Wedding Bands...

FH and I went ring shopping today and I'm having the hardest time finding/picking one. Is anyone having an issue? I have a round halo engagement ring with pave diamonds on the halo and all sides, with larger diamonds going down the band 3/4 of the way.

I would like to have 2 bands to even out the halo. I went to my jeweler and they want $1250 for one band 3/4 down filled with diamonds.

We went to another place and they will give us 2 bands for $800, BUT they don't go 3/4 down the band. The diamonds are only on the top, so my engagement ring will have more diamonds on the band than my wedding bands.

IDK what to do. I'm not really in love with the diamonds not lining up, but I am in love with the price. What do you ladies think??

You can get a better price than what you were quoted. Try tri-county, diamond district, or even Blue Nile. I am thinking of ordering this eternity band off blue nile.

It's the best price per quality that i've seen so far. Plus I want something with small diamonds that doesnt compete with my ering.

One thing to think about. Sometimes, once you have a baby, you stop wearing your engagement ring because you tend to accidently keep scratching the baby with it. So you want to keep in mind a wedding ring that would look nice without your engagement ring too.
Just a thought :)
