Found beautiful ring at Zales, plus one that I choose at Blue Nile. Don't know which to purchase. I absolutely love Heart Diamonds which I put together at Blue Nile. They are both beautiful. Blue Nile has a higher quality of gold and diamond. Guess that means it's a "Dah" kind of a decision.

Blue Nile has the best

Blue Nile has the best diamonds for the money. I've been looking at there website for years at the ring I built hope one day I'll get it. My fiance and I have been together 9 yrs and he is finally upgrading my wedding set as we are getting married in 2011. Haven't picked the date yet. We would love to have our adult children and grandchildren to be there. He always said we would be married in Maui. I've never been there and neither has any of my family. Will be wonderful.
