Vallerina 2 #1 July 20, 2004 One of my guy friends wants to buy his girlfriend a pretty ring, so he asked me where he should go. No, it's not an engagement ring. He just wants to buy her a nice little gift. I don't really know where he can go. If you know a place online or in Chicago, that would be great! Thanks! (Just for more info, he wants to buy her a ring with a peridot stone. She's probably 5'3" and pretty small framed. I have no idea of what ring size she would be.)There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Misslmperfect 0 #2 July 20, 2004 im pretty sure ice.com sells peridot stones....and their prices are reasonable also, any jeweler should sell other gemstones...i buy all my birthstone jewelry at helzberg, and i remember seeing a couple rings with that gemstone there! (i searched peridot on helzberg's site for the heck of it and found some really pretty stuff!)Oh Canada, merci pour la livraison! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
larsrulz 0 #3 July 20, 2004 Never done any ring shopping up in Chicago, but online jewelry shopping isn't always the best bet...just ask around for people who have recently purchased an engagement ring or the likes. Any jeweler will have peridot rings, as its a birthstone. As for ring size, the only way to be sure is to have him yoink a ring she rarely wears to get the size of it. The worst case he can either have it exchanged for the right size, or resized if it was a custom ring. I got a strong urge to fly, but I got no where to fly to. -PF Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tigra 0 #7 July 20, 2004 No problem- its one of my favorite little stores, but I don't get there all that often. I found their address- 4712 N. Lincoln Avenue Chicago, Il 60625 (773)728-3600 There's actually a lot of cool shops on that block. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,589 #8 July 20, 2004 Ebay. I can look and look and look there; prices are good, and as long as you pay attention to feedbacks are are more interested in "pretty" than in pedigree it'd be my first choice. Well, unless he wants to go to a store and have her try it on. Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarkM 0 #9 July 20, 2004 Technically these are engagement rings and wedding bands, but it's not like you have to use them for that. I think they'll set any kind of stone you want. http://www.titaniumcommitment.com/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
