Would love to see who has rings that are NOT diamond (but feel free to post even if they ARE diamond) that are under $500. If you could give specs and prices please! :)
@FutureMrsHolmes: Here is my blue topaz! I had one customer at the jewelry counter scoff at the ring, she didn't think it was a "wedding ring." But I love it and its totally me!
Original Price for ring: $600.00
My price after sales and crazy discounts: $222.00! (I am pretty proud of that!)
@HelleCat: Where did you get that?! I love it!
@turkey22: For some reason it's not letting me see the picture! :(
Helzburgs =) They have a line called sapphire essente.
Also overstock has this white sapphire wedding SET in 10k white gold for a whole $440.

There's a 6.5mm moissy selling on Diamond Bistro right now for $125:

If you put it in this setting:

You'd have a forever ring (gold) with a forever stone (moissy is almost as hard as diamonds, and will wear similarly) for under $500.
@FutureMrsHolmes: Thank you! I do as well. I am not really a "diamonds are a girls best friend" kind of girl, just not me. I knew I wanted a non-diamond stone and blue has been my fave color since I was about 11. I especially like the smaller diamonds donw the band. I think it accents the diamonds that frame the topaz.
OOOH! I love any time I get to show off my RHR/DPR!
It's a substantial ring though- the gem is pretty big but it's beautiful. It's Judith Ripka, and bloomingdales always has sales, so you can get it for around $300 or so.
I absolutely LOVE this white sapphire bezel ring from Etsy:

Only $138! http://www.etsy.com/listing/64022425/white-topaz-gemstone-ring-pear-shaped
The seller has a lot of gorgeous gemstone rings for great prices.
I am also partial to ruby rings, and I just saw this one and now want it for a RHR:

@sarahbabs: I think it's my computer but i cant see the rings this time either! :(
This is my RHR. It's a garnet center stone, and I absolutely love it. I get way more compliments on it than on my engagement ring. It's from Macy's, I think with sales and coupons it came to somewhere between $300-400. Good luck!

This is not my ring but we were in the store the other day and was thinking about getting it as a second ring to wear on trips or something (I'm always paranoid that I will lose my ring). This is from David Yurman $425. It is sterling silver with pave diamonds.

@Heartly: Love that! I would like one in pink sapphire! lol.

Mine was only $99! Morganite in rose gold. I love it <3
Yes! I think I finally found my wedding band on Applesofgold.com. It's 14k white gold with 20 tiny diamonds (only 0.07k) and only $175 -- free shipping too!
!
@MabelleBliss: I would love this if it had more to it! I'm just not big on solitaire rings for me! I want the big and bling factor! :)
@FutureMrsHolmes: If you got a ring like this, and an enhancer for it, you'd have bling with lots of options for under $500 total.

14ct white gold diamond ring (engagement) - $575
14ct white gold diamond ring (wedding band) - $299.40
14 ct gold and .2 ct diamond, it cost right over $500 with the warranty on it. I never wanted FI to spend a ton of money on my ring, but I've always been a diamond kind of girl lol

$420 - Moissanite co ring 

$540 - Moissanite co ring

$488 - Moissanite.com ring

$553 - Moissanite.com
This is what I'm hoping for!! http://www.gemvara.com/jewelry/oval-solitaire-ring/oval-green-amethyst-palladium-ring/2cc2c It's a green amethyst in palladium at $407. Wish I knew how to post a pic via my phone!
3 1/2 carat pink topaz with diamond halo on white gold. A little under $200!




My initial e-ring was $350. A large cushion cut smokey quartz. I changed it to diamonds because quartz is too soft and was getting scratched up! I'm changing it into a pendant.
