I''m so excited about this! My dad told me this morning on our daily on-the-way-to-work talks that he''s planning on buying my mom a new ring for their 35th Anniversary this May. Back when my dad proposed, they were very poor and he spent a whopping $350 on her ring. She''s worn a thousand little diamonds all piled up to look like one big rock for the past 35 years without a single complaint or request for a new one.
He told me that he doesn''t want to spend any more than $2,000, which I know is do-able. My mom is not a flashy person and I can''t see her with a big rock on her finger anyways - so I think that $2,000 is a suitable budget for what my mom would want.
He left the ring selection up to me (how fun!!)
Here''s what I know so far: Definitely white gold, I''m not certain about a solitaire - maybe a three stone or a solitaire with a halo - my mom LOVES all things "antique" - so, if possible, I''d love to find her something to that affect - and halo''s have that beautiful victorian feel to her...
Any help would be massively appreciated since I really don''t know where to start! I never went ring shopping with FI, so I''m not positive if these requests are even possible with the budget given.
Thanks in advance ladies!
