They have fake diamonds but look great and for every day use you can't beat them. She wears hers every day and I only put mine on when we go out or to a function.

Cheap yellow diamonds look terrible. I would suggest a 14 carat gold band. You can get one for less than $800 ... I am sure she would be Happy with it. * Good Luck ...... I am in the same place but I will get what she wants. * Life member NTA

It inter locked and had .26 cart diamond with great clarity and one minor inclusion. I bought it for 250. Now I'm 43 so it's seen a while back. She no longer wears it it lost the diamond and her hands swell. Getting dirt out of it when she is in the garden was a pain for her. Now she uses a silicone band. I got a simple 10k comfort fit yellow gold band. Quit wearing that when I neatly had an accident at work becuse of it. Had this done 12 years or so back. It works. Not needed at all.

Yeah told her I'm just going to get one of those rubber band ones too. Personally don't like wearing jewelry and can't really wear a ring due to my job so, kinda like the tattoo idea but there's supposed to be some bad juju around that

We also did a self uniting ceremony; or Quaker Marriage as it’s legal in PA and some other states. Had fried chicken and cole slaw and a little cake with my mom and my aunt as witnesses to the marriage.

I was 38 at the time. My price was way off by a couple grand. But my bride had her heart set on a ring design. We just celebrated 20 yrs. Best investment I ever made. Wish you the best young man.
