$700 is the budget. And I am sure he'd be happy paying less.

She is super into vintage things so a used vintage style is ideal.

Yellow gold we are thinking, but not picky at this budget.

Help me find one? I'm so excited about this hunt! I have some time to really find something beautiful. And the marquise o was looking at is just barely out of his budget, and that ring is a beauty.

Help a girl out

Diamond or gemstone? I'll look tonight.

If she likes sapphire and this would be great coverage:

slightly out of budget but I bet they would drop the price being that it ends in less then an hr!

Pretty but I didn't see a face on shot of the diamond. Still under budget:

yellow gold 5 stone:

Re: Yay! Looking for my fbil engagement ring on a mega budge

Diamonds ideally I think but rubies are allowable too


I love the marquise one! And the ruby and diamond one. Passing those along. He really lives the marquise one too. I told him to wait and offer after the bidding ends.... is that how you could play it? Or ask them about it prior to the biing ending.

Hes very partial to marquise.

Re: Yay! Looking for my fbil engagement ring on a mega budge

I think it just takes patience and searching; I grabbed a vintage white gold filigree e-ring with a .50 OEC for just under $400 last month, and my brother bought it from me to give to my SIL (she lost her stone).

Not yellow gold, but this might be nice:

.60 OMC in platinum

You liked the same one twice.... I'm curious what the other one was. You're finding great stuff. He loves the first marquise you posted.

This looks like a good one.

I love threads like this! It's so much fun looking at the beautiful little treasures that are suggested.

(Most of these aren't yellow gold, but I'm just trying to toss out anything that might be a possibility.)

Re: Yay! Looking for my fbil engagement ring on a mega budge

I'm thinking of starting a WTB see if there's anything out there. The ladies here do have the most lovely things.

But please keep it coming!!

That is a great idea. I am sure a few of us (myself included) are thinking of selling some things that just "sit around."
 
 
Re: Yay! Looking for my fbil engagement ring on a mega budge

Heres my new favorite. The quality looks amazing!
