Temporary engagement rings..thoughts?

Hey there! I'm brand new to the forums. My BF and I plan on getting engaged on our anniversary in November. We've already gone ring shopping and I fell in love with a ring at Robbins Bros for $1400. At the time, we figured he'd be able to start a down payment on it soon, or maybe even buy it all...

Hey there! I'm brand new to the forums. Smiley smile

My BF and I plan on getting engaged on our anniversary in November. We've already gone ring shopping and I fell in love with a ring at Robbins Bros for $1400. At the time, we figured he'd be able to start a down payment on it soon, or maybe even buy it all at once, once he gets a big paycheck from his job that he's been waiting for. Now it looks like once he gets that paycheck, he'll have too many things to pay off, and won't be able to afford the ring by Nov. Now I know the ring isn't the important part, it's the proposal, but I would still love to have something to wear in the meantime. Smiley smile

I found two rings at this great antique shop for only $40 each, and they're cool, different, and fit my finger (no worries about having to get it sized!). We decided he could get one of those when he proposes, and give me the real one from RB later, which is fine by me. Has anyone else gone through this? What are your thoughts on temporary engagement rin

    Mine is half Temporary...The band is white gold but the stones are CZ...doesn't bother me because he plans on replacing them with Diamonds when we have more Mula..Nobody knows or needs to know because it looks the same either way Smiley smile ....(and honestly I wouldn't care if he didn't replace the stones, I Love it the way it is)

    Well, we have temporary wedding bands. We did a civil service about a week and a half ago, "real" wedding planned for September of next year. I still had not e-ring, so now we have matching gold bands. Simple, to the point, and perfect as far as I am concerned. I told him that rather than replacing the rings in a year, we can just add my e-ring. (but honestly, I am not feeling the need for it now).

    I had a temp ring for a while-I think it can be a great idea. It got a little annoying trying to explain to people that that wasnt the actual ring. THough for me, the temp was still a real diamond, and looked very similar to what my ring would look like-so that made it more confusing to explain. I think going with one that obviously isnt the *real* engagement ring is a great idea

    I'm loving all these stories! I do love the rings I posted earlier because they are obviously different of course, but my friend just sent me a link to the most beautiful CZ rings at Nordstrom, and they're the same price as the ones from the antique shop! I'm going to make it fun for my FH and give him a bunch of choices.. that way I'll end up being really surprised Smiley smile

    This is the one I just came across:

    Diamonds will always be a girl’s best friend. No matter how you put it, these sparkly wonders have always caught a lot of female attention. For one thing diamonds always speak of elegance. Whether it’s on a ring or on a necklace, diamonds are always the crowning glory that can make any jewelry piece a thing to be desires.
