I actually have two diamond rings I can sell. But I'm wondering how this is going to work, unless we happen to live close to each other there'd have to be a lot of trust one way or the other (either you trusting me that they're not fake, or me trusting you to pay after receiving). One is three princess cut diamonds set in platinum, the other round diamonds set in white gold. That's all I can remember off the top of my head since it's been years.
I can definitely give you good pictures and descriptions, and I don't have any other use for them right now, but I don't want to spend time on it if I don't think a deal is feasible.
Either PM me or post here if you'd like to discuss. I do also happen to know quite a bit about engagement rings from my own research years ago and wouldn't mind sharing some info.

I can make a semi custom piece for you if you'd like.
I get high quality natural gemstones (diamonds too) and professionally set them in various settings.
Here is a Tanzanite Ring (1.3 ct AAA Tanzanite - VVS) we just did for someone.
I have marquese Alexandrites which are truly amazing, look into this gemstone it is very very rare.
Rubies, emeralds, whatever you would like and a lot of setting options.
Just PM me anytime.
*Edit - I of course prefer bitcoin as payment

Don't worry about ring size. You can resize rings for about $30 at your local jeweler.
If she has small fingers like that then you are in good shape. Just get the larger size at first then resize later.
I'm a big fan of diamonds, as on my wedding band I have 9 of them
Some personal tastes of mine when searching for a quality diamond.
The color, to me, was most important. D is colorless, E and F are not really noticeable color to naked eye, and anything else is noticeable. If you are getting a gold band, you can move down into the HIJ color chart for diamonds because you won't notice the yellow as much. If you are going white gold, which I personally prefer looks wise, I wouldn't go any lower than F color.
Second, I'd go with cut. Kay/Shaw jewelers like to claim their Leo diamond is amazing because it has something like 102 facets in it. I wouldn't worry about the facets as much. To the naked eye, an 80 facet diamond is going to shine as much as a 100 facet. The important part of the cut is to make sure the dimensions are symmetrical. I prefer a shape just like this. -> http://www.am-diamonds.com/images/anatomy_diamond.gif
Third would be Carat size. If she has small fingers, I would go with something like a Solitaire Diamond (most sophisticated look imo,) 1/2 carat to 3/4 carat. The 1/2 carat on her finger will look like a full carat on a woman with larger fingers. Price is also a big factor in carat size.
Lastly, I look at clarity. In all honesty, i don't even worry with it. You very rarely can see clarity with the naked eye.
I bought my wife a 0.56 Carat, D colorless, 86 facet, VS1 clarity, solitaire engagement ring with white gold band. Her wedding ring is 5 diamonds, 0.54 carat combined, E color, SI2 clarity, and I don't recall the cuts.
Hope this helps. These are my opinions, so make sure you go see for yourself what you like. Hopefully there will be a congratulations in order for the future.

I believe she is a five or a six... I have a receipt for a michael kors ring I bought her for christmas. Will post it tonight.
She likes diamonds and whitegold or platinum... She is also a Red head so she looks good with emeralds as well... May consider a large center Emerald surrounded by diamonds.
As far as cuts go... I think she likes Marquise.
Really just let me know what you have... I think I'm pretty flexible.

You should list what size she is so people know what to look for and of course the size should be on the finger she's going to wear it on.
So... couple of months ago when bitcoin was at $14 I told my girlfriend that I would buy her a wedding ring when it hit $200 a coin...
Since we are getting close I guess I need to start looking
Let me know what ya got and what ya wan't for it.
Would prefer to pay in litecoin or paypal (moving money to bitcoin is possible though).
Pictures are preferred.
Thanks,
Andrew
