I think you will save people a lot of money and a lot of heartache. I have two more to add: 1. Buy the diamond and the setting seperately--or at least get the prices for them apart. That way you can compare the diamond's price with other diamonds just like it with a search engine (like diamondpriceguru.com/ or another one). Some retailers mark up their pre-set rings up to 30% more than if you buy the pieces apart. 2.
