Is it okay to buy a really nice engagement ring instead of a wedding ring? or just buy a nice wedding ring for the engagement instead of doing the two... because he really dosent want to spend the money to buy me two nice rings he would rather spend it all on one ? idk how this part works help would be great.. This is the ring but with a white gold band i was thinking about just waring this and sometime after the wedding put teogther a wedding ring... http://www.kay.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product1%7C10101%7C10001%7C-1%7C990108603%7C15051%7C15051.15056.15103 or just keep it and not even bother with a new one ..

  1. It's up to you and what you want. My engagement ring was about £100 ($200) and my wedding ring will be simple, and about £40 ($80)
  2. get a nice engagement ring and then get a simple gold (or white gold) band for the wedding day. you can easily get one for $60. if you don't have both, people will ask you constantly..."when are you getting married..." and if you're OK with that, then that's fine.
  3. Have you thought about bridal sets? It's two rings for the price of one. Look on line and get an idea of what you want.
  4. The answer to that is whatever the two of your are comfortable with. If jewelry is not a central issue in your life, really, and you'd rather take the money you'd save and spend it on starting a life together -- there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Its whatever the two of you are both happy and comfortable with. Nobody (with class) will tell you you are wrong.
  5. I know my fiance spent a good some of money on my engagement ring. And im just going to pick a simple wedding ring that looks good with my engagement ring. But we are both buying eachothers wedding bands. :)
  6. HE CAN GET A WIDE BAND RING TO SERVE AS BOTH WITH A DIAMOND
  7. Whatever you like would be great. I got a nice engagement ring and got my wedding ring tattooed on.
  8. If YOU are okay with just getting one ring, then go for it, but frankly, I don't see why he can't buy you a moderately priced engagement ring, and a simple gold or white gold band to match for the wedding. I thought I was okay with not having an engagement ring and just a wedding band, but I started to resent the fact that he didn't think it'd be nice to at least get me a small little $50 ring as a symbolic gesture. I was happy with my gold band as well till I found out his MOM paid for it. I was like, what the heck! Couldn't you shell out ANY cash for my sake? Sorry for the tangent, just letting you know what you could be in for. He DID end up giving me his grandmother's diamond ring as an engagement ring, but not before I complained about not having one.
  9. We went with this one....it's kinda the two combined in one.
  10. I loved my original wedding ring, which was just a very plain 3mm gold band which cost about $40. It looked nice next to my oval solitaire (about $1200). I now have an anniversary band to wear instead of my plain band, but I still like the idea of two rings together, since one represents the promise of marriage and the other represents the promise of "'til death do us part." And the plain band is really inexpensive. My sister, however, has a lovely single ring that stands for both. Hers is an emerald-cut diamond with two slender platinum bands holding the setting. She loves the single ring, since her engagement was very short and she wanted a stone in her ring. I agree with the person who said it's what YOU want that matters. If it matters to you to have two rings, consider your sweetie's budget and help him look. Sometimes you can find a wedding set that's inexpensive. If you don't care whether you have two rings or one, tell him that. And best wishes on your engagement.
  11. If you get just a plan wedding band, it really isn't all that much money. And if he's worried about the cost, your engagement ring doesn't need to be so big.
  12. I think that you are fine to get just one ring, but that ring would look really nice with a plain 3mm white gold band, they are maybe $100-$200. I can't imagine that it would be unthinkable to spend that on a band after spending $3500 on the engagement ring. Later you can always get a nice diamond band. On another note, I think you should shop around for that ring. A three stone princess cut ring is very popular and can be found at most stores. That ring is graded anywhere from a SI2-I1 clarity and H/I color. Not very nice diamonds for $3500. Here are some examples from another site: $1300 white gold & $1700 platinum, similar if not better diamonds 1.00ct total weight: http://www.worldjewels.com/_e/Three_Stone_Diamond_Ring/product/b-132/Three_Stone_Diamond_Ring_1_25_ct_tw_.htm $1800 white gold & $2200 platinum, same or probably better diamonds, 1.25ctw w/ a 3/4 ct center: http://www.worldjewels.com/_e/Three_Stone_Diamond_Ring/product/b-132/Three_Stone_Diamond_Ring_1_25_ct_tw_.htm $3200 white gold & $3500 platinum 1.5ctw w/ a 1.00 ct center: http://www.worldjewels.com/_e/Three_Stone_Diamond_Ring/product/k-190/Three_Stone_Diamond_Ring_1_50_ct_tw_.htm this one has a certified 1.00 ct center $3500: http://www.worldjewels.com/_e/Three_Stone_Diamond_Ring/product/k-58/Three_Stone_Diamond_Ring_1_50_ct_tw_.htm blue nile $2500: http://www.bluenile.com/product_details.asp?oid=6245&catid=138&filter_id=0&nav1=band_channel.asp&page=1&col=2&row=2&pos=5&set_shape= Don't be fooled by the claims on the Leo diamond, they are marketing ploys to get people to by subpar diamonds at higher prices. Crescent Jewelers did the same thing with their Imperial collections, having certified colorless diamonds that had poor clarity. Shop around.
  13. Usually the engagement ring is the nicest one. Mine ran him about $2,000. It's a very detailed carriage with 1 carat diamonds. Then the band is a simple curved band with 1 carat total weight round diamonds. Which ran about $500. It's really up to you. With the ring you have on here you can get a simple gold band. It doesn't need diamonds at all. It might actually overdue it with that engagment ring. And you don't have to worry about his and yours matching. Mine is white gold his is tungsten carbide which is sort of a gun metal color.
  14. Have you thought about maybe a wedding set? Thats what I have and its really nice and I dont even wanna think about how much it cost. I got a quad princess cut for the engagment ring and it also came with an intrelocking band as the wedding band.
  15. I have seen a lot of women lately who only wear their engagement ring and I have also seen women wear only the band its all about personal preferance. My ring was not bought as a set and its unique so I am having trouble finding a wedding band that matches or looks good with my engagement ring. but its what I want. It all depends on what you want.
  16. i know the leo vendor well. leo's are great rings, more facets than normal diamonds. this ring in particular i have seen a thousand times, they are mass produced in a sense. i would say get the leo and a small band. http://jewelrypurchase.blogspot.com/
  17. He can get a lovely set for way less than a third of the cost of the ring you showed! http://www.kay.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product1|10101|10001|-1|940142900|15051|15051.15057.15107 http://www.kay.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product1|10101|10001|-1|940143000|15051|15051.15057.15107 http://www.zales.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2249984&cp&kw=16923989&origkw=16923989&sr=1
