So, I'm getting married Oct 1st this year. I've been searching for 8 months for a wedding band to go with my vintage engagement ring. I have a few candidates but non that were love at first sight and all are from online shops, so there's a chance I might not like them.
I want an 8 stone diamond band (I have 8 babies) but was thinking of saving for that after we get married because 1. We're having a super small budget wedding 2. My fiancé is on a leave from work because our youngest 3mths old had open heart surgery (she doing very well) and he's helping me with the other kids so I can tend to her without added stress.
So all in all my plan was to find an antique/vintage simple, thin band and add a diamond band later.
But today I stopped in at the pawn shop and they gave a 12 stone 1ctw Sl2 band for $800 CAD. That's the regular posted price, so realistically I can probably get closer to $600.
I think it's too overwhelming though. It sits quite high in comparison to my dainty e ring and for the 8 stone I wanted, I was thinking smaller... 0.05ct - 0.08ct each. Between 40-60pt ctw and either shared double prongs with a U shaped gallery or low bezel set with millgrain.
Thoughts....
