Need serious advice - kind of long, sorry
Please don't quote. . .
Last week FH and I went band shopping and I found a band I really liked. It’s a really ornate Tacori eternity band. The woman who helped us was kind of rude and not really eager to help us – like she barely wanted to let us look at Tacori because they are so expensive. So, I try this ring, and say I really like it. She looks down at the price tag and tells us its platinum, but that it must be mis-marked, so she goes and checks. My e-ring is 18k white gold and I wanted the band to match, so, she says in white gold the band would be almost $5K – way beyond what we had “budgeted” for bands. However, the platinum band I tried was on consignment to the jeweler for $2400. . . . much more reasonable, still more than we wanted to spend, but whatever.
I really love this ring and it’s a STEAL at this price, because in platinum it would normally be like $6K+, but I’ve been on the fence this whole time about an eternity band because there is a chance it won’t always fit me! I can’t see spending any amount of money on a wedding band that may not always fit. But this ring is AMAZING. Any advice? What would you do? I have to kind of act fast because this ring will totally sell soon . . . it's also my size, btw.
