Show me your E rings under 5k

[Niel]

I have been seeing a lot of people come here with budgets lately. I think a lot of newbies on her dont know exactly what they can get for the price. I picked 5k becuase well, its a round number and it allows me to fit mine in

but please, anyone on a tighter budget of less than 5k (still a lot, but we are talking PS standards here ) please post your rings, and the cost (if its new, approx appraisal if its an oldie), you can give a range if youd rather. But I just want the people coming in to see that a budget doesnt mean you have to skimp on the fabulous

size 7.25, .9ct H VS2 pear in a ritani halo, 4000-4500 USD

$4250-ish .88 E I1 princess of hearts in Beverley K Art Deco halo, 18k. Size 5.5.


Entire set just over $4500.

You guys both have gorgeous rings! Nielseel, did you get a killer deal on your Ritani? I thought they were usually very expensive!

Mine probably should have cost less than 5k, but my DH unfortunately waaay overpaid at a mall store. Ah well.

 

[motownmama]

Guys! Those are really nice photos of your rings!!!!

 

[rosetta]

Excellent idea!

Newbies: please note that prices, taxes and setting costs may vary from country to country, as well as over time.

Both of your rings are some of my favorites on PS!

My sapphire engagement ring was under $3k eleven years (and Pre-Pricescope) ago. It would still cost under $5k to make today.

 

[advokait]

I just want to say that this is the BEST idea for a thread; I've placed a $5,000 limit on the ring although SO would go higher if need be. I just can't bring myself to go above that. All of the rings are absolutely GORGEOUS!!! Keep 'em coming!

 

[Laila619]

Did you all see this?! How timely and perfect!

Love this idea! Perfect to show that even on a budget you can have a beautiful, high quality ring.
Mine isn't my original ering, it's my new/upgrade.
I had always wanted either an EC or asscher and had found the ec band prior to finding the stone for my solitaire.
I love my set & really can't ever imagine upgrading, of course I can imagine buying additional diamonds (AVC is next,yum)and setting them in multiple rings
EC was just under $3k and is 1.11ct K color VVS1. Setting is Sholdt 18k WG. grand total $4400.

 

[Rosebloom]

Oh Woofmama your ring is another one of my favorites (and I never would have guessed you pulled off that beauty for under $5k!).

 

[woofmama]

Oh Woofmama your ring is another one of my favorites (and I never would have guessed you pulled off that beauty for under $5k!).

Thanks so much Rosebloom! My ec is a K, hence the great price & over a carat, but it is very bright & beautifully cut. When we have our Chicago GTG you are welcome to try it on. I believe we wear the same size 7.25. I'm so excited to see your AVC band IRL! I really want an AVC ring,too!

 

[iluvdiamonds2]

I can't believe these rings are $5k or under. They all look like way more. Unbelievable. It goes to show u , u don't have to go broke to get a stunning look and finger coverage!

 

[Niel]

Oh good, i was afraid this one was going to be a dead thread, haha.

Newbies: please note that prices, taxes and setting costs may vary from country to country, as well as over time.

You're very right! good point

You guys both have gorgeous rings! Nielseel, did you get a killer deal on your Ritani? I thought they were usually very expensive!

My setting is only 14k WG, so it wasnt bad. They dont have it on there sight anymore, but they have a unbezeled plain shank halo on there thats about 1500

All of these are fabulous! I want more. There has been some more recently over at rocky talkly. I think i might bring some over

 

[Laila619]

woofmama, so jealous of your e-ring!! I can't believe it was less thank 5k, it is stunning.
