Not that I am complaining considering I recently purchased my future hubby’s wedding ring. We went to two stores to check out men’s rings and found the second store because of a coupon I got in the mail. Is it tacky that I was going to use a coupon to buy his ring? I am actually glad I got that coupon because that’s how we ended up at the second store.
Future hubby didn’t like most of the rings we looked at. I really thought I was the picky one, until we went ring shopping. We finally found one that all three of us liked. Future hubby, myself, and the sales rep. Not that the sales reps opinion mattered much, but she seemed to want to add her two cents here and there. I didn’t mind considering she was really nice. Who are we kidding, all sales reps are nice when they’re about to get a sale. Unlike my David’s bridal experience with that sales rep.
Unfortunately the ring we all liked wasn’t a part of the sale where I could use the coupon, which sucked because it was a 30% off coupon. Fortunately for me, I was able to negotiate no tax. It wasn’t 30%, but I still saved 13%.
It’s amazing how cheap men’s wedding bands are compared to women’s. I know our rings have diamonds, and some people are into the cut, the carats, the size, the clarity, the shape, the color and so on. All things that don’t matter much to me at all. But still, even the men’s rings with diamonds are a few hundred dollars and even cheaper if you have a coupon. Lol! I am happy in my case since I didn’t have to dish out as much money as he did, which I know won’t matter much in a few months when we’re one. But in the mean time, I can save more for our future since his ring came in under budget.
I noticed that too! We are currently just browsing but it's still funny when you look at it. My fiance just wants a plain titanium band so it shouldn't be too bad.
And yes, sales people always want to throw in there two cents. They tried to point out a really ugly bridal set to us when we were looking for my engagement ring. And than she kept pointing it out because she really liked it.
Congratulations on your engagement!
Isn't that funny that they always have an opinion! I guess they're paid for that. Maybe the commission was more on the ugly bridal set.

Yeah my husband's ring was less than $50, while the simplest, plainest, cheapest 10k gold band I could find for myself was still $80 after negotiating the price.

Wedding rings naturally to be precious and expensive as ring gift to wife in wedding celebrity is exciting and surprising moment. A lot of camera, photo, plash, and lighting are picking up in that wedding gift moment. Really, it is an wonderful moment for the wedder.
The average price of an engagement ring is three thousand dollars, but not for these celebrity rings, not even close. There are ten Hollywood stars that could buy a house or two, maybe even three with what they are wearing on their ring fingers.
