Girls looking for ones with diamonds - how much are you expecting to spend and where are you buying them?
Just read the post on Erings and he paid A LOT more than most girls were describing for my ring......now I am worried about getting the band.
Since mine will be custom-made to match my E-ring.....with the same quality stones (24-26 in total), we are guesstimating AT LEAST $5,000 for my band alone. I want FH's to have some bling on his too....not sure how it's gonna work for him though. I'm guesstimating his will be at least $2,000 (guy's are always so lucky! lol )

wow, that sounds like a lot! my quote for FH was $300, he just wants a plain titanium ring. Have you looked into where you will be getting your band customized? $5000 sounds like a lot

We're actually going tomorrow to design my ring. It'll be custom made to match my e-ring, so it'll have 6 diamonds total (2 baguette, 4 princess) and in platinum. We don't have a final price yet, but the estimate was between $2K and $2500. Other platinum rings w/ diamonds that I saw that looked only OK w/ my e-ring were about the same price, so that's why I'm doing custom.

Well, FH's ring really was a round-about. He's not sure what he wants yet, since he hasn't even looked lol As far as my ring, I'm going off of what my setting alone costs, adding some more for the additional diamonds they'll need to add (to fill in that gap where the diamond is on my E-ring) and for whatever they are going to charge since it has to be made. We are going to our jeweler to have it done.....I wouldn't count on someone else to give me the stones that he chose for me.

I think its the platinum that is really jacking up the price!
And I keep telling FH to get titanium but he wants platinum or white gold! Guess I can't argue since that is what I have![]()
Is it really that much to make a custom ring. I will need to get one to go around the basket. Yipes !!

White gold is much cheaper than platinum. I don't know how true this is, but when I was in DC, this woman randomly started asking me questions when I was at a bar waiting for my friend and she claimed she was a jeweler. She said that white gold is stronger than platinum.
