A free "Tiffany Style Setting" may not at all be to her liking, and, there are many "Tiffany Style" settings: thinner and thicker, wider or narrower, rounder or flatter, of more or less refined finish... Propose, instead, with a surprise diamond-in-a-blue-box display, by itself, and buy the ring setting together with her. </font> <HR> </font> <H4><font face="ARIAL, HELVETICA">Selection and choice that only a specialist and veteran diamond dealer & <i>e-tailer</i> can offer...

You are not overcharged for it through the alleged ring's "price" </font> <HR> </font> <H4><font face="ARIAL, HELVETICA">You can have your diamond fully verified, inspected and authenticated only when not set!</font></H4> <FONT FACE="ARIAL, HELVETICA"><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Set diamonds <B>cannot</B> be identified and verified with 100% certainty. The setting prevents fail-proof identification in terms of hidden parts of it (by the prongs, bezel etc.), color comparison (due to interference by the setting's metal color), inaccessibility to proper measuring, inaccessibility to inspection even of some of the exposed parts (mainly from the direction of the culet & pavilion), possible interference with the interpretation of inclusions by possible reflections of parts the setting, non-amenability to weighing etc. Some set diamonds may even be --ever so slightly-- scratched or damaged in the process of setting and/or dismounting, thereby affecting their value and/or money-back guarantees extended by the vendors. </font> <HR> </font> <H4><font face="ARIAL, HELVETICA">Avoid the "free ring" and "free setting" trap</font></H4> <FONT FACE="ARIAL, HELVETICA"> <P><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">"Nothing comes free"--not even a ring with a diamond purchase... A ring may be provided and set with a diamond purchased by you "at no extra cost" for one of the two obvious reasons: If it is of any significant value beyond a few tens of dollars--it is "free" because the price of your diamond is marked-up high enough to cover its cost; More likely--the ring is from a mass-production line, with little attention paid to detail or finish, of minimal width, thickness and weight, and/or low grade precious metal. Furthermore its style is likely to be described as a "classic ..." , in other words common-place, popular and of no uniqueness. Even what might be referred to as a "Classic Tiffany" design (this "classic" word again...) may come in levels of craftmanship & details, and, of course, its very cheap & clear immitations... You will be surprised at how knowledgeable most women are when it comes to jewelry style and quality. A cheap, mass-produced (hence "classic") ring will be noted by her in no time, and most likely--not very much appreciated. After all, wouldn't it be a shame to diminish the look, value, beauty & first impression of your diamond investment by confining it in a "freely" supplied, cheap-looking and easy to spot low quality setting? </font> <HR> </font> <H4><font face="ARIAL, HELVETICA">You share the delicate process of choosing the ring style with her... there would be no hard feeling...</font></H4> <FONT FACE="ARIAL, HELVETICA"> <P><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Rather than disappoint her with a ring design she may not like, or even worth, find plainly tasteless, common, vulgar or cheap--buy her the diamond by itself .
