Where did you ladies get your rings from?

Rayann, on March 16, 2018 at 10:10 Posted in Before the wedding 0 50

Before my fiancé bought my ring we went looking around everywhere! He ended up buying my ring from Birks! What about you guys?

    My FH got my engagement ring from Spence Diamonds. Absolutely beautiful, awesome service (he was given a prototype for the proposal - too impatient to wait) and we went back together to pick up the real thing. They were super nice to me while I was there as well.

    My ring has a matching band we will go back for, but I found a ring at a family owned jeweller's in Vancouver called Minichiello's. They have been family owned and operated for decades (1958!!!), and they have beautiful jewelry with amazing staff.

    Cute idea! I had a friend who did this and it was super special for them. And, they were still able to keep it secret from each other.

    My fiance actually bought my engagement ring, wedding band, and his wedding band from a friend. It's all a set so his wedding band has similar diamonds as my engagement ring (my ring has two cuts of diamonds but his ring just has one of them). He won't show me my wedding band until he puts it on my finger at the ceremony. He has tried on his ring a couple times though. Still need to get them sized and cleaned!

    He got mine from a wholesaler in Markham. We ensured it was GIA certified and he wasn't getting ripped off. I am also a diamond know-it-all so I made sure I did my homework before he paid!

    My engagement ring is from Etsy. And we are learning to make our own wedding bands at With These Rings Handmade.

    My fiancée loves Costco. When I said love I mean he buys everything at Costco and has to visit it every Monday when there is a new flyer out. So originally I thought I was limited to a Costco ring (which I didn’t mind!) But was shockingly surprised that he went got a Vera Wang ring from People’s.

    My FH got my ring from James Allen too! He told me that after much research, he was either going to buy it from James Allen or Blue Nile. I'm extremely happy with the ring and JA's level of customer service. We'll most likely go with them for our wedding bands too.

    Hi Rayann - fellow Ottawa bride!

    My ring & band (bought as a set) are from Michael Hill. They have been nothing but wonderful and even offered to expedite the shipping on my resize for free (took 5 days instead of 3 weeks) because they wanted me to have it back to show off at Christmas.

    We will likely get FH's ring from Amazon - a great little shop called Metal Masters who make really nice tungsten rings and have amazing prices. They come highly recommended by a lot of brides and FH doesn't want to spend a lot of money on his.

    I just bought an enso ring as my backup. We play a lot of golf and baseball and I find it tends to bend my rings so I wanted something to wear instead while playing sports. I love it - they are so cute and plan on getting the FH one for the same reason.

    I got mine online from James Allen. I did my research and saw so many good reviews. I couldn't be happier with the ring I got. The quality of the diamonds are amazing. We will buy our wedding rings from them again next year.

    I did not receive the certificate yet... and I donot have the ring either. My fiancé was way off in size. They told us 10 business days to get resized, but now are saying 5 weeks because the difference was so big that they have to redo the entire band from scratch.

    Well, my first engagement ring lost a stone on the side, then my wedding band lost two. They told us at first that we could get a full refund but then when we actually went into the store they wouldn't let us. They ended up having to custom order a ring for me but the new main stone in my ring was much smaller and less clarity than the original. So, we had to have it sent out again and have the original main stone put in. After that, one of the claws for the main stone bent because the gold was too soft. We got engaged in October and I didn't get my wear my ring for nearly 6 months. Also, my FH signed up for a people's card and they kept screwing him over. They wouldn't send the bills to the proper address, despite being asked numerous times for the address, meaning his bills were late and they were attempting to charge him late fees. Then it took nearly a year to get his actual people's card in. Then we found out that my ring, despite being told that it was a canadian diamond ring, was actually all manufactured in India, where one of their head offices are. It was so stressful. I was scared it was a bad omen Smiley sad

    What the actual HEY?! Yeah, I put hey instead of other words lol I cannot believe you were treated like that! That's too bad. Thankfully the ladies and gents in our store here in Thunder Bay have amazing customer service. It's just the products and the behind the scenes people that we are not fond of.

    We're going non-traditional and ordered infinity rings from Enso rings, they're silicone and will suit our jobs better then metal rings! Plus, they're only $25 a piece and that saves a huge chunk of money in our $2500 wedding!

    We went a little off tradition. I gave him an engagement ring from Charm Diamond Centers and instead of me getting me a simple wedding band, he bought me a honking rock xD, also from Charm

    We did Spence Diamonds. The staff there were amazing, both for the engagement ring and the wedding bands. Highly recommend them.
