Hello Pricescopers! I’ve been lurking on this site for years and rarely post, but now that I have a lovely engagement ring, I wanted to share!
I’ve always loved the classic Tiffany solitaire and dreamed of getting a ring in a blue box one day, but after doing some research on this forum, I learned that the Tiffany mark-up would likely be much more than we could afford unless I went with a much smaller diamond. My fiance and I had a modest budget and didn’t want to put a ton of money towards a piece of jewelry. We had tentatively decided on a replica from a Pricescope vendor at around half a carat. Still, I kept thinking “Wouldn’t it be great to have an actual Tiffany ring?”
Then one night I came across a listing on DB for a .55 carat Tiffany solitaire and Lucida wedding band that was previously owned by a PSer. I showed my fiance and he agreed that a second hand ring would be a great way to stay within budget and still get exactly what I want. The diamond looks gorgeous and it is the perfect size for my finger. I absolutely love it and I’m thrilled that I was able to get a Tiffany ring at a reasonable price. I’m not an expert on cut, but the diamond is very sparkly and faces up very white (thanks in part to the fluor, I’m sure).
Thanks again to Butterfly17 for the beautiful rings!
Now that the engagement ring has been polished and sized, time for pics! I don’t have any pics with the wedding band, maybe I will post some after I have it polished.
