Default Need help finding an engagement ring!

Besides those stores inside shopping malls and Tiffany, where else can I go? Looking to keep it under $25k for wedding band and engagement ring together.

i'd guess that 3 months net income should be enough, but if you don't make that much then maybe you need more

Gift Center in SF. You have to be a reseller though or know someone.

The malls stores are kinda shady (with the exception of Tiffany's)

Rule of thumb is about 3 month's gross income.

oh yeah...you got PM also

$25K for 2 rings shouldn't be a problem. You should be able to get 2-4 carets for each ring depending on the clarity.

Believe it or not Coscto gots some pretty nice rings.

Otherwise, I highly recommend bluenile.

$8000+ monthly income = 3*$8000 = $24K ring, that seems to be too much, I would think all depends on your income, if make more, then < 3 month, if make less, then > 3 month
