As some of you know, a couple of years ago, my husband and I were having a hard time financially after he immigrated from Australia to the US. Long story short, it took far longer to get his green card than we thought it would and we had to sell almost everything of value to pay our rent the month before he went to work.
Good news, he has now been working over a year, as have I and we have enough money to replace our wedding rings, which we sold. He knows he wants just a polished gold band, which is what he had before, but I am having a hard time deciding what I want.
I had a regular set of engagement ring with a moderate size stone and a matching band with two smaller stones. I was kind of glad we splurged on it, after I was able to sell it and more than cover two months rent! However, I don't think I want anything as elaborate at this point.
I have been looking at Tiffany's, Cartier and several local jewelry stores here in town.
If you were going to get just a plain gold band (I love rose gold, so am looking at those) or one with flush set diamonds, would you go with the best you could afford or just get one from a local jewelry store, since they are so plain? I am torn between Tiffany's or just getting one from Kay's Jewelers or something. The difference in cost is maybe $200. The other difference is that there is no Tiffany's anywhere near me so I will have to order online.
I hope this makes sense. Thanks in advance.
