No one will know it's Diamonique! (pics)

Jess, on March 18, 2014 at 9:03 PM Posted in Planning 0 23

As FH and I were reviewing our budget and updating the cost of everything to date, it hit me- "What are we going to do about wedding bands?" I don't know why we didn't bring this obvious expense up before we did, but I ran my solution by him and he was doubtful.. On QVC they sell beautiful Eternity platinum-clad Diamonique wedding bands (that will never turn your finger green) and look amazing! While my engagement ring is the real deal that he spent 5k on, I didn't feel the need to rush this expense that simply can wait with a good "fill in temporary band". I bought 2 different bands for myself at $41 bucks each, one is simple round 'diamonds' and the other has baguettes all the way around. I must say that I am impressed, especially considering that I had never ordered anything from a home shopping network. I just thought I would share my temporary solution to wedding band cost and how to buy yourself some time if you need it!

    I'm not even purchasing a band for myself. E-ring is 6mm wide so I didn't see the need and it would look to clunky. Great idea though if I ever want to purchase one to wear on vacations instead.

    That's an awesome idea!!! I've been thinking about buying a diamond wedding band to wear to clinicals and eventually work in a hospital. Doing a sterile procedure with sterile gloves?...nearly impossible with my rings!!!! lol

    Nobody needs to know that they aren't real. My engagement ring came from my aunt in Florida, the gold is real but the stone not so much. I have had customers and co-workers comment on how pretty the ring is, what they don't know won't hurt any of us. Smiley smile

    Good job. They look really good.

    I want my band to be solid, no diamonds because of the type of work I do and besides am not careful with jewelry.

    Good idea!

    we are doing the same - can't afford to have one made (because of the style of my ring it needs to be custom made to fit)

    I bought a $49 ring as a temp until we have the money and i know exactly what i want.

    No-one needs to know (except all the WW brides Smiley smile)

    Mrs. de Bruyn that is exactly my point on this as well! With paying for this, that and everything in between, the last thing I need/want to deal with and stress about are expensive wedding bands! This was the perfect solution for us right now and I love it! Everyone says Diamonique shines brighter than their real precious jewelry Smiley smile

    My wedding band is pretty inexpensive as far as those go, but it's what I liked. I have no plans to ever upgrade or change it.

    Great idea. I may get us something like that to wear on our honeymoon. That way we wont have to worry about our rings falling off in the ocean!

    I love saving money-especially on items like this! Here's the links to both rings below, the first one is the round Diamonique Epiphany beauty:

    And of course the baguette ring (princess or round cut also available):

    Platinum clad scratches so be careful with them. I have a couple of pieces of it and no one ever notices (or believes me if I tell them they aren't real).

    They are beautiful if you love them that's all that's matter. Marriage is about the love you all have for each other don't start your marriage being concerned about material things.
