Sapphire Eternity Band

[SpartanRed]

Hello All,

I am new to the colored stones community. I would like to get a wedding day gift for my fiance and I know she's always wanted one of these. However, I do not know if it is cheaper to try and buy the Sapphires and then give them to a jeweler to make the ring or try and buy one already done.

Ideally, I would like a ring just like this one from BGD: http://www.briangavindiamonds.com/wedding-and-anniversary-bands/eternity-bands/the-yogo-18k-white-gold-5390w18

But I am not willing to spend that much. My budget would be around $1000, is that realistic?

I appreciate all the help I can get. I am seeking advice on where I should buy the stones from, how much the stones may cost, and the feasibility of my budget.

Thanks in advance!

I think it's unlikely that you could get it for under $1000. The small marquise diamond are actually a lot more expensive than the same carat weight in round diamonds. When I had this ring made several years back I think the marquise diamonds came out to just under 1k by themselves (I had purchased the sapphires separately). A more affordable option is the one with round diamonds in marquise shaped bezels.

Daniel M made me a 3/4 eternity (14kt, 2mm wide, the sourced the tiny sapphires), but the price was before gold went sky high.

Mine was about $650.

Another similar style from them, unknown price:

But getting marquise diamond and sapphire eternity for $1000 is probably not feasible - marquise diamonds are hard to track down for a decent price.

Thanks for the information. I did not know that the marquise diamonds were that hard to find. I should try and find out how much she wants marquise and if I can substitute rounds.

Cruise thru IDJ - not exactly what you are looking for but similar. There are others that if you call and speak with Luann, they may be able to replace the diamonds for sapphires.

This one is beautiful and affordable. It's from Gabriel and Company through ID Jewelry. Highly recommend. It's 1.7mm wide so it's very dainty.

Thank everyone for the great advice! These are all great choices. I am still in talks with BGD to see what they can do for me.

Hi Spartan, here is a photo of mine, it is almost 2cts total, and the diamonds are FG/VS. I have LOVED it from the first time I opened the box (and shhh..it was less than 1,600) Oh, and this seller has alot of different options and styles with sapphires. Good luck to you. Let us see what you finally do get.
