Good store to buy rings?
Well I need to buy a ring for my GF, no not a diamond ring, I can't afford that!
I just want to know if there are any stores that have a good selection of rings between $30 - $150. Cubic Zirconia, Moisonite, it doesn't matter!
It seems like all the stores I've been into only sell really cheap rings, or really expensive ones.
Any suggestions?

when I got a ring for my gf, I got one from Helzberg. For my mom, I went to Whitehall. Both are located at Stoneridge Mall, and I'm sure if you go to a local mall, there should be a decent collection of jewelery stores. I'd start there and look around, though I have only heard great things about Shane Co but I've never been there.

go to the jewlery mart on Brannan st in S.F. There are literelly hundreds of stores that will have whatever you want or can fabricate it for you. Derco is nice, the people are helpful, and they have all sorts of stuff. (I know all this because I just did the whole get married thing.

Just go get her a Tiffanys one. They sell plain lookin ones for like 200ish. Just spend a little more instead of buying her some Walmart type ****. YWIA. :x
Or you can just say fk it and buy her a ring pop....

oh yeah! Shane Co, in Walnut Creek. Great prices, great customer service.
Or Jewelry Center in SF, if you can get in that place.

Thanks for the suggestions, I guess that I assumed that Shane only sold rings more expensive than $150.
Looks like I'll have some stores to check out this week. The next problem is that her ring size is 5, people look at me like I'm a pedophile when I say that. (I'm not)
