About...eh, 2-ish years ago, me and my girl exchanged purity rings...at the time, I was a poor SOB, so all I could afford was a plain silver engraved band.
However, considering I have about 8 months until I can *actually* talk to her again, and because I now have money pouring out of every orifice, I figured, why not spend an insane amount of time and money on a mainly sentimental piece of jewelry...but hell, considering the amount of money I've spent on other things for her, this is almost inconsequential. >_>
Anyway...like I said, I'm bored out of my mind, so I have lots and lots of time to devote to this search, and I will chronicle m journey here...this is probably going to be a 3+ month ordeal, so stay tuned!
Also, here's what I'm looking for, if anyone feels the desire to help...ideally this would be something I DON'T have to have customized, as my experience with jewelry customization has been...subpar, to say the least. So...in a perfect scenario, one of you would find a ring fitting these exact standards, WITHOUT me having to place a custom order.
So without further ado (about nothing), here are the ideal specs:
-Sterling silver. I suppose white gold is fine too, but that seems to skyrocket the price by several hundred dollars in most instances.
-MULTIPLE inlaid stones, ideally small and rather subdued in size...small in size, but there can be a lot of them. Recessed into the ring, no brackets.
-Sapphire.-Engraved lettering. No painted crap Not sure of exactly what I want engraved in it, but something along the general lines of 'true love waits', as opposed to the ones with just 'purity' or 'protected heart'.
-Circular. Can have either rounded or squared edges. The shank can be partially squared as well.-Size 7. I'm assuming most any place will have all sizes available, but I think this is worth mentioning anyway.
-None of this thin ring crap. Ideally, around 1mm thick, and about 2/5" wide.[/b] Rough guesstimates of ideal size off the top of my head....I may update this later once I actually sketch out some more estimates of it.
