I want a square cut solitaire diamond ring for xmas and my bf is getting one for me but within a budget of around $300. I was wondering why all the round shaped ones cost so much less than the square ones. Also any tips in choosing the right ring? I don’t like gold but silver or white gold is fine. And his budget of around $300 is only because this is more of a promise ring and we’ve only been together for a little over a year. Thanks for all the input.

2) They want to make you happy
3) They fear disappointing you or worse yet, rejection
