How comfortable are you buying from ebay?

$599 for WG/Plat



$995 Plat with larger sapphire centre

$800 Plat diamond with sapphire sides

That seller has a few more. What style are you looking for?

NY Estate Jewellery - 3 stone YG but worth a look

Sapphire & Diamond 5 stone style - over budget but might be worth a lookanother band style

my favorite of the lot but over budgt at $900

there are tons on Fay Cullen''s site under "promise rings" that are significantly lower... like this big bang for your buck just under $700:

Be careful with fay cullen...their return policy is very bad and *most* of their rings are not real antiques, but reproductions. You have to read the descriptions very carefully.

Ooooh, I've been keeping an ebay watch list on that exact search. Though ebay makes a lot of people nervous, there have been some pretty pieces coming up recently.

Thanks for finding me a few ladies! They are all beautiful! Id rather have a true antique than a reproduction.

It might be worth your while to search through the New York Estate Jewellery (Israel Rose) website. There are a lot of beautiful items on there.

Here''s the link:

Just watch your timing regarding the return policy: I believe you have 5 days. They are very nice to work for however: when I was on the search for my ER, I saw one that was very interesting. They were kind enough to take hand shots for me from a few different angles so I could have a sense of the size/proportions of the ring. I didn''t end up buying it, but my experience with the staff there was a positive one.
