I'm in New York and my boyfriend is stationed in Hawaii and he mentioned several months ago that he needed to start saving up for a ring. Being long distance and not having many opportunities to be in the same place I suggested we look at rings together in hawaii when I go to visit him in a couple of months.

He then said 'good because I was planning on getting a ring before you got here but I think New York would be cheaper.'

I wish he hadn't told me that lol since I wanted to be surprised for my proposal and to be honest id prefer he proposed in hawaii so we would have time to look at venues for the wedding ect.

However I do wonder though if anyone knows how true it is that diamond engagement rings would cost more in hawaii??

Any thoughts or experience in the matter please let me know-- thanks so much!!
 
look in Hawaii buy on line.........I just got back from hawaii not cheap.....
 
Hawaii is very expensive. I remember when I was there on vacation everything cost so much more then in NY and BTW I am from NY and live in NY.
I would look but not buy in Hawaii. If you are in NY there are so many PS Vendors that are located in NY you could buy from and get a better deal then the stores in Hawaii.

Good luck!
 
I guess that makes sense since there are a lot more options in NY. I guess for me since he'd be coming to NY 6 months after our time together in Hawaii a proposal sooner made more sense so we could plan for the wedding.

Looking at rings together in Hawaii and possibly getting a loose diamond online sounds like a good way to go.. Also Ritani seems to have nice ring settings and they have stores that cares them in hawaii and ny for the same price :)

Thank you guys for your input-- I appreciate it! :)
