Peach halo right hand ring advice?

CookieLady · Apr 29, 2015

Hi!!

I'm new to Pricescope. I'm on weddingbees.com and I was searching for a new right hand ring the bees told me that you ladies were the best!!

I'm on a budget and trying to get my dream ring...it's hard being picky and having expensive taste on a budget!! i guess if it's really outside of my budget I'll just have to wait a bit longer...but let's see what you guys come up with? Can't hurt to ask?

I am really liking the peachy/pink stones like morganite or peach sapphire (real or lab is fine). What I'm looking for is either a silver or rose gold halo rectangular cushion (plain top) or radiant (I don't like emerald cuts) peachy/pink stone with a halo. i don't care if the halo is CZ's, or white sapphire, or white topaz, just going for that look. I have a few inspiration pics. I need to stay under $250, which may mean that I just can't afford it right now...but we'll see. Can't hurt to ask.

Thanks for your help in advance!!

You are correct that your budget may not accommodate your want, even in a silver cz setting.

My fiance has a rose gold morganite ring from this vendor, and she loves it. They are good quality and you can't beat the price. This sapphire may be a little too pink for your tastes, but they might be able to replace it with a morganite. Most of their stuff is close to your price range.

WOW Tourma guy......that sure looks nice. Lab sapphire and fits perfectly with what the op wants. Nice!!!

Thanks Tourma guy!! I am definitely looking into that seller right now. The only other option I found was slightly outside my budget but my BF agreed to help me.

I still want to check out the Etsy seller because I like the ring you selected but here we go:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Semi-Mount-Setting-Engagement-Real-Diamonds-Ring-8X6mm-Cushion-10K-White-Gold-/381118306373?afsrc=1&rmvSB=true&afsrc=1&rmvSB=true

That in 10k rose gold. The merchant will size the ring for me, and set the ring for free. The setting of the stone and the cost of the mount will be about $250. My bf agreed to buy me a lab created peachy pink sapphire and mail it to the company!!

CookieLady, I'm sure you are aware you are comparing a 10 K ring to a 14 K one. A total of .2 kt diamonds comparing to nearly .5 kt lab white sapphires. I'd urge you to ask the US based etsy seller questions and specify what exactly you want, in case they can get/make that too. I get concerned with Chinese rings because there are no dimensions on the ring itself and those tiny diamonds look pretty big in comparison to the metal in the photo's. Good luck!!!

I fully understand. The option I posted was just the only thing I could find on my own. I sent an email to the Etsy seller asking if they had that ring in rose gold...since I am leaning more towards that. I know that they have Morganite in their store, but as I found out I am gravitating towards a darker Morganite or a peachy/pink sapphire like the one I posted. The etsy seller charges $25 to resize the ring, which is fine with me. So I'm waiting for a quote with the Etsy seller. My bf has agree to help me with this, as he knows I rarely buy jewelry. I'd much rather get something from a seller in the US so I'm hoping this option works for me.

so excited...I'm surprised I missed it!! Etsy is a site I absolutely love, and it's great that Tourma guy KNOWS first hand about the quality of their rings.

Yea my fiance is pretty picky about jewelry, but the moment she saw this ring https://www.etsy.com/listing/201168341/cushion-cut-morganite-engagement-ring?ref=shop_home_active_20 she knew she had to have it. She went with the sapphire ring vs the diamonds because the band was a little more substantial. The morganite is more on the peachy than pink side, so it should be right up your alley (she also wanted a more peach stone).

I emailed the Etsy seller and I'm waiting on a reply. I'm excited!! I've definitely settled on this sapphire which is a lab created peach and pink and purple padparadscha sapphire **edited by moderator, please read our policies**
I'm hoping that the Etsy seller has the ring you originally posted in rose gold, otherwise I may just get it in white gold anyway. I'd much rather go through a US seller than a chinese ebay seller, especially when I have the endorsement of someone who is picky like I am!!

Thank you soooo much!!

Sorry still new to the site!! If it makes it any better I went with a Natural Salmon Morganite 11x9 rectangular cushion with .30cts natural diamonds. My bf ended up helping me with the ring because I couldn't find exactly what I want in my budget. I also found an Etsy seller who was fine with breaking it up into 3 payments. I want to thank everyone who helped me, you guys are awesome!!

Here it is!!
