Narrowed it to 2 choices (Wedding Band)!

TammyLynn · Apr 2, 2015

Hello!

I appreciate all the advice and photos on these forums. I am in love with the single shared prong look and have finally narrowed it down to two choices! Here's the look I'm going for:

My top 2 choices:

1. Luann with I.D. Jewelry quoted me $950 for a 9 stone .45ct FG color Si Clarity.

2. Jeff at Pearlman's quoted me $2125 with Pricescope discount for the 11 diamond Si G .42ct Memoire Purity ring:

I also have a call into my local store where we got the engagement ring. They carry Memoire but they haven't gotten back to me with a price yet.

From my reading it sounds like Memoire is THE brand for this type of eternity band. However, I'd like to get good value for my money and if the quality is good, ID might be the route to go. Does anyone have/has anyone seen the ID single prong band? Any comments on the quality?

Thanks again for all the help so far!

I really recommend Memoire. It is very high quality and the stones are set low and don't usually scratch the e-ring prongs.

I can't say regarding the I.D. Band, but they do have a great reputation on PS. I have tried on Memoire bands and second Diamondseeker as to the great quality & low profile. Maybe try on a Memoire band at your local store to see how you like it in person. Please post pics once you decide.

Update:

I'm 99.9% sure I'm going to get the Memoire Band in white gold to match the e-ring. $1650 out the door from Pearlman's with Pricescope discount.

The only hold-up is that I cannot find this ring to try on locally and Memoire has none in stock. It will have to be made for me and therefore non-returnable.

Someone push me over the ledge. Would you buy a non-returnable ring sight unseen?
