Ring Trifecta

Sugargirl1019

1. I GOT MY RING BACK FINALLY! Tacori repaired it for free (yay) and even redipped it! It looks like brand new and I keep staring at it all the time. Sooo shiny and sparkly!

2. So many new married ladies - share pictures of your rings! So many new engaged ladies - also share!

3. Do you know how much your e ring cost, and do you know if it's paid in full or still being paid off? What are your thoughts about paying off rings while you're wearing it?

(I know how much my ring cost, and I also know they are both paid in full.)

1) yay!

2) not me, wah.

3) don't know or wasn't too know what it cost, but H doesn't like to carry debt so I'm sure it's paid off. Just how he is.

@lolo883 you don't want to share or you're not married or don't have pictures? Jk I know you're married. You're cool.

beethery

1: good!

2: been engaged a whiiiiile now.

3: I vaguely know how much it cost and it's still being paid off. Idc about wearing it while its being paid off. It's all set up with the insurance and everything. It's like a car, you drive it while it's being paid off. Except I'm keeping this MF for life when I'm getting another car next year.

I meant I'm not newly married enough to not have AWed my rings yet. But I will again!

Lolo I think that's the first time I've actually seen your rings. Beautiful!

Let me AW mine again for the purpose of this thread.

This is the only decent picture I've been able to get of it, with a Taco Bell sauce packet I got shortly after getting engaged, 'cause I thought it was funny. 

I know exactly how much it cost, since I helped pick it out, and it's paid off.

@beethery Thanks! I stare at it basically all day erry day. I always figured I'd want something with a really intricate setting, so this is not what I ever expected I'd like. But I looooooove it.

1. What happened to it?  Did Tacori give a warranty? 

2.  I'm not newly engaged, but I love my ring!

3.  I know how much it cost and yes it's paid off.  I feel very fortunate that he had that kind of money in savings, because I wouldn't have been a fan of going into debt.  I don't think he would have done it, either.

Y'all, Really my hands are not ever that pretty. I had them manicured like three days before for the wedding. I should post another picture of my hands. I JUST took this picture. Chipped nails, crooked fingers, scab on the top, veins.. I have stubby fingers truly, too. Ugh. It's just a good moment for the camera. One day I will show you the god awful pics lot I deleted in the past.

Tacori has a fabulous warranty on their rings. A diamond fell out of my band, and I was freaking out because I thought I would be charged because DH said I broke a little prong holding it in. But I was not! They replaced it for free, fixed the band setting, and redipped. Fabulous customer service!

I LOVE your ring!

Pfffft, yeah, you still have gorgeous hands. 

I always thought I had long, slender fingers until I got engaged. Then I kept trying to take picture of my ring and I was all "WHY DO I HAVE ALL THESE FUCKING SAUSAGES ON THE END OF MY HAND?!"

^that.

1. So glad you got your ring back!!!

2. I think most of you have seen my ring!

3.I don't know the exact cost of my ring, but I can only imagine. I do know that DH did a bank wire to pay for it because I knew he didn't have a CC with that high of a credit limit. So, I asked how he made it happen. Since it was a bank wire, it was paid in full upfront.

Haha Mann I wish my ring could only be paid for with a bank wire. Now I'm going to go hunt down a pic of your ring.

Your ring is my hands-down favorite.

Aw, thank you!! I happen to love it as well

@Sugargirl1019‌ I attached a pic!

Everyone's are sooo pretty!!
I know the cost only because he gave me the paperwork for the insurance. It was on his credit card for like 3 months so it was paid off very shortly after buying. The band was paid in full at purchase.

Sugargirl1019

@Jells2dot0‌ Omg it's gorrggeeoouusssss. It's so sparkly and shiny and perfect! Thank you for posting!

Here's my ring - the real colour is an icy blue somewhere between the two photos, but aquamarine can be hard to photograph accurately. We ordered a wedding band but I hated them together so we shipped it back and now I'm trying to figured out what to do.

I know how much it cost because I picked it out and we ordered it together. It was paid for immediately as it's pretty inexpensive - much less than a single paycheque.

Hmmm I wonder if some other ladies can help post ideas to go with that ring. A simple silver band? Very thin?

LadyMillil

Here's mine. My wedding band matches the band on the E ring. I don't have a picture of them together. DH saved up money for awhile and paid for my ring in full when he picked it up. I know the insurance value for my ring and I know DH bought it on sale but I don't know how much he paid for it.

I'm most likely getting my wedding band from Two Birch, because I'm finding it to be basically impossible to find a band to match. My center stone goes down really far and the setting isn't high enough to fit a band under it, either. Two Birch has this "perfect fit" thing for an extra $10. There's videos on their website that explain it really well, but basically they make a mold of your engagement ring and then create your band to fit it perfectly. 

I know how you feel about diamonds, too, and many many many of their bands can be made with good quality CZ, or even black CZ! Also sapphires, if you want some more blue.

I need to AW my rings in a pro pic as soon as I've looked through them!

My rings are paid off. H paid it off in installments while it was being made to make it easier on his credit card and my wedding ring we bought 4 months before the wedding from the same jeweller.

ETA: I know roughly how much my e-ring was but not the exact dollar amount.

Blergbot

I haven't AWd my ring in awhile...it was my great grandmother's. My mom paid for the appraisal and cleaning, so I know it cost my H zero dollars. I decided against a wedding band, since I think it stands on its own.

That is INCREDIBLE.

1 - Yay for getting your ring back!

2 - I attached the one and only pic I have of both my rings together. They don't match, but I don't care.

3 - I know the appraisal value but not how much DH paid for it. I do know that he had it paid off within a couple of months. He had every intention of paying it off in full (he put it on a credit card to get points) but he had an unexpected and large vehicle maintenance expense right after buying the ring. I guess technically he paid it off but he still carried a balance on his card for a few weeks.

ETA - They sit more flush against each other than they do in that pic, but I'm too lazy to take a better one right now.
