Thanks for all the input thus far, I think I'll go ahead with the pearl plan. She's going to be really thrilled.

What I'd like to know a little more about now is how to know that an online pearl company is reputable? I looked at all the sites that Jerin mentioned, and only found any variety of rings at Pure Pearls. Pearl paradise only had one ring type available (not very engagementy) and the other stores offered none or only tahitian pearl rings. So I'd really appreciate some more leads for places I can look. I'm going to check out the discussion about American Pearl on the forums, because it's really important to be ethical about this purchase, but they do have the largest selection.
I'd also welcome some more input about the freshwater/akoya/southsea durablility discussion. What's this about 100% nacre? I'll try doing some research on the forums, but I'd take any help.
Thanks again.
