    After looking around for six months all over the place including the various custom shops in Madison and Milwaukee we ended up having a ring made at Krumenacher's Jewelers on Silvernail in Waukesha using stones we already had. The owner is pretty cool. We ended up getting what we wanted for less than what Kessler's wanted for a mailorder ring.

    And I got a cheap tungsten ring from that goofy rock shop in Madison for less than I could get it online.
    Buy made in the United States. Otherwise your job might be next. Unless you already wear black shoes and a visor with golden arches on it to work in which case your fellow american has already failed you.

    I liked what I found at Jareds. Adam gave me his "budget" and I found my engagement ring and wedding band for that limit. I went to the one on Bluemound and they were super nice there.

    KESSLERS all the way. Great service. Be prepared though....$1500 doesn't get you a whole lot of ring.

    I don't see anything wrong with this at all...

    When we knew the time was approaching to take the next step, my wife picked out 5 different ones. Then I chose the one I liked best a few months later and surprised her with it.

    My logic... That way I didn't blow senseless amounts of money on something she'd hate for the rest of her life.

    My sister and her hubby used kesslers and have been very satisfied.

    call me old fashioned but im of the 'guy should pick out the ring' mindset. Its a symbol of HIS love for her and the dedication which it proposes in marriage. Just think its a copout otherwise.

    Kesslers isn't a real jewelry store. They're just a storefront (middlemen) for other people's stuff. Anything you can buy at Kesslers can be purchased via the internet. There's no reason to buy anything from them unless you like supporting 15 people standing around wishing their clothes had pockets so they could put their hands in them.

    I found better deals at the Mom and Pop shops like Powers in Brookfield and whatnot. They can catalog order too... just like Kesslers.

    Jared's or the Husar on Bluemound has more to offer than Kesslers. If you just want a diamond ring go buy one on the intarnet. You'll save boatloads.
    Buy made in the United States. Otherwise your job might be next. Unless you already wear black shoes and a visor with golden arches on it to work in which case your fellow american has already failed you.
