I am clueless and don't know if i am being unreasonable..
about how much did you spend on your Wedding band? what does it look like

I want an eternity band with diamonds all around it but i think it is a little too much

I forgot to add it has to be platinum because i want it to match my ering

FI got me a platinum eternity band with 4.27 carats. IT was $9,000. But he got it from his client who is a wholesaler. It is estimated for over $20,000. I love it and have been wearing it everyday.

would love to see a pic

I got just a 2mm platinum band for $200!!
It goes perfectly with my e-ring - which also has a very thin band.

(Diamonds would have been nice too though! )

Our jeweler is custom making the wedding ring to match my e-ring - it will be marquis diamonds going point to point - platinum ring - this is costing $2,000 - he is also making the ring in a way that we can 'add' diamonds and turn it into an eternity band at a later date

BTW - my plain white gold band that I am getting married in (Jewish rules) is costing under $50!!

If money's no object, which it seems to be here on LI, then go for the expensive band. Why not?

Re: Sorry a bit personal but.....l

Mine is 1 3/4 carats and very wide and it cost me $1500. I got a good deal b/c I went to a friend of the family jeweler.

It's not you, or this board, it's LI in general. Don't take personal offense to what I said, it wasn't directed at you.

Re: Sorry a bit personal but.....l

Mine was $1200 all diamonds but it's a very thin band of tiny solitaires (maybe 1/4 carat total) but that is the ring that goes with my e-ring.
Its a Ritani, Endless love.
I tried cheper plain platinum but I just didn't like how it looked.

Mine has 7 diamonds that equal just over a carat. I paid 650 for it at the Atias Flea Market. I love it. Everywhere else wanted 1500 and more for the same thing with diamonds that were not as nice.

Re: Sorry a bit personal but.....l

Yes girls, I am wearing my wedding band already. Everyone thinks I am nuts. But really I don't see the big deal in it.

I would totally go for the band that you want. I knew that if I got anything besides the eternity band, I would be disappointed. But that's me.

Re: Sorry a bit personal but.....l

I did exactly what am470 did...I wore my wedding bands for over a year before our wedding! (We were engaged for over three years)
I just loved them so much, no sense in letting them sit in a box!

Re: Sorry a bit personal but.....l

If you are looking to save a bit than don't buy anywhere on Long Island when it comes to diamonds . You are lucky enough to live so close to n.y.c. go to 47th st. diamond district and get yourself a deal . Be smart and savvy and carful who you deal with but you will do so much better there. As for AM470 good for you way to go if you can get it God Bless I for one am happy for you and so should other people be, but it seems on this site you have to stay within everyone's budget or be cross examined.

Re: Sorry a bit personal but.....l

My band is $2500 and it is a platinum band with about .75 carats. I know it's pricey but this is the jeweler fi's family has used for years so we trust him. Also, I had the diamonds in the band upgraded to the coloring of my e-ring stone.

Alot of people tell us to go to the flea market, but I just don't trust them and I would personally rather have piece of mind.
