Kate - it only took me 2 weeks to get my engagement ring after I picked it out....3 months may not seem like a lot of time - but it really is! My cousin planned her wedding for 250+ people in 3 months - don't worry! You'll be OK!!!!
SMILE!!!!!
Kate, have you found your rings yet?
We ordered our wedding rings tonight. They'll be ready in 10 days. We used the same jeweler we purchased our engagement ring from....he's done business w/my cousin for over a decade so we trust him.
Paul chose a relatively plain band w/detail on the edge - yellow gold. Cost $70. Mine? Well, in order to match my engagement ring, it is a relatively thin white gold w/7 princess cut diamonds across the center. Cost? $550. Sooooooooooo much more than I wanted to spend but within our budget b/c Paul's was simple & inexpensive. Paying cash - no tax.
Which jeweler in Astoria did you use? I live in Astoria- we got my engagement ring in NJ (where Jeremy lives) We had picked out a Scott Kay ring and had a jeweler make a copy of it-- ended up saving lots of money-- but it seems that we spent alot more than those who have posted before me-- my ring and band without my diamond cost $2400 That includes 10 princess diamonds--so I guess that is why it was so much-- but compared to Sctt Kay prices-- we saved a few thousand dollars-- my ring alone was $3900 at Scott Kay-- so I guess it is all relative Laura

Is your engagement ring gold or platnum? My ring w/o stone was around $1500 - white gold w/24 princess cut diamonds. The stone was $2K....
Almaz Brothers: 35-13 30th Avenue. Phone is 718-545-6073. They're open every day but Saturday. Its owned by 2 brothers - Ralph and Yury (Ralph is the guy you'll be dealing with - Yuri is the ring maker guy in the back). Ralph is a sweetie : ) They've been in business since '84.
Good luck! : )
My ring is white gold--what size are your princess diamonds? I am trying to picture it and cant picture that many on one ring-- My ring in general was a lot of money but we both fell in love with it--well actually i fell for the setting and Jeremy went crazy on the diamond--but that is what was important to him
At my shower, my FSIL gave me lingere. I felt a little awkward - b/c I'll obviously be using it when I'm having sex w/her brother!! Not that they don't know that we are having sex, but its not on the forefront of our dialogue (know what I mean?)
I had to hold it up in front of his mom, his aunts...i was so embarrassed. : (
The diamonds are small but there are 2 rows of 6 each on either side of the stone - the ring is much wider than 'traditional' rings - it is a DeBeers-eque kind of ring. The center stone is .75 ct and set in a bezel setting.
its really different - and doesn't look like a traditional engagement ring.
Thanks.
Sounds nice-- my ring is quite wide too-- and I didn't think about it until my sister in law commented that it doesn't look like a typical engagement ring!!! do you have a picture of it? just curious Laura
I have to go pick out my flowers to match my invitations.
Good Luck
No, unfortunately I don't! : ( Sorry!
Hurting!!! Mary
Good Luck
