LOL.
Seriously, though. If it sparkles, if it’s unique, antique, or just pretty, I have to have it.
I have an online ring addiction.
I am ashamed.
And here is my latest purchase 😉
Sorry the pic is so HUGE! It’s a 3(ish) carat aventurine with white sapphires in sterling silver. It’s a size 7, which might fit my right hand middle finger if I’m lucky. Or I can just resize it because it was too beautiful to pass up… and hey, I got it on eBay for 51 bucks! Fiance says he’s banning me from future online purchases. Oopsie. LOL. But it was such a great deal, honey…….
What have you girls indulged in lately (and how much did it cost, if you don’t mind posting?) Post pics if you want!!! I love ring porn…and a good bargain!

@GelaMac: Oh wow, 55 dollars? I have seen your ring already (because I stalk this board because I’m addicted, as I said, lol) and I never guessed it wasn’t super expensive! I love that whole set, and the band that you want!
I really have to go to a meeting for Ring Addiction Anonymous.

@StefLovesJamie: I love looking at beautiful rings! I’m not too much of a jewelry person myself though so wearing my e-ring and soon (!) my wedding ring is a bit of an adjustment for me. My Fiance just picked up my wedding ring today!!! I am soooo excited!!

@GelaMac: Ohmygod – that first ring, is there a way you could link me to wherever I could buy it? I’ve never bought a ring before, but I must have that one 😀

@StefLovesJamie: I think this board is our meeting space. This board is my husbands saviour because I stopped bugging him about rings….I was really worried about mixing the Berricle with the real rings but you cant tell and all my friends and family think I spent a fortune but of course I dont have to tell them the true cost

@GelaMac:
Oy. That is a pretty ring, GelaMac!
I too am addicted to rings. I spent many happy months choosing my e-ring setting and wedding band, but now that I have those two locked down, I’m thinking of turning my attention to right hand rings. I may start small by going onto Berricle.com…. I had never heard of it before until seeing examples on WeddingBee! I think it would be a fun, cheap way to get sapphire, ruby and emerald look-alikes on your fingers and enjoy the sparkle!
I agree with PPs, I never would guess that is a $55 ring.
I also have stopped by the jewelry counter at my local Sam’s Club and oogled the amazing deals on sapphires and rubies. Either that or I’ll snoop around on Overstock.com.
I never, ever get tired of looking at pretty sparklies!

@GelaMac: Yes, seriously, it blends perfectly. I am a little shocked to be honest, since I’m assuming it’s a different metal than your e-ring. But it’s beautiful!!!

@Andr0meda: I spent 6 months looking for an e-ring and another 2 finding my band.
Now, I’m just addicted to finding pretty rings for a good price. Sigh. No hope for me.

@StefLovesJamie:
Haha! I used to come home from work every night and spend *hours* looking at rings on the internet. I was truly obsessed! After I finally picked out my wedding band, I went into shock when there was no urgent need for me to continue checking out the various websites. LOL!
