haha yeh but at the same time a big diamond looks gaudy and ostentatious. i tried on a 5 ct. asscher, and while it was stunning, if i were to wear that regularly, it would warrant a lot of unwanted attention. btw, diamond prices have been increasing for over 10 yrs continuously and are expected to decline this yr because of the global decrease in demand due to the world economies. :) but dont expect to see price cuts at designer jewelers, there you probably just wont see an increase but at other places like Kay Jewelers, Whitehall and the likes, they will probably start reducing prices.
Whitehall went out of business down here, but they had an 80% of sale before the closed.
