My boyfriend and I have been ering shopping. After convincing him that I''m anything but traditional he''s finally agreed to look at colored stones. Seriously he kept telling me an ering HAD to be a diamond. I don''t actually like diamonds or wear them. I don''t really have a stone preference. I love pads! I also like greens, blues, pinks, yellows and greens. Meaning if it''s the right ring then I''ll just know. The only problem is our budget is 3K or under but we''d like to upgrade the stone(s) later when finances are better. I like antique style settings. I love side stones. The only setting I dislike is the 3 stone setting. I''ve looked at The Natural Sapphire Company but not a big fan of the presets there. Thought I''d ask here to see if anyone has any suggestions?
