Any other brides out there that didn't go with a diamond? I've been into ethically sourced/lab created jewelry for a long time, especially after taking a class that got into the ethics of the diamond industry. When it came down to it, I wanted something unique and affordable. He found this amazing jeweler on Easy and I LOVE my ring, and the best part is how "me" it is. We've started looking at wedding rings and will most likely pick something from her shop on Etsy as well.
My ring is a lab created white sapphire which is a 9 on the MOHS scale so it is pretty durable - not diamond strength, but with the half bezel setting I feel comfortable I won't lose or damage it. If anything does happen, it wouldn't be a crazy cost to replace it either. Here are the bands we are looking at:
