Most Recent Posts Another outbid!Posted Sep-12-06 10:50:44 PDT Well, I got even closer today to the "perfect ring". Unfortunately the sale ended and I lost it. I know that I am pushing my luck trying to find the ideal ring on EBAY at a tiny little fraction of the store cost, but just because we don't have a lot of money doesn't mean I don't deserve to have a beautiful ring right? Our chances are just as good as any other bidder to get a steal! Luckily, after being let down, and losing that ring, I found one that was even more stunning, more carats, and from a Seller with more positive feedback! That's just how it goes on EBay, isn't it? So, I bid on that one. That sale ends in 2 days, so I will let you know. I also FINALLY found a jeweler willing to make a mans wedding band in the size my fiance wears...18.5. Yes, it's true. And luckily, that jeweler, bless her heart, doesn't charge extra!! WOO HOO. So, that will be next on the list. Fortunately, she puts everything on Buy it Now! So, there's no rush on that. Well, I am off to look at other "wedding-ish" items. I have a feeling there will be some eloping involved. This wedding stuff is stressful. And it's no secret, but we don't have a lot of money to spend!! LOL!! Wish me luck! My Perfect Ring.Posted Sep-07-06 13:29:38 PDT I have been searching for weeks now, trying to find the perfect engagement ring. Although we are already engaged, the ring that I have isn't real, and it is only temporary until I find my "dream" ring. I found quite a few so far. That were absolutely stunning. But way out of my price range. I guess there are a lot of us out there looking for that perfect ring to last a lifetime. In fact, the whole reason I decided to start this blog, was in hopes to win big, so I can purchase THE RING, no matter what the cost. This week I had my eyes on a beautiful emerald cut diamond, with sapphires down each side. It was set in white gold, and was gorgeous. I bid on it, of course, and after my max bid was hit...I started searching again. Then I found one almost exactly like the last, but this one was princess cut, and a little smaller. So, I put in the magic numbers...and was outbid. Maybe I should search for a different style... It seems all the other ladies/husbands-to-be have the same style in mind. Maybe this week I will search for marquis cut diamonds, even though the princess & emeralds are my favorite. My favorites might change. You never know. |
