I was in this situation a couple of months ago, until it all fell apart, but that's an answer for a different question. ;-)\n\nI was really happy with some designs I found at a local custom jewelry shop... big companies overcharge, and can't be nearly as flexible with their designs (they have to sell what appeals to the masses).  If you find a small shop you trust, they'll probably give you a great deal on *exactly* the ring that you want.  That was my experience anyway.

Buy the ring (formal and informal).

ebay, just make sure you note that it is REAL diamond jewelry--there's a lot of fake stuff on there, so point out that yours isn't CZ in the description and put "REAL AUTHENTIC DIAMOND" in the headline

If you are looking to find an online jewler, a good reputable site is bluenile.com.\n\nOther than that, I would suggest watching for bridal shows in your area.  Even if there are no jewelers at the event, the other wedding vendors should be able to point you in the direction of someone.\n\nAlso, don't forget to ask family and friends!

what about a locket necklace where you can place a small picture of yourself and your baby daughter?  That will always remind her of you and her daughter and the fact that because of you two, she's a mother! \n\nThe lockets are not that expensive and can range from $50 to over $200, depending on whether they're made of silver or gold.\n\nGo to redenvelope.com or click the link below to view some samples: http://search.redenvelope.com/search/controller_search.jsp?No=16&Ntt=%2Foccasion%2Fmother%27s+day%2Fjewelry&giftRes=yes&N=11772&envSuff=&BV_SessionID=@@@@1194673344.1147189449@@@@&BV_EngineID=ccedaddhjkflhgdcefecefedfgfdfmg.0&nc2=1\n\nI'm sure you'd be able to find something similar in stores in your area if you don't want to order from the site I referred you to.  I've ordered from them many times and their quality and service is awesome, not to mention their selection of gift items is very unique!

jewelery is one of the best things you can buy a girl. my mum bought me an absolutely beautiful diamond necklace for my 16th and i still adore it. find her something that reflects on her as a person (maybe her birthstone if she's into astrology at all) or maybe even get a star named after her. you could get a professional photographer to take some photos of her looking beautiful, that'd be a great thing for her to look back on.

Go to an antique store and pick one out together.  Many antique stores have lots of very cool jewelery, and it will be unique and special.  The two of you will always remember picking it out together.

You can find great buys on Overstock.com for Tiffany jewelry.\n\nYou can also check out the affiliate sites like FlamingoWorld.com and Fashionista.com they offer even better deals on the same jewelry.

The average price for a ring like that is around $2500 - $3000. May I suggest that you go with 14KT White Gold? Not only is it cheaper than 18KT, but it is more durable as well. Please keep in mind that Zales and Fred Meyer are owned by the same company, and J.B. Robinsons and Kay Jewelers are owned by another. So, if you want to get the best price, haggle with two different company owned stores.

I bought my fiance's diamond on the internet, it is very high quality, and I got a great deal on it. Buying it from the actual brick and mortar store is less risky, but you are also going to pay big-time for the service and company name.

If it's possible, get her some jewelry. If you two are serious, get her a promise ring.

A beautiful necklace with a gem that she likes.. doesn't need to be diamonds or whatever, but her birthstone (if it's this time of the year - birthstone is Diamond) is good or find out if she likes sapphire's, ruby's or emerald's.  Some of the more non-traditional stones are beautiful too.. Tanzanite, Mandarin (any color really but Mandarin is very popular right now) Garnet, etc.. You could get a 'cheaper stone' and get her earrings and a necklace combo which is always pretty.. Peridots or Kunzite, or some Topaz etc.. Good Luck!

If it has sentimental value, take it to a jeweler and ask what it would cost to have it replated.  Try a locally owned jeweler rather than a mall jewelry store.

Try Bailey, Banks and Biddle Jewelers.\nThey can make you anything you want and also have a HUGE inventory. That's where my husband and I got out wedding bands.\nI don't know if they are online but you can try. I know they have a store in NY, NJ etc.
