for the jacked up prices, i agree, but when i picked up the stone, i went to jared and they price matched one i picked out from a local seller that had similar grade. the one from them was slightly beter graded actually.

people love to shite on the big names, but if you do your homework, you wont get ripped off. spend what you are comfortable spending. if you can afford a 10-15k ring and you are comfortbale doing so, do it. if you cant, dont.
