Yeah, they manipulated us.<br /><br />And there are still countries in Europe where the couple wears their wedding band on one hand when they are engaged, then switches to the other hand when they are married.

No engagement ring at all.<br /><br />This is the ring I want - http://www.pearlmansjewelers.com/jewelry-designers/carl-blackburn-jewelry/rings/36VV1/<br /><br />Of course, it just went up a couple hundred.<br /><br />As for an eternity band that doesn't quite go all the way around, I saw some at http://www.ross-simons.com/<br /><br />They are not listed under wedding or eternity bands though. But they have had some with about a half inch space where there are no stones.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1819388586691204438.post-55248234757066867492009-06-06T15:19:34.178-04:002009-06-06T15:19:34.178-04:00just make sure that the site you buy from has lots...just make sure that the site you buy from has lots of good feedback. My best friends husband bought her engagement ring online and when they took it to be appraised they found out the diamond was cracked and the only thing holding it together was the setting which was tenuous at best!sara-greyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11850479427355303456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1819388586691204438.post-18118708710933615152009-06-04T09:56:32.200-04:002009-06-04T09:56:32.200-04:00ring shopping? exciting! pray do tell more! and i ...ring shopping? exciting! pray do tell more! and i have to say that i've never actually seen the perfect ring for me, online or in store. i guess i'm a freak of nature.Color Me Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00570876113939066775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1819388586691204438.post-25968787078058150922009-06-04T08:09:53.977-04:002009-06-04T08:09:53.977-04:00may i just say that I'm loving these past few ...may i just say that I'm loving these past few posts! keep it up!very marriedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04281621170102704781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1819388586691204438.post-29870403431055553902009-06-04T07:59:34.952-04:002009-06-04T07:59:34.952-04:00yes yes, I agree with you 100%.

That is where we found this one. The rings in antique stores have really unique quality settings and are generally cheape. Mine is platinum and was made in the 1920's. I love to imagine who had this ring before me and the love it represented way back when.M.

I seem to remember one with tiny diamonds and sapphires most of the way around. It was the ring I loved most there -- officially a wedding band, so I ended up with a more traditional (eg., center stone) engagement ring. I can't wait to wear that wedding band!<br />(And Brilliant Earth's metals are all recycled!)elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10887625097831786188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1819388586691204438.post-67736709487897422982009-06-03T23:24:12.691-04:002009-06-03T23:24:12.691-04:00Oh and thanks for turning me onto that site, I LOV...Oh and thanks for turning me onto that site, I LOVE some of their bands.

Honestly I am beginning to think that I will either forgo a diamond engagement-type ring altogether and just get a wedding band or get a gemstone that will be cheaper. I'm sorry, I don't care if I will wear it for life- I can't see spending what they're asking for.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16703630449276209732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1819388586691204438.post-40058742822933333872009-06-03T22:55:03.352-04:002009-06-03T22:55:03.352-04:00It's insane how much inflation there is betwee...It's insane how much inflation there is between online and store-front! J bought mine online, and it appraised for 4 times the amount!! We were able to get the band custom-made from the same vendor at a fraction of the cost, too.Abbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05781496893928005690noreply@blogger.com
