I just went and bought(well paid half so far on it) an engagement ring for my g/f.

I had taken my g/f with me before to look to get a idea of what she wanted. Well today we went again cause she wanted to get her finger sized and to look some more. At this point I was planning to buy soon, and she knew I was, but I didnt know I was buying today. We looked at rings, and I knew she wanted an oval cut Diamond, and the jewler took a few out and showed us the different grades underneath a magnifying glass and all that stuff.

He pulled one out and she instantly fell in love with it. It was an oval cut .94 kt size "D" Color(Highest Possible) and Vs2 clarity(above average). The price on it stone only was 3299$. That was a bit above my range that I had in mind at first honestly ,not because Im cheap, but because that would take pretty much my whole bank account down to about 300$. As we were looking at some other the guy made a deal with us and said he would sell it to us for 2900$ and that included the appraisal and setting and everything. She was in love with it so I said go for it. So I put down roughly half on it so he would hold it until I got paid again to pay off the other half.

Sorry for the long rambling but I had to tell someone...

This is roughly what it looks like
