Rosebloom I really like that ring! What a great find. I stalk that style of three stone on the antique vendor sites. On my wishlist!

LOVE it! You mentioned ER - will she wear a band with it, or no?

Thanks Woofmama and Motownmama! She has a 2mm platinum band that was her wedding band. I hope it'll work well. And I could see it with a bezeled milgrained dainty diamond eternity someday. Maybe little carre cuts or asschers? She'll need to have her next baby in April. :)

I just posted my custom 5 stone e-ring, and thought I'd link it to this thread.

1.25 tcw of BGD Signature stones.
4.5 finger
18k gold

For more details go here: https://www.pricescope.com/communit...m-5-stone-ering.189280/#post-3447989#p3447989

Ironically I have now had 2 engagement rings of 1.25 tcw. The first was a traditional solitaire that probably cost 2 - 3x more than this one when it was bought from a brick and mortar. And this one has so much more "fire power" than that one. I love it!!

Such beautiful rings! Here is mine, .598 ct, J IF, AGS ideal cut, symmetry, and polish. HCA score of 1. Paid $1900 including setting. Plenty of money leftover to add a diamond band. ;-) photo-45_1.jpg

RissaLou,
I love your white gold band from overstock! I've been browsing the site but haven't found it exactly - is it the Miadora ring by any chance? Thanks!

Here is mine under $1K. It's not actually an engagement ring but it could be. It's a .56 AGS0 M SI1 in a Stuller illusion box. I know many people don't care for color in their modern round brilliant stones. I got this as a pendant, planning to upgrade to a higher color when I could afford it, as my e ring is an H. I ended up constantly taking the pendant off to look at it in different lighting scenarios because it always looks different and that intrigued me. In the sunlight it looks just as blindingly blue-white as my H (guessing that's thanks to the strong blue fluorescence). Sometimes it looks almost golden like the yellow band it's currently set in. In the car it looks downright dingy (but so does the H so I'm thinking it's reflecting the gray overhead), and in my bathroom it looks like super sparkly vanilla ice cream (which is my favorite appearance). I was so enamored I eventually decided I was keeping the stone and putting it where I could always see it. I paid $746 for the diamond at brilliance.com and $250 for the setting through a local jeweler, so here is my cheap little beauty.

With the rest of my modest collection (on my pinky). The emerald cut bezel ring also comes in at under $2K, but I don't love that one so much. Will eventually upgrade the size and put it in some prongs.

On my old computer I have some good pics showing the arrows, but now all I've got is crummy iPhone pics. Oh well.

Thank you, I love it too. I actually bought this ring when it was on clearance and wanted to buy a second to wear on either side of my original ering, but it sold out before I was able to. I'm sorry I don't know where you could find another one, but I'm sure you could find something similar. Just in case it might help you I posted a link to the band from overstock, you can register with them and they'll email you if they get anymore in stock. I also attached a link of a similar band. Good luck, I hope you find something you love!

If you meant mine, THANK YOU!! I spend quite a good deal of time staring at it.

The M is just a 5.3mm stone, but with the illusion box I feel like it's the perfect size for a dainty but sparkly diamond ring. And for such little money. :D

I did mean you! I cant decide on my next project. But its either an M colored solitaire or a E/W bezel marquise. Either way, im too frugal* to spend over 3 k on it.

I'm just too poor! :lol: I don't foresee shelling out engagement ring type cash for anything in the near future, but the little projects make me happy too. Like the pink tourmaline I'm waiting to pick up...

Oh and I LOVE your five stone by the way. I didn't realize it was yours until I saw it again in your avatar.
