army girl NEEDS HELP

[armylynn]

Hello everyone, I am new to the pricescope postings although I have been reading the posts for a couple of weeks now. So here is my situation: My husband and I planned to have the engagement then wedding like most normal people, but instead fate ended up sending us both to Iraq (where I am currently) for a year long deployment. We are married but my hubby never had time to get me a dream ring and wants to do it now. I have been looking through the sites posted here and I also came across www.sunjewelry.com and wondered if anyone has done business with them. I also found some "dream rings" on james allen''s website. I like the halo (is that what they are called?) type rings, square cut but am open to suggestions. The goal is to have the ring back by the end of January when we go on leave, so I can at least wear it for a while there. Is that too soon for ordering online? Any imput would be greatly appreciated

I have never heard of sunjewelry, but as for ordering online, I would definitely do it right away because the rings take a few weeks to be made and shipped. My wedding ring took 3 or 4 weeks if I remember correctly... just a heads up! Congrats on your marriage, and both of you stay safe!

This is one link to a ring I do like....you can either have them put the stone in or add an EGL / and or GIA certifed diamond in the setting. Really do not know a whole lot about diamonds (although I have been reading a lot lately from everyones great tips) but even less about settings, I just know that is something like the style I like....any imput? Thanks!!

Well, first off, did you want the ring to be preset with the diamond, or do you want to choose the diamond first and then have it set into the setting of your choice? The latter allows for you to have a LOT more input on what the diamond will look like, but it is also more time consuming. And as for the halo setting, I think it''s very lovely and a lot of jewelers carry rings similar to that.

Here''s a bunch of vendors on the PS site, and look around a bit and see if I can find something similar to what you are looking for as well. There''s a LOT of eye candy on this link though, so watch out!

I would suggest sticking to one of the PS vendors here, who will give you your $ back if you aren''t happy. I have worked with WF and I can tell you that Bob over there is fabulous, and will go to the ends of the earth to get you what you''d like. As you can see there are many others here who love GOG, EGr., etc.

The halo rings are beautiful, and give you a lot of look for less $. I know that both WF and GOG have those styles.

I hope you can come home soon for good.
