jenilyn Posted February 18, 2007 Posted February 18, 2007 Can someone help me find a reasonable deal on a size 10 Mens Titanium or Tungsten wedding ring. Would like something with diamonds(plural, as in more them one) Not ungodly expensive, doesnt have to be the best diamonds out there, just something you cant see a blemish/flaw in by just looking at it. However it does need to look clear rather than cloudy or yellow. Price isnt necessarily an issue but I want some bang for my buck, KWIM? I dont want to go totally cheap, and have found some nice ones for actually around $200 with a 1/4 karat of diamonds. I dont need something totally extravagant just something nice for him. I hope some of this makes some sort of sense. Can anyone help, Im about searched out for the weekend, theyre all starting to look the same!!!!! TIA - Jen (its much appreciated):)
amyers12345 Posted February 18, 2007 Posted February 18, 2007 Have you checked eBay? That's where I just bought DH's from. I was looking for inexpensive though, because he loses or ruins them.
kodis97 Posted February 18, 2007 Posted February 18, 2007 Hey Jen, I bought DH a size 10, titanium, 1/4 karat in diamonds (i think it is like 3 or 4 small stones), I clarity, not perfect, but clear, and beautiful. I bought this on bidz.com for $84 free shipping. You can go on Bidz.com between i think 3am-6am and get free shipping. i buy alot of jewlery from bidz.com at great prices and have taken some of it to local jewlers to make sure i didnt get screwed, and they have all been very impressed with the pieces and prices that i paid. So, to this day I have never gotten anything that wasn't a great deal or a fine piece of jewlery. good luck
jenilyn Posted February 18, 2007 Author Posted February 18, 2007 I think we found one!! Not sure, going to check out bidz.com though! Sounds like a nice site! Will keep you all posted! TY -Jen
jenilyn Posted February 18, 2007 Author Posted February 18, 2007 Didnt get his ring there but I just bought a bezel set 1/4 carat sapphire pendant....lmao Its soooo pretty! TY Kodis97 for mentioning the site, I love it! Its soooo easy to use too! We need to figure out where to post this in a thread so other GD'ers can use it too! YAY!!!!ME! (&Kodis97 of course)
Kara1204 Posted February 19, 2007 Posted February 19, 2007 The bidz.com sight is pretty cool! I like how fast things go. BUT, it appears to me that a jewelry item less than 300 bucks will cost you about 11 bucks to ship. Maybe I missed something, I see someone above got free shipping.
kodis97 Posted February 19, 2007 Posted February 19, 2007 Kara, you can go on at certain times, depending on your area, and get free shipping. And Jen I think it would be a GREAT idea if Gottadeal started a thread for bid.com. You can find awesome deals there!

Trishy Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 Alright- somebody is in trouble. I was on most of the day yesterday and then this morning. So far I only bought a tanzinite ring but I do have the rest of today to go still. My credit card is going to really get worn out here.
jenilyn Posted February 24, 2007 Author Posted February 24, 2007 Trishy.... LMFAO!! BLAME IT ON KODIS97!! Thats where I was sent to look for DH's ring and I bought MYSELF a necklace!! Ive been there everyday.... looking... wishing... EXERCISING RESTRAINT!! Holy cow I love that site! I think we're all in trouble! jenilyn:D
Trishy Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 My poor credit card. Looks like I'll have to hide this bill when it comes in.
kodis97 Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 i tend to have to hide mine alot since i found bidz.com!!! so, what deals have u all found??
KiriJoan Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 Try overstock.com they sell them.Yeah, overstock is where I got my soon-to-be's titanium ring. We didn't get any diamonds on it because he wanted a "man's man" ring But we were able to pick out a really awesome one for $40 with free shipping. It came certified and everything.
Dena Neal Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 First I would suggest a Tungsten ring over a Titanium ring. My husband has had both. I bought a Titanium ring (it is very light weight) but he really wanted a Tungsten ring. Due to finances I went for the Titanium ring and promised myself I would buy him a Tungsten ring for our 1year anniversary. I bought my husband Tungsten ring from ebay. The name of the seller is Direct to Net.http://stores.ebay.com/Direct2Net. My friend had bought her husband almost the exact same ring at the Mall (Rogers Jewelers) for over $700 -- had to have it special ordered and had to wait 2 months. I paid... about $40 including shipping -- and was there in about 1 week -- you just need to give them your size. His ring is beautiful and he always get compliments on it. I think the great thing about the Tungsten is that it does not scratch (he works construction and wears it)... it is super shiny all of the time!!!
Marcster Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 (he works construction and wears it)... it is super shiny all of the time!!!You husband should know that because Tungsten (and Titanium) are such hard metals, a hospital would have difficulty cutting it off his finger should they ever need to. Gold and silver are downright soft in comparison. He has to do what he feels is "right" but I wouldn't recommend wearing it for jobs that require heavy labor.

Gold and silver are downright soft in comparison. He has to do what he feels is "right" but I wouldn't recommend wearing it for jobs that require heavy labor.This is true. My step-father has a friend who was stung by a bee in his hand and he was allergic to them. His ring was made from tungsten and his hand swelled up around it horribly. He ended up having to get his finger amputated because they were unable to remove the ring he just lost circulation. It was horrible. My step-father also works in construction and never wears his wedding band (made of gold) on the job. He says it can get caught on too many things it's not worth the chance.
