Show me your E rings under 5k

[Niel]

A good example of what you can find on eBay with lots of due diligence and LOTS of luck. $800+ resizing. J-L colored approx 0.9 center stone.

 

[motownmama]

I love your marquise, Neil! I've always loved them, even when they were not so popular - of course - the fatter the better, but even slim, tiny ones are elegant to my eye!

 

[AprilBaby]

That marquise is quite a stunner! The rings look awesome on your two hands!

 

[pandabee]

yet another ring to add

Graduated 5 stone in unplated 14k WG, .15/.32/.84/.32/.15 all K ranging from VVS2-SI1

Actually the ring PLUS the preloved cartier trinity still falls under 5k

What happened, are you selling this? I saw a listing on LT...everything okay?

yes yes......

i was "browsing" for a friend of mine and found the most perfect EC.

I really shouldnt, but just on the off chance someone wanted it. I put out feelers. It would say that in my LT if the stupid site would post my whole thing. I dont love it any less than i did before, but this ec, oh. it made my little heart melt. lol. I have a shopping problem.

 

[pandabee]

Oh I thought it was something bad had happened since you listed it for more than you said you paid. Good luck on the emerald hunt...

Will you post pics and give details about your new EC?!

yep, i knew thats why you asked on this thread.

I posted for more than i paid as people always barter, which id be happy to do, but not for much.

I already took it down. So dont worry.

lol telling us not to worry is kind of like telling the sky not to be blue. I checked LT, looked at a listing, hit the back button, your ring was there, I FLIPPED OUT. I nearly sent you a hysterical all caps email but restrained myself, hoping that you were just experiencing wanting-new-bling-mania.

Haha! That's exactly it. I'm having "getting married in a week " bouts of crazy.

Plus I found an amazing EC and I went slightly loopy. Probably why I posted it high.

But cooler heads prevailed. Now I'm just looking at vintage plain shank halos to reset my marquise. I think I just always need a project.

It will work out, it will. Just keep having faith that all will work out well and how it's supposed to! Easier said than done, I know!!

I haven't posted in a really long time, but I couldn't resist.

Purchased in March 2011.

Diamond: .846, G, SI1, H&A round. Size 3.5. $3,316.00. The inclusion is hidden under a prong. Totally eye clean!

Setting: Tacori platinum. $1,630.00.

Total: $4,946.00. Sneaking in right under 5K!

 

[LLJsmom]

I would never guess these beautiful rings were less than $5k. Wow. They are amazing...

 

[Sparkle_ruckle]

Hello all..here's adding my ering to the collection of drool-worthy yet affordable rings. Photos are all taken with a phone camera, so pls pardon me for the blurry images.

0.75 carat, Internally flawless , F colour
Heart-shaped diamond
I love its dimensions of 5.5 x 6.4 x 3.77 mm because it makes it look like a 1 carat diamond.
Total cost of ring and diamond is approx USD$4200. And because we threw in some family diamonds for the setting, it brought the cost down to approx USD$4000.

 

[Roxy]

I LOVE this thread. Such beautiful rings under 5K!? Absolutely FABULOUS !!!!

 

[Laila619]

I loved this thread so much, I was inspired to find my own e-rings under 5K.

0.77 J VS1 GIA excellent cut round: $1,735 from Blue Nile. Originally was more but they price matched the diamond for me because I found a similar diamond on a competitor's site for that price. Setting is the Duet halo in Platinum, originally $2,500 but I was able to use a coupon code for 10% off during Black Friday, so it was $2250. Total = $3,985.

 

[Laila619]

My other e-ring

Diamond is a 0.59 ct J VS2 GIA excellent cut for $1,248 from Blue Nile. Setting is the Three Stone Milgrain halo in 14k for $1,475. Total for the ring is $2,723.

Laila, I love your 4 new rings. I wouldn't have guessed that both rings were under $5k if you didn't mention it. And I see no difference in color between the J centers and melee.

 

[Laila619]

Thanks, Ashleigh!! Yes, the Js with the whiter melee don't bother me at all. I was really impressed with how white GIA J is!

 

[artdecolover71]

Wow one is more beautiful then the next!

.85 F SI1 6.14mm on a size 7 finger

I should add that price also included a white gold band that matches the band of the e-ring. Pave style
