These rings are all under $2000 and they are from Topazery.com
- Go with a man made or synthetic stone: Diamond Nexxus, Cubic Zirconium like QVC or HSN, Mossanite etc.
- Go with a Gemstone: Sapphire, Aquamarine, Ruby like at Topazery. Check the Moh's scale of hardness.
- A real Diamond like Kay's Jewelers, Jareds, which is the hardest stone on the Moh's scale.
1. A well known jewelry store. Why? Because the more fancier places are known to charge an arm and a leg for the same kind of diamond (sometimes even the same cut, clarity, color) that are at the well known stores. Plus your local jewelry store probably has great sales especially during holidays, you can get warranties of your jewelry and they will teach you all about the four Cs.
2. Online retailers and crafty online stores.: Etsy, you can have your jewelry made customized for no extra fees and haggle prices. Sites like Topazery which have antique jewelry and rings for UNDER $2000! Another awesome one is Carat.cc which is for CZ but its amazing stuff it was feature in Instyle Magazine.
3. Wholesalers- BJS, Costco, Sam's Club are great places to find a bridal set or a gents ring for a fair price.
Honestly to me a ring is a symbol of the commitment between two people. That's all. Back in the day folks used to tie ribbons around their fingers, make rings out of hair of their beloved, make cowrie shell thumb rings, skip the rings and make necklaces or just have dowries to show righteous intent towards their significant others.
Nowadays, its all about the bling it just makes me a little sick when folks forget why they are getting married and get wrapped into the stuff. I have my days to but I am starting to understand my hubby a little better now.
