I have a limited budget here ... $500.00 max.
Pleaseee help me pick out wedding set for her ... She prefers a Princess cut, Buttt, has also stated that she likes marquise cut also
We seen a Keepsake ring at local Wally-World she liked ... Are keepsakes worth the price?? ...$498
Have also looked at Ice.Com .... Worth the price ??
What about Orange Blossom from K-Mart ... Worth the price ?? Around $350
She likes it simple , Nothing real flashy, Size 7.5, White gold, .25-.5 Carat
Any input from U guys/gals will be EXTREMELY APPRECIATED ...
Thanks in advance
 
Well, I think your best bet is to let her look at those choices and tell you which ones she likes best! You might try Sam''s Club or Costco, too. Another option is to look at a pawn shop. You might get more for your money there.

Best of luck to you!
 
Hi, NEO, welcome to PS. 500 is definitely possible, but it takes some work.

This is $266 http://www.exceldiamonds.com/AGS-0_Ideal_Cut_Princess_Diamond/AGS-0_Ideal_Cut_Princess_0.28_Carat_I_Color_VVS1_Clarity_diamond-204068.html

Plus their most basic setting, you''re at about $550. Sorry, no wedding band with it...
 
What is the $500 for? Both rings and stone?
 
Cant hurt to look on Ebay as well or Craigslist....
 
Yes, im having a hard time trying to find ering+wedding band with your budget...is the $500 just for the ering or both ering and weddingband
 
If you were including the wedding band, unless you are getting married immediately, you can hold off on that. A plain WG band will run you around $125-200. You can save up and get that later!
 
I vote pawn shop!! I just helped my friend find his (now fiancee)a ring for $500. You have to look around a lot and haggle, but you can find some really nice stuff!!

Hi Neo,

Did you find set yet? I know you said your girl is set on a princess or marquise, but I found a set on ebay as I was browsing and I think this is really pretty for the price of $475 w/ free shipping. When I saw it, I searched PS again for your thread to post this for you. I don''t know what the cut is but from the pictures, the diamonds don''t look dull or cloudy. What do you think?

Best of luck!

Dont'' want to threadjack, but I''d love to see what you found
 
Hello NEO,


I love the pawn shop idea, it would be great if you picked up an OMC/OEC!

If it were me, I would prefer to get a nice(ish) stone with an upgrade policy, rather than a 'set' but here are come options. I am sorry most are over budget - I have only chosen rings I could live with myself and am the first to admit that fancy cuts are not my speciality.

$360 .3 round I SI1 (Check eyeclean) http://www.jamesallen.com/diamonds/I-SI1-Ideal-Cut-Round-Diamond-1201092.asp?b=16&a=12&c=77&cid=131

These are pre made sets from overstock, obviously no upgrades here, not the best quality in the world either but some of theie stuff is very pretty. Just check the return policy, if you like it, buy it.
