    My fiance and I went to the Michael C. Fina sample sale in NYC yesterday.  We got there just in time, before it got too crazy, and the saleperson we got was SO helpful.  I'm a 6.5, so there were lots of stock in my size.  I got a Scott Kay 75% diamond band for 50% off.  My fiance got a really nice band (Christian Bower I think) also for 50% off.  I'm glad that this is one more thing off our plate, and I got a band that I never could have afforded on my own :o)

    I was wondering about that sale. Glad to hear you found something! Was it super busy? It's been all over the blogs.

    PS i just noticed you've been blogging entirely about horror movies since 2007. It cracks me up! Your avatar is very artsy and dramatic, so i just assumed you were so bohemian artsy child in NY city! Not a horror chick fanatic, lol.

    It was busy, but there were no lines or anything.  I was actually pretty surprised.  The salesperson said that we got the *best* deal of anyone she helped all day.  We saved into the quadruple digits by the time all was said and done.  She did say that most of the stock for women was 6, 6.5, and 7.  Most of the stock for men was 9, 9.5, and 10.  They did have some bigger sizes though, just not as wide of a selection.

    And I cannot find my fiance's on the website but it's a pretty thin matte 18K white gold two-tone band.  I love it!

    Gotcha! Makes sense now! That's awesome that you saved so much on your rings. We, too, saved a big fat chunk in the thousands by being savvy and I feel so good knowing it, even now, that it didn't cost as much as it "should woulda coulda" cost.

    That 75% eternity band is gorgeous!
