re: Trading in for a new wedding/engagement ring?

The one you picked isn't "simple"...

My stone isn't that big & mine was a chunk of change for sure. We were older & more established when we got married. The ring you would "die for" is not at all in the same price arena as the ring you have....like they aren't even on the same continent.

Yeah, I meant that stone was HUGE! lol

And I find it quite funny that the "ad" on this page was for engagement rings lol

Agreed, unless she's willing to go down to a topaz stone or something.

I think it's gaudy.

The ads change with what you're looking at   it's sort of...creepy in a way

Yeah I totally understand that. I don't want something that big. Looking at it now, I totally get what you ladies are saying.

And I would like a topaz actually. I think they're pretty. Or a moonstone

LOL I was about to say something. That happened earlier in a thread talking about depression and the add was about a depression study.

That's funny!

So ladies, I went and put my glasses on and realised just how big that ring is! Sorry! God, I need to start looking at things properly. What do you think of these rings?

I actually really love the weirdness of this ring



^^ That's how big I thought that ring was! Goddamn, I really need to listen to my mother about putting my glasses on more.

I still don't know if you realize that is probably at least a carat.


That is 1.25 carat

1 carat

They are all topaz. Every single one of them is at least $300 cheaper than the one I have right now.

Then that is much more doable. ;)

I actually think your other ring is quite pretty though. I have a sapphire/white gold that looks quite a bit like it in style. I haven't worn it since we had kids because it seems scratchy, so I fell out of habit.

I have a cz ring exactly like this 3rd one that I ordered off of Amazon to temporarily replace my real wedding set that I can't wear while preggo because of swelling. Mine came with a matching wedding band also. The set was $50. I'm really impressed with how real it looks beside my real diamond. I had ordered another cz set and returned it because it was so huge and gaudy but everyone thinks this one is real. So if you are looking to go the cheaper route that would be my suggestion. I can send the link if you want it.
