Try to see if there's a family diamond like grandma's or have you told her parents?
Spent only 950 on a diamond band and used a fam diamond. And 600 each on the band splurged in my band. Sorry for my fat fingers.
Also just pick 3 of the 4 color and clarity, and anywhere between 5 and 6mm surface area would look somewhat noticeable but but would be in the $3-4k range

I would recommend James Allen. Great bang for the buck. Great Customer Service. Great selections for women's engagement and wedding bands.
For Men's wedding bands, I would recommend snmetalwork on insta.

Was supposed to head to Guinea to renew our vows back in April, bought her a new engagement ring as well, then corona hit. Had to cancel all of the plans with several family members. Disappointed. We now must wait until September.

We didn’t want to postpone twice so just went from LDW to May 2021.
I’ve heard of people move their dates from now to September - going to stink when they have to postpone AGAIN.

Hopefully it won't happen. We have family there, and we are in communication with them.

Assume you won’t have as much travel - my older family members from NY (and hers from across the pond) traveling to CA isn’t something we were willing to risk.
Best of luck and keep us updated.

I was supposed to get married in Sept but we canceled it. Too much of a hassle to plan it. We're doing the courthouse thing when the offices open up and using the wedding money we saved up to move to another state. We might do a wedding party or do a traditional African ceremony next year.

Welp, just put the deposit down for the venue for my wedding in October 2021.
Also, co-sign for James Allen. Used them for my fiancee's ring and she loves it. Carat for carat best bang for your buck.

Same here. We’re doing the Courthouse then a family get together brunch/lunch afterwards. No rush at all with circumstances we’re in.
Saving the funds for a re-location.
She has family diamonds she wants to use. Any recs on places that will let you use your diamond then mount it on a band And make a ring?

So, we decided to not have a courthouse wedding. We'll have a small get together and do it in a park or something for August 1st. Right now, it's difficult to obtain a license here in NYC (through the portal) so we're going to long island to get it (just scheduled it today) done. We already booked a one-way tix for Sept 1st. We're getting this ball rolling.
As far as your question: You'll have to see someone local. You can do it jamesallen.com but I'm not sure if you want to ship your stone. My wedding band was ordered by them and my girl's ring was make by a friend of ours.

being in this thread again has triggered something that bothers me. how many dudes propose to their girls without basically knowing for sure they're gonna say yes? in fact, why would you do that? there's no damn way I wanna be married to someone unless I have a good idea of what kind of person she is. my wife and I dated and lived together for years before we got married. I knew damn well she was gonna say yes way before I even thought about buying a ring. we discussed getting married BEFORE I proposed. anyone that gets rejected on a proposal basically deserves that embarrassment (I think - I could be wrong though).

Posted in TAN but forgot about this thread. Got married on the 23rd of June. We basically just hired a photographer and she scouted some places for us. We rented a cabin in the woods in Virginia and hiked a bit in the Shenandoah and knocked it out. We had reached out to an officiant a month prior he agreed and met us there and we did it.
