Engagement Ring (several pictures)

I really love the ring in the 2nd picture.

The 2nd picture is my favorite!

View Quoted Comment I like the band design on that one, and it’d be fairly easy to find a wedding band to match. The problem is, I like them all xD. It’s a struggle finding rings dainty enough to not swallow my fairly short size 4 fingers alive xD so many options are ENORMOUS as if they want to make up for not being a diamond by being HUGE.

In that case, I also like the 4th one! Seems a bit more dainty.

For reference, this is my hand xD

They are all very beautiful.

I would really advise looking into buying from a reputable jeweler. There have been many posts on these forums from distraught brides to be when something happens to their ring, like damage, lost or loose stones, and poor quality rings from private sellers. Sellers on Etsy likely don't have a protection plan or warranty for the rings they sell. It could end up costing you more than the ring is worth to get it fixed or replaced.

I love the second and last one! Just be sure to read customer reviews before purchasing. I have several rings saved on etsy also!

View Quoted Comment Unfortunately all the ordinary jewelers around me seem to be out of my price range. For living just outside of a city, we mostly just have the generic jewelers like ShaneCo, Helzberg, Zales, Kay, etc... and they all mostly deal in diamonds. (ShaneCo does sapphires and rubies as well, but their settings are expensive). We can’t afford a diamond or a several hundred dollar setting so I was trying to find an alternative. And anything that i like from brilliant earth and Charles & Culvard is way out of my price range.

View Quoted Comment The problem is, a lot of the customer reviews are for the store in general, not for the specific ring. Which I suppose is also helpful to know that people are satisfied with the store in general, but I want to know what people think of the specific ring as well.

I love the second one too!

The last one is my fave

My favs are the 2nd and last one!!

I understand, it is something to look into and it seems you already have. I am just really cautious when it comes to buying pricey jewelry on Etsy. There is almost no recourse with the seller or Etsy if something goes wrong. I have heard too many horror stories.

They're all so beautiful. My personal choices are #2 & #3 but you should pick the ring that matches your vision & your style the best.

The second one is my favorite but they are all pretty.

View Quoted Comment That's the hard part with buying anything online, not being able to "try before you buy". Have you tried looking up moissanite rings with your price point in your search engine to see what other places have?

View Quoted Comment I totally get that. The only rings I’ve bought off Etsy have been $25 sterling silver bands, so it’s hard to know if they’ll turn out as expected, but my only other option seems to be Amazon and that seems even riskier. At least with Etsy they have to pay for the ability to sell on there, and their sales depend on having a good reputation for the most part.

View Quoted Comment I just tried it, the only reputable stores were still Brilliant Earth and Charles & Culvard which I’ve already looked at, and then moves on to the generic jewelry stores that largely only sell diamonds.

I love the second ring. If you’re planning to do a wedding band, it would be easiest to find something to fit the first three.
