Looks nice. How old are you though that you are considering giving her a ring that looks like an engagement ring? Be careful with that...

holy shizzle, that's not expensive for 1,24 cts of diamond.

Anyway, I've always tried not to buy rings to my gf's to avoid them to start thinking too much about the future. Always thought that kind of thinking was ruining a young couple.

The diamonds are the very small stones on the side, only about 0.04 cts. The large center stone is aquamarine which is about 1.2 cts.

Necklaces, earrings and bracelets are a safer bet, in that sense.. the ring in question might be a bit too fancy, plus she might get your intentions wrong

I like it! I bought my girlfriend something similar the first year we were together (Aquamarine w/ diamonds... but the stone is a rectangle).... that was 13 years ago and we are married now

if I didn't just drop 4x that on a Tablet PC for the Mrs's... I'd be ordering that necklace for her

Her b'day is in May... I added it to my wish list on Amazon so maybe I'll order it for then

That is just the pendant. It does not come with the chain to wear it around her neck. You would have to buy that separately.

EDIT: Nevermind. I see in the fine print it comes with a free chain from that jeweler.
