Diamonds: What will be the price of unique princess cut engagement ring with side stones?

It depends on the size of the diamond, the cut & the quality of diamond. If you have a strict budget, a better approach would be to decide the budget first & then go about searching for the best ring in that range.

Lots of people will give you many answers, relating to carat weight, cut, clarity and colour. Then you have the design of ring weather it is hand made, hand finished or cast and assembled. Also you have to consider the design of your ring. This is all true. You can also say weather it is bought from the Internet or a shop. I would say first find a reputable jeweller or diamond merchant who is a member of a diamond bourse who will serve the general public, this is because they are people who regulate the market price. Another thing is to trust their knowledge. They also will be able to guide you through out the whole process and take your worries away. If they don't make you feel 100% comfortable don't use them. Also they have a code of ethics which they have to abide by. Which means you have recourse if something goes wrong. It also takes time so allow yourself 5-6 weeks for the total process to take place. This should give you enough time from an initial consultation to the finished article to be made. Fix yourself a budget which you are happy with and get a few quotes. These should all be within 5-10% of each other. Depending on what you want and what you can afford will depend on the finial outcome of your required ring.
