I don’t plan of having a wedding
but I would like to have a nice engagement ring!!!
How much would the following ring cost
Channel Set 3-stone(Past-Present-Future) Ring
Metal=Platinum
Color-F
Clarity-Flawless
Cut-Round & Ideal (most important to me)
1 Carat (second most important to me)
Would it be grossly expensive?
if so what could we get for $5,000-$10,000
So this might sound like a silly question but I am currently in the process of planning a wedding and my fiance and I have been talking about our wedding bands. Now I’ve always wanted a wooden wedding band (probably a darker wood like black wood or rosewood or something) but the engagement ring that I have is white gold. Would it look silly to pair the two?
This is what my engagement ring looks like (though not as big): http://www.birks.com/en/featured/Engagement/Solitaire-Diamond-Rings/g64-712/914122
This is kind of what I was looking at for a band:

My fiance likes the tungsten wedding bands, and I was going to purchase one for him … but the salesperson at the jewelry store told me that not only can they not be cut off easily in an emergency (which I was aware of), they also cannot be resized after it is made. He maintains his weight, so it’s not like he should need is resized any time soon … but what about when he gets older if his fingers change size?
Also, he is in the military and going to Afghanistan right after the wedding, so I am a bit concerned about the fact that the ring cannot be cut off easily since it’s a possibility.
We also looked at the white gold rings, but he really seemed to prefer the tungsten ones.
Not quite sure who’s giving the thumbs down, but I promise it’s not me! I appreciate all your comments.
Can someone tell me how much a Tiffany’s ring like this would cost? And also does ring size matter in cost of engagment/wedding rings? I WILL pick best answer, thanks.

here’s a picture of the exact ring i’m talking about:

i didn’t ask what your personal opinion of the ring is — I don’t really care. If you have reading comprehension issues and are unable to answer the question — then’ don’t try to.
I’m just curious again lol.
If you could choose your engagement ring, would you pick a stone other than a diamond? What would you choose?
Or if you did pick your engagement ring, what did you pick?
If I was picking, I’d choose a blue topaz stone in a white gold setting and just have the wedding ring be a simple white gold band.
Topaz measures at 8 on the Mohs scale. That’s close enough for me since I don’t do much dirty work (like gardening) and I have to wear gloves at work.
Thanks for your answers everyone.
@Two: it was hard to choose between your answer and the one I chose, but Charmed Events’ answer hits just the right mark.
Blue topaz does mean more to me than diamond does.
1) I’ve already got plenty of diamonds. My family has a tradition that the groom has to get a bigger diamond than the ones the parents have given the bride throughout her life so I’ve got quite a few rings with diamonds or diamond accents. Plus, he’s already given me a diamond necklace that’s .20 points under a half carat and diamond earrings.
2) Blue topaz is the gemstone of the state of Texas and both of our families are from Texas.
3) The engagement ring doesn’t mean as much to me as the wedding band so I’m not really that worried about it getting scratched or anything.
4) We like to be different and a blue topaz ring is certainly different from the normal diamond engagement rings.
5) And last but not least, blue is a favorite color for us both.
And I do realize that the Mo
My husband and I have been married for two weeks now, and because of us not having such a large income, we wed through the Justice of the Peace. What made me feel a little more sad is we didn’t have rings. My husband said he would buy them, but I know he hasn’t looked any where and I’m not wearing one. The other day I was curious so I decided to look on ebay and found a huge bargain for a 18K white gold wedding band, and decide to purchase it for him. How would you guys feel if your new wife bought you a wedding bed? If by chance this has happened to you, how was your reaction?

After almost 10 years of marriage and 10 years of wearing my engagement ring/wedding set, I’m upgrading to a new set. I’ve had my engagement ring and bands (all soldered together b/c I have an antique ring that is Edwardian style – square – so no band would fit) resized 4-5 times and my jeweler (who is excellent ) said it’s best not to keep doing it. I’m also ready for a new style. My dream ring is a solitaire with a band and we could never afford it. When I go back to work in the fall (I’m a SAHM now), my husband said I could upgrade to a 1.5 solitaire ring in September (our 10th anniversary). I found a beautiful 14k white gold CZ ring in 1.5 size solitaire to wear for now (and if I like it, may not get the real diamond b/c of costs and saving money) and was thinking…do I really need to tell everyone, if they ask, that it’s fake? I’m the type that ALWAYS tells the truth on my things…how cheap my clothes were (if I’m complimented on them), if a ring I’m wearing is CZ/fake, etc…but I started thinking…do I really need to do this? Can I just say “thank you” if complimented and go on my way or should I always say it’s a CZ? I know this sounds like a dumb question but just wanted to get others opinions. Please, no rude comments. Thanks.
One of my good friends bought a platinum engagement ring and proposed to her boyfriend (my cousin). It kinda shocked the hell out of him. His response was that he needed time to think. Needless, to say there was no wedding.
