quoting my comments in other threads about this:

> You can get F and IF (flawless and internally flawless) diamonds there, you cannot get that most places.
> 
> I had a secondary appraisal done on it locally and it came out higher than the one that was provided with the ring.
> 
> No point in buying your setting somewhere else, that just costs you more money. Or, send them your setting for the diamond.
> 
> They shipped it overnight to me for like nothing… very very very highly recommend.

> If you even walk into Spence Diamonds you suck at life… never go there. They couldnt even get the grade of diamond i wanted; “we don’t sell diamonds that quality”. And they were about $5,000 too expensive on the best they ‘could’ get… and that was just for the diamond…

> RE: $1200… fuck off with that… if you are in medical school then you’re just going to have to buy her a second ring later one to make up for the $1200 one you’re buying now.

> stretch the budget to $5k and get something your future doctor buddies won’t tease you for… i don’t know what kind of car you drive but you cannot spend less on a ring than you would on wheels… the ring has to be equal or greater than the most expensive single upgrade to your car… otherwise you are going to have issues 😉
