Bump--- anyone? Also I forgot to adthief I bought a dif ring it would be about. 500. Originally ring was 1300
That's my e ring that I love! white gold and yellow sapphire. Now here's a pic with the ering and wedding band together
E ring back is on the bottom. Wedding band back on the top.. the same??? I think not.
That's the back of the rings that I asked her to match and make look the same... One thing me and my husband have talked about is keeping this ring and not saying anything. But, because we are trying going to start trying to conceive in Feb. He wants to get me a ring to represent our comitment to our growing family so he could get me a band and I could wear it instead or with it at the same time.... Might be a happy solution to a complicated thing?
Sorry for posting twice, do you have a close up of the wedding band? I actually like how they both look together from the distance you posted.
Ill get a closer pic. But can you see the yellow in the sapphires in the band of the wedding ring? I think it just looks like empty prongs...
I'm not sure this is helpful because our situations are completely different. But my e-ring was custom. We paid for it ourselves (so not the same as your situation). We were unhappy with the outcome but didn't say anything because the jeweler seemed happy and was kind of pressuring us to love it. At least 6-9 months later I was over it and couldn't take it one more day. We went in and explained how we were feeling, why we didn't speak up etc. She was maybe a bit frustrated (thought not enough to make us back down) and probably a lot surprised. She made all the changes we wanted (a complete redesign) and we got the ring I wanted (NO CHARGE). We were all very happy the day I left with my dream ring.
I think she needs to remake the ring. She charged a heck of a lot of money for something that isn't what you asked for.
@ppplll6: Hmmm from that photo, I couldn’t really tell that there are yellow sapphires in there. Perhaps she could replace them with bigger sapphires which would be more visible? Ack, what a tough situation, then she might want to charge you more for the larger gems. And you also don’t really like the underneath right?
Which is the other ring you are thinking of?
Hello! The back ofthe ring certainly doesn't look the same, andI couldn't even tell there were stones onthe . wedding band. stunning engagement ring though, absolutely beautiful!
I would probably keep my mouth shut and just buy a new band. I would not want to create drama w mt in laws over this.
@ppplll6: The twisty part of the band does NOT look like your fabulously wonderful E-ring, but--can it? It's not as wide. I'm not sure that the jeweler can replicate that lokk with the band. As for the yellow pave sapphires, I can't speak to that, can't see them.
random aside: I was just over at Etsy looking at rings and saw a super fab yellow sapphire wedding ring set. What a cooincidence to then come to this thread. Yellow sapphires are pretty unusual.
edited to add: my earlier post said that the band didn't match the E-ring in the twisy part, but I take that back.
It doesn't match the ering at all. I would ask her to remake the band - same width, same design. I'm sure she can melt the existing metal to use toward the new ring to help defray costs??
Very gorgeous ering! The band shows mostly prongs and no sparkle. :( I would speak out about it for sure with the help of my husband. I like that you went for a straight band and I like the width. Perhaps have it remade with larger sapphires... Good luck!

Ok- so a friend of my husbands sister is a jewerler and she helped design my e ring and then made is custom. I love it. So naturally I went to her for my wedding band. all I wanted was a simple half eternity band with a matching twist bottom like my e ring. I expected the process to be the same as my e ring. Get pictures of the wax and asked about stone size etc. I was not. She just said she was done one day. Got it in the mail and you cannot even see the stones in the band hardly, the bottom looks like someone tried to so A bad replica of my e ring. It's no where near the same quality!!! I kept my mouth shut since I thought she had given me a deal on the ring. Turns out my father in law paid secretly for half the price of the ring making it twice the cost I thought it was, and full price! I don't like the ring. Two stones have fallen out that she's had to replace already. But its been 7 months since the wedding. Is it worth it to tell her that? Or should I just buy a dif ring and say nothing to anyone since my father in law is involved and the jeweler is a friend of the family???? I'm so frustrated.
