Copy and paste from Team forum (I'm lazy

)...

I want to surprise the wifey with a diamond anniversary band for our tenth. Even though we don't need it, I want to re-propose with a "mulligan" or "do-over" if you will.
Don't get me wrong...the last ten have been great. Typical trials and tribulations of a marriage.

If one were to be looking for an anniversary diamond band, where would one look? I know a thing or two about diamonds (her engagement ring rocks), so I want quality. Does anyone here buy jewlery online, or is it best to shop in person?

I have a "homeland defense" stash that I'm willing to dip into. $500-$700 bucks. No new upper this year, but it should pay off...

I know this goes against the ARFCOM grain, but I know there are happily married folks here...aren't there?

Lil' help please...

I figured I could get and inside line here...

try this.

I can personally vouch for their quality, and the prices are a quarter of major retailers. You could get her an eternity band (1.61 carat) for $500.

They are freaking gorgeous!!

The real day is Friday, but she has to go birth babies...

Congrats on the anniversary and the babies.

Thanks, but she actually works in a NICU. She "births" other peoples babies...

We're done.

Negative.

Dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. Diamonds for dessert.

edit: I'm working on the concept of OPSEC with my daughter. I think we're still OK.

That's gorgeous! I'm sure she will find some way to express her gratitude.

Are you happy with the quality of their products?

You'll have to let us know how it goes!

Sorry I missed this earlier, but that's amazing. Beautiful ring too!

And mmmmmm..... Cheesecake Factory....

Give us an AAR. It's very sweet of you to do this for her.

Oops, I guess I misread. I hope she appreciates the ring.
