    I would be careful in relation to the clarity with this ring. Obviously it depends on how "perfect" you want the stone to be but l1/l2 are classed as imperfect rather than just having slight inclusions. The colour is OK although I personally wouldnt have wanted anything that wasnt an F/G in colour as IMO they are much less sparkly. Bear in mind as well that white gold fades quite quickly. If you can afford it I would def. recommend platinum. Congrats!
  • Hi adamg,
    It's a nice ring. 3-stone rings are very popular. Have you shopped around? There are a few excellent american sites. The link you have doesn't seem to have real diamond photos of the ring's diamonds, so it's hard to judge them by looking. As for value, if you shop around you can really find a bargain in the USA. Good sites will let you design your own ring. you pick the metal, setting, stone, etc. acc. to your budget.
    I'd recommend you browse these Jamesallen.com 3 stone rings under their "engagement ring section" because you can view photos of the real diamonds in 3d close up.

    Good luck!

    spammer or not, spammers post shop links in their first few posts... so you have to admit you do look like one. sorry if it causes offence but that's what spammers do and why they do it.
