Just wondering how much you guys were paying for your wedding band. I so want an eternity band and it will look great with my solitaire E ring but....we're torn. We'd rather not spend that much $.
I never did a poll before....so I hope I'm ok with my #'s.
Thanks.

Re: Wedding Bands
I was considering an eternity band too & our good friend who is also a jewler who is making my wedding band--he made my e-ring to told me not to go with the eternity band b/c if you ever need to change it or make it bigger it will cost some money b/c the whole ring would have to be taken apart and put back together. I ended up going with a band that goes halfway around in a channel setting just in case I want to change it one day. Since he has to get all the materials I am not sure how much it is going to cost but somewhere around $1200. I hope this helps.

Re: Wedding Bands
I went to the diamond district in LA, and got my band- platitnum with 1/2 of diamonds for only 700. I saw similiar bands in stores for 2000. I suggest you get down to the diamond district in NY.

I agree- I wanted an eternity band and it was only 300 more but he told me I could never have it resized. Once you have kids your hands do get larger. Just a tip.

Hands get permanently larger?! My co-worker is preggo and has a 4.5 carat eternity band - for the time being, she's wearing another finger.
I think eternity bands are gorgeous with a soltaire ring. Good luck!

Re: Wedding Bands
I think my bands were in the $1300 range, but that's because I got two to wrap around my ring.

Re: Wedding Bands
Okay, so that means I voted wrong. Remove my vote from catergory #2 to catergory #3.

Re: Wedding Bands
My eternity band has hand engraving and milgrain work, and a lot of quality diamonds for the price of $1200. Sorry I don't have a pic. I put it in my MIL's safe right away
My advice, the rings in Fortunoff are WAY overpriced. They didn't have my ring but if they were to make it it would be more than double.
I have a great jeweler in NYC... Rudy Sampieri Diamonds on the Bowery. A woman who I work with who owns A LOT of diamond jewelry (I'm talking over $100,000 worth) uses him. I don't have his number on me at work but you can call information. He can make anything for a lot less than you see in the big name stores and he only handles quality diamonds.

Re: Wedding Bands
Haven't done his yet but we're not spending alot on it. Mine was $450.00
Mine is almost an eternity band. It has 14 diamonds that go all the way around and there's a .5' space at the back with no diamonds. It's in a milgrain setting and looks very like this, but with more diamonds going around. It's I ct. and cost 1,000 from Bailey Banks & Biddle. It looks amazing with my solitaire setting.
