My boyfriend and I are planning on getting married and we want to tell our families at Christmas. I'd like to have the ring by then, but we really haven't started seriously looking yet. I've been looking at different colored gemstones, but that's it. We have no idea where to start, we're a young couple and haven't bought expensive jewelry before.
Do we have to go custom, or can we find a nice ring already made?
If we go custom, how does the process work?
Can we finish this by Christmas?
What I'm looking for - well, I all I've really decided is I want a stone that is on the big side, and I'm not comfortable spending a lot of money on a ring.
Budget: >$1500, less is better.
Gemstone: I'm leaning toward blue spinel at the moment, but I've also considered purple spinel, green/grey sapphires, purple rhodolite, peachy morganite, London blue topaz...a lot of different stones.
I really like the London blue topaz color, but is that a good stone for an engagement ring? I also know I want a pretty simple setting, maybe baguettes on the side or just solitaire.
Help! I'm really lost.
