Ever since I saw this ring I cant get it out of my head. I compare every other one I look at to this.


My problem is I'm not entirely sure we will be able to afford it (we still have a year and abit togo, but money will be tight) I haven't be able to find one like it anywhere else.


If any of you have seen it anywhere any help would be appreciated!

That's a beautiful ring.  We both spent a little more on our wedding rings because that's one part of the wedding that you'll have forever.  I would suggest taking that picture to an independent jeweller and having them make it for you.  That would be much cheaper than buying it at Birks because of their markup. 

Just a suggestion that might help you stay within your ring budget

I agree with July7bride. Take the picture to other jewellers and get quotes from them.

I agree with the above posts. It's a beautiful ring!!

I would most definitely get your diamonds from a jewler and not buy the ring from Birks...they mark up the rings SO much.

You'll definitely be able to afford the ring of your dreams if you shop around!!!

Yah, if you go to a jewelry store that custom makes jewelry..they should be able to replicate it!

Thats what we're doing with FH's ring!

Ok, those diamonds are 0.01 carats each, for a cwt of .17 carats...

I bought my ring for $900 (cash) and got 11 diamonds, 0.05 carats each.

I'm 100% positive you can get a better deal than the website is showing...

we went to Omni Jewelcrafters at HWY 7 and Keele in Vaughan...

Wow, I kinda feel really cheep right now.. lol... FH and i went and picked out our rings and combined they just reach 500 CAD w tax, mine has i think 6 or 7 diamonds, white gold, and his is titanium

Acutally found the one i am getting on that website and they show it as 1400 on there, and i am getting it at oceans for way less, pretty sure same ring,
