… and bought completely different rings.
Right before we were about to order our pretty rings from Whiteflash and Blue Nile, we remembered that Mr. Scissors didn’t know his ring size. There was one private jeweler that we hadn’t visited in Hotlanta, and we figured it was as good of a time as any to go look at their rings, aka pretend to buy one and get Mr. Scissors sized.
In walked fate, and on the 17th floor of a shiny high-rise in Buckhead, before we knew it, Mr. Scissors and I had purchased our rings from this jeweler we’d previously ignored. His ring was less expensive than Blue Nile, and mine was the same as Whiteflash. Oh yeah, and my ring? Specially made por moi and to fit underneath my engagement ring. Everything to my crazy-picky list of things I wanted and needed.
Yesterday, we picked up the rings, and ZOMG are we happy.
Local family-owned jeweler for the win. Custom ring for the win.
How many times did you change your mind about rings? Who else went the custom route via a local jeweler? How was your experience?
for sure that was fate! how awesome! For mine we are going custom made from a family friend, same person who designed and made mt e-ring. His we will get from someone in NYC I am sure.
I got mine custom made by a jeweler on ETSY - I have this crazy artsy engagement ring that I thought couldn’t have a match, but they did a custom octagonal band for me! It was the fingerprint rings - Fabuluster - my FI’s choice, and I was amazed that they could get the shape I needed. Local handmade artist for the win 
We had our rings custom made as well by a local artist. I loved the design portion, get exactly what you want with no compromise. Best of all they are one of a kind.
OOooh, pretty! We bought ours from an online retailer, but they came today too. It shows off how beat up my e-ring is already…lol.
That’s awesome! I got my e-ring from a “local” family-owned shop.. I was super happy when I bought it, not happy at all when they didn’t help us with finding the matching band, but then happy again when they replaced a missing diamond chip for free when they serviced my ring earlier this week. I guess it just depends on who you are dealing with… 
What a smart lady. Ours aren’t custom but they’re made by a tiny shop in Philly. yay.
I haven’t changed my mind about the band, yet. We don’t walk that isle for more then a year but Mr. Tribble to be just fell in love with his ring and the one for me was really nice too. I had no idea what I wanted other then, can go with my engagement ring and not gold.
My best friends when the custom route and are still dealing with them now almost a month after the wedding. We almost did not have them in time for the wedding, so I am worried about custom making my own ring.
pretty rings! we both ended up wanting wide simple bands. So, we went one afternoon and found bands in a couple of hours and I can’t wait to wear mine!!
Both my parents and Fi’s parents gave us some of our grandparents’ diamonds that we took to our local jeweler to make our bands. I’m super excited about having both families represented in my band.
Mine was custom-made and hand-made by a local jeweler as well - so glad I went that route!
Yay for your rings! I love the shot where you can see your camera reflection especially well (2nd from bottom)
Oh I love Solomon Brothers…they are really nice there and the place has beautiful views of Atl. Nice choices of rings!
Love these! Our rings couldn’t be more different. We went to a local jeweler and I can’t wait for them to come in!
Gorgeous rings! I’m still trying to figure out what i want, but we have 10 months to figure it out, thankfully, before our wedding. one thing that i do know is that we’ll go the custom route, just like we did for my engagement ring, as my fiance bought the diamond from a broker and then we went with a jeweler he recommended. i’m really excited to get to design it!
LOVE your ring (mostly because it’s the same as mine). They turned out great, and glad you guys ended up going to a local jeweler - good call!
those are beautiful! and ia m so happy that you went with a local jeweler.
