The reason we went with this style is because it hugs titely against her ring and has the cut out for the emerald-cut engagement ring she has.  I liked it instantly and I think she did too, the first store we tried to buy it at, quoted us one price and as we were making the purchase the sales woman claimed  "that the price of gold has gone up and therefor our prices have increased"  What a crock of shit!!!  I worked in retail for a great many years and I know that if you mis-price something you are liable to sell it at that price or face heavy penalties.  The only instance where this is not true is typos, but missed sale tags with no expiration dates don't qualify as typos.  Regardless we went to another store (with an even better reputation) and got the exact same ring for the initial price at the first store, and mine was cheaper to boot!  Could it get any better?
