re: Getting pretty serious with my girlfriend and looking for a ring

Since you are in Alabama, I'd go with Tom Neville and "The Source" in Montgomery. Whatever style you choose, you'll pay half of what the ring is worth. Trust me on this one, you will not be disappointed. I bought my wife's ring, valued at 15,000 and paid 8,000. Mr. Neville is a retired NFL player that absolutely loves the jewelry business. Check it out....your wife will love you.
