold necklace pendant with a diamond as well to go along with it as a match, this is just for proposal.

She is a neo-hippie to speak and loves the peace sign, so I already bought a gorgeous 18K white gold ring with 12 small carat diamonds in the shape of a peace sign to give her during our honey moon (we are going to Hawaii, then from Hawaii flying to England, then Italy to see my home town, and have the funds to go anywhere else in europe she wants to go. after that we end the honeymoon with 2 weeks in the bahamas at a time-share I bought as part of the new life we will have. we own up to 2 months every year in a beautiful resort on Grand Bahama Island .



anyway, sorry for the blurry photos please just tell me if the jeweler ripped me off, I know its real gold, I can tell they are diamonds but can you tell the approximate size of the cuts, the worth by the luster? I don't want to say how much I paid until you guys and gals respond - I trust the tiffany and Co peace sign ring to not question that.

as a note the back side of the pendant looks like a perfect cone that leads to a sharp looking point.

I'm a musician, signed full international retail - don't want to reveal too much but yeah, I will fish out my high resolution camera when im out of the studio (took it on my phone)

Hi Proposing!
Welcome to the forum.

As a fellow musician, I really do wish you'd found us first.
As has been written, there's nothing we can tell from the photos you posted ( I'm sure you play music much better than you take pictures...heheh)


To be able to even begin to answer, we need to know a few things......What did you pay for the diamond and what's it's shape and size?

The fact you were told you got a "perfectly cut" diamond is one strike- it's kind of like calling a used car a "creampuff"- all sizzle and no steak.....

Hi Proposingtomylove! Welcome to the forum. I hope that you'll stick around a while and share the fun.  As far as your photos go, I can't add anything new to what's already been written. Sorry about that.

However, I am curious... what, after making your purchases, lead you to believe that you may have paid too much? It seems to me that there may be more to your story here...

And, WOW, I'm impressed. You haven't proposed, and yet, already, you've got the honeymoon all planned out. I hope she loves it all. Good luck!

Everyone else is, of course, right about it being impossible to tell much of anything from pics.  What's important is that you've found a jeweler you trust (it makes me sad that you even think that you might have been cheated!), and of course, MOST importantly, that your bride-to-be LOVES her ring!

If you want to try to take better pictures, though, what I'd suggest is that you get farther away.  All lenses have a minimum focal distance; closer than that, they just cannot focus.  So move back, then crop the (hopefully in-focus) picture until the diamond is front and center!

Congrats on your impending proposal!  Your honeymoon sounds like quite a whirlwind!

I'm sorry we can't tell much from the pictures, but I can see it's a pear with baguettes and that's one of my favorite combos.
