My FH always wanted to give me a bigger diamond but again he was still a student when he proposed so... I got the smaller diamond but most importantly the man. He too promised to get me the "one I wanted" or "upgrade the diamond" at a later date. Not necessary but such a sweety!</P><P>Congrats on finding a great man (and a great ring!)Fri, 07 Apr 2006 21:04:30 GMTScotBridehttp://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic2079-4-1.aspxThat's such a sweet idea from your FH. Maybe you could try pricing other jewellers to see if you could find the ring you want at a better price.Fri, 07 Apr 2006 18:43:18 GMTmarybeth08http://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic2079-4-1.aspxFrom what you are saying I think our e-rings are very similar. Here is a picture of mine with the band that I got and it was $500 for the band. Maybe that is more in your budget (we are young as well and I put my band on a payment plan and each pay day I paid so much and now I have it).<P>Everyone that I have shown this band to with my e-ring loves it. Even the lady at the store said that they are going to show the two rings together more often.</P><P>Both rings are from Ben Moss.</P><P><IMG src="http://www.benmoss.com/products/411260158002.jpg"></P><P><IMG src="http://www.benmoss.com/products/413410147003.jpg">Thu, 06 Apr 2006 00:05:58 GMTmuirheadhttp://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic2079-4-1.aspx<STRONG><EM>Here's a picture for you Jessicah.....you may want to print it off and get quotes from other jewellers.</EM></STRONG><P><STRONG><EM></EM></STRONG> </P><P><A class=a &#111;nfocus=if(this.blur)this.blur() href="http://www.diamondessence.ca/earrings1.cfm?productid=2358&amp;categoryid=3&amp;subcategoryid=14"><IMG height=100 alt=2144W src="http://www.diamondessence.ca/images/2144W-100.JPG" width=100 border=0></A>Wed, 05 Apr 2006 23:13:14 GMTdiamondesshttp://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic2079-4-1.aspxYou have something to look forward to on your anniversary now! How sweet of your FH to suggest that!Wed, 05 Apr 2006 23:11:33 GMTMrsMtobehttp://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic2079-4-1.aspxMy description of my ring was wordy, so I managed to find a picture (the only difference being my center stone is round)</P><P><A title=http://photobucket.com/albums/b137/linzlounz/? href="http://photobucket.com/albums/b137/linzlounz/?" target=_blank><IMG class=pic style="WIDTH: 284px; HEIGHT: 181px" height=432 alt="engagement ring" src="http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b137/linzlounz/Picture066.jpg" width=576></A>Wed, 05 Apr 2006 22:53:02 GMTjessicahhttp://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic2079-4-1.aspxI think your FH is very sweet to suggest that - what a great idea too! A plain band will be gorgeous, bit it would be a very lovely anniversary gift down the road to get the band you really wanted to begin with! Wed, 05 Apr 2006 22:39:32 GMTlstreethttp://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic2079-4-1.aspxSo sad....<BR><BR>I love my ering, it has a round diamond in the centre with a bagette on either side. It is very hard to find a band to fit with it because the center stone sticks out too far to butt a regular band up to it. So we visited the jeweller who sold us the ring to see about getting a matching band. The band would have 2 bagettes matching the ering with a thin band of gold beside the center diamond. We knew it would be more expensive than a regular plain band, but when the jeweller came back with a quote of $800 I was stunned!<BR>I think my face showed this because he let us know that he could design the same kind of band without the diamonds for $200. Unfortunatly, marrying young we don't have the budget to spend $800 on my ring, so we will be going with the less expensive version. I am saddened, but I am being realistic. My FH suggested that perhaps when we are better suited financially, for one of our wedding anniversaries he would get the band we had hoped to get. <BR>That's one of the qualities I love about him, always trying to find a positive point to every situation.Wed, 05 Apr 2006 22:33:18 GMTjessicah
