Hi everyone,
My fiance and I were looking at weddings bands this weekend.
First we went to the mall and looked at the typical stores - Zales, Helzberg, etc.
She saw a ring she liked at Zales (.1 carat - $600)
Then we went to a place I've heard about - Tri-County (which is like a big indoors flea market/vendor place in Long Island)
We looked at some rings there, and after visiting many vendors there (about 10) she only saw 1 ring she liked.
It was .5 carats and only $400.
I asked if there were certifications on the ring, and she told me that wedding bands are usually not certified because the diamonds are too small to "waste" their time on.
So how can I make sure these are quality (real) diamonds?
How could it be 5 times the size but almost half the price?
I mentioned to my fiance she can look online for a ring (cheaper and better quality) but she wants to actually TRY on the ring, so she can make sure it fits right and looks right on her finger.
Thanks
