my bf just given me an engagement solitaire diamond ring and i love it so much. i wear it all the time even when i sleep and sometimes i hit the ring on the wall. i noticed that the tip of 2 prongs doesnt touch to the diamond now. it is a 4 prong setting.
i tried to move it but its not moving. is it possible that the diamond is loose?
Yes, you need to get your prongs checked immediately or it's very likely you may lose your stone. Go to the place where he bought it, which should provide this service for free, or find a jewelry store with an on-site jeweler so you don't have to leave your ring to be fixed (call ahead!)
Also please make sure that your ring is insured. You will first need to have it appraised by a certified diamond grader (preferable NOT at the store where he bought it) and then contact your insurance company to add the ring to your homeowner's or renter's policy.
Diamonds are measured in Carat Weight. One carat weighs 200 milligrams. If a diamond is referred to as four grains, this also means that it is a one carat diamond. The word Carat comes from the word carob. A carob is a bean that grows on a tree in the Mediterranean. In times past, if a diamond weighed the same as a carob bean, it was one carob, or one carat. However, in the far east, where Carob t...

I plugged the information you gave us into a diamond search engine (http://www.diamondpriceguru.com/ but there are others online, too). I used "round, .45 carats, F-G, VS1-SI2." (By the way, that's quite vague--that covers 4 different clarity categories, from very slightly included 1 to slightly included 2. If the seller can narrow that down for you, you can get a much more accurate price estimate.)
The search engine found 263 loose diamonds that match that description, priced from $505 to $1,944. That's the data from about 10 different retailers. (Sorry for the large range, but the clarity grade would really, really help narrow that down.)
Setting of course would cost extra. And this is all if you are buying the ring. If you are selling it back to the jeweler, try reading about selling your diamond (http://guide.diamondpriceguru.com/diamond-and-ring-prices/diamond-prices/selling-a-diamond/).

Black Freshwater Pearl about how much money do these fish cost?
please don't give me a wal-mart/petsmart price, i wanted to know if they're more expensive at stores or what..
what about---\
giant gourami?
black molly?
pearl gourami?
zebra pleco?
discus?
fire eel?
or common freshwater stingray? ty!
and if its according to size.. please tell me!
All these prices are the cheapest Ive seen.
Giant Gourami- 4.99 (really though?You know these fish grow to 20+ inches easily right? They also have a bad temper once they hit 8-12 inches. This fish shouldnt be mixed with any other fish in your list, and needs at least 150-200 gallons just for itself.)
Black molly- about 1.50-2.50. These are pretty common and breed easily.
Pearl gourami- I believe these were 3.99 or 4.99. They cost about the same as other gouramis.
Discus- Ive seen poor quality discus at 29. They are expensive. Ive seen decent quality at 60-70.
Fire eel- 12.99 for a 5 incher. These grow to 30 or so inches, and needs at least a 100+ gallon tank.
Ive never seen zebra plecos, but I have seen plecos costing 100+ dollars at my local store. If the zebras are one of those species thats hard to breed and get a hold of, expect a high price.

In a book of this kind it is often the custom to begin by making apologies. In my case I feel it to be a sheer necessity.

I purposely made my...
