So, Lauran had a job interview today and afterwards I picked him up and we went to Panda Express for dinner. Our kitchen still hasn't recovered from the dinner party on Monday night... ANYWAY! After dinner we stopped at the Morgan Jewelers at Cascade Station. We spoke with two very knowledgeable and kind girls there, Rachel and Kaira, who helped us look at some options for wedding rings.
I, as it is probably fairly well known by now, am not a huge fan of the traditional clear diamond. They just don't really do it for me. This is why my engagement ring is Tanzanite. I wanted something more unique and the stone is very rare. So, they showed us a green diamond ring, and then I asked about blue and purple. They showed us several rings and the color of the stone was very much a deep blue/green. I am going to show you a picture of the ring, but the stones were muuuuuuch darker.
It's a smooth inlay with small clear and blue diamonds. Again, the stones were much darker. It was a veeeerrrrry pretty little ring! It was $1000, but on sale for $600. They have sales fairly often. The diamonds and the ring are lifetime guaranteed. Which is awesome.
Then we moved on to mens rings for Lauran. My favorite was this one, though you can't tell how very reddish copper the inlay is in the picture. It was $130:
He also really liked the Tungston ring that had the carbon inlay that was about $200:
I was very pleased with the service at Morgan Jewelers. They even offered to clean my engagement ring while we were shopping around. I did not feel pressured to take anything home today, they told us about their financing options and were very honest about what we were looking at as far as cost. I am planning on looking a few other places, but I have a feeling that we will be back to that place!

Ooh pretty! I really like them!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I am not a huge fan of the traditional clear diamond either. I think the green is stunning! And I love the unique-ness of the copper and tungston. Wood also looks very nice for a man's ring, in my opinion. And those prices are pretty reasonable, especially for diamonds. Also, Etsy is a fun place to look. I'm not sure if I am going to get a wedding band! And I don't think J will get a ring either (he can't wear it while working, etc...) so who knows. Keep us posted on the lovely shinies! =D
ReplyDeleteThank you ladies! I will be sure to keep folks posted. The diamons in the store were a really really dark and rich color! :)
