I stumbled across this site a few months ago when the boy and I started thinking about getting engaged. I had no idea what sort of ring I wanted or what we could afford - as we haven''t been out of college too long. There is SO much great information on this site!! I have really fallen for the Ritani Endless Love setting, but had written it off as a "upgrade, someday" as it really didn''t fit our current budget.
And then, I found a set on Craigslist that is my size and seems to be a super deal. I pasted in the "ad" below.
Endless Love Ritani engagement and wedding rings for sale. Willing to negotiate on price! these rings are gorgeous - i just have no need for them. i have documentation papers from Fink''s Jewelers.
Engagement Ring:
.54 Round Brilliant G Color and SI1 Clarity Grade.
The ring has 56 diamonds set around the center stone and along the shank - these diamonds are G-H in color, VS2-SI1 clarity and have a ttoal weight of .27 carat.
Mounting is platinum.
Total carat weight for entire ring is .81.
Size 5.
Value of $4,700.00
Wedding Ring:
49 Round Brililant cut diamonds with G-H color and VS1-VS2 clarity.
Total diamond weight is .22 carat.
Setting is platinum.
Size 5.
Value of $1,880.00
Seller is willing to let BOTH RINGS go for $2700. It seems too good to be true. I know this is a STEAL for these rings, but I have some reservations and hope you can help answer my questions.
1) There is no spacer bar. I actually wear a 4.5 or 4.75, so, there is a little "wiggle room" with these rings. But one day down the road if my fingers grow - what can I do about sizing the rings? Will I be able to, or will I have to get something different and give up on this set completely? As an aside, my mom has never had her rings sized and she was married young (20!) and had 2 kids. Can I hope those good finger genes have been passed to me?!
2) Is there any sort of warranty with Ritani rings? I do worry about the pave diamonds becoming loose or being damaged. But as this is such a great deal on this set, I''ve also told myself that we could purchase a plain wedding band that I could wear when I am doing work outside, camping or biking. And then I wouldn''t need to worry about damaging the rings.
3) Any suggestions on what I should have checked if we do decide to purchase these rings. The seller is willing to meet us at a store of our choice to have the rings checked...
Thanks in advance for you patience with all my questions! I''m excited about this possibility, but I don''t want to rush into purchasing something that isn''t going to be quite what I expected!
