What are some good options for non-traditional engagement/wedding rings?
What if a girl doesn’t want a diamond? She doesn’t really like them, and she is concerned about questionable diamond/gem trade practices. What else could I buy that would be of equal quality/value/significance?
Or, on the flipside, how can I buy a diamond that I know came from a safe, legal, non-exploitative background?
Can my Yellow gold engagement & wedding rings be turn into White Gold?
Hi,
My husband gave me a cheap cz engagement ring when we first got engaged…he was a poor student back then. Well, he then bought me a real .5 ct diamond for that engagement ring and i loved it. I still felt the stone was too small, so we upgraded the ring was mounting the diamond on a ring that had more little diamonods on the sides…but it was a yellow gold ring and the wedding band is also yellow. I’m now more into the white gold and I want to know if its possible to transform/change those yellow gold rings to white gold? does anyone out there know anything? I don’t think it will be possible but if anyone out there knows please reply.
Thanks.
Anyone else like non diamond engagement rings?
A few years ago I got a ‘promise ring’ from my boyfriend, it is very simple with small diamonds in it. I love it, but there are hundreds of rings out there just like it.
We have been discussing marriage and looking at rings lately, and I have come to decide that I dont really want a diamond engagement ring!
We have decided on the ring (mostly), I got to help with some of the major decisions, and now he is tweaking it to make it a special and unique ring. We are having the engagement ring and wedding bands both custom made by a wonderful jeweler. We have chosen a gemstone (tourmaline) that has significant meaning to both of us, and the particular stone we have on hold is beautiful!
I know the ring doesnt make the marriage, nor does the stone. But does anyone else have a non traditional ring? What do people have to say about it? Are you always explaining the ring?
Fusing of wedding rings?
I would like to know the pros and cons of fusing your engagement and wedding rings together. Mine are always slipping around and the diamond on my wedding rings pokes and scratches….what do you all think about having them fused together. Thanks so much!
just thought i would add….my wedding ring is the one with the diamond and my engagement ring is flat with a bunch of inset diamonds and i dont take it off…i want to know wheather or not you like yours separate or apart….how do they feel etc. thanks again.
engagement rings advice on wedding bands?
okay so i have a 1 carat princess cut solitare I am looking at eternity bands…. do you think a eternity band with round diamonds would look silly with my ring?? Any suggestion of a wedding band for my princess cut solitare?
Has anyone taken old engagement/wedding rings in to be redone for a newer ring?
I have a very nice engagement/wedding and a anniversary ring and am now divorced. I want to take the rings in and have them redone so that they do not represent my old relationship. Has anyone out there done this and if so, is it expensive or hard to do? They all have diamonds in them.
