Challenge: Tungsten carbide (or similar appearance) engagement set

My challenge to Deals.Wooters: find a simple but high-quality engagement set (engagement ring + wedding band) with a VERY good diamond (good clarity and color) that would be similar in appearance to the plain, polished tungsten carbide band I picked up awhile back.

Not specifically looking for the least expensive set but the most attractive. (This isn't about me being cheap but rather seeing all the options out there, since I'm abysmal when it comes to looking for jewelry.) Let's see what you can find! Thanks. :-)

Meant to include that barring diamonds (which may not even be an option with tungsten rings -- I don't know jack about jewelry, materials, etc.) I'd be interested in anything unique but classy. :-)

Your most likely looking for titanium tension set rings with some sort of etching or inlay, here are several examples: http://www.boonerings.com/stone.htm

How big a diamond? I would imagine you would like something kind of small, you probably don't want something to flashy.
This is a good diamond sizer that will give you a printed page of paper with common diamond sizes in several different cuts: http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/jewelry?ie=UTF8&popup=common,actual-diamond-size

Diamonds have the greatest value in the round brilliant cut. The cut actually generates two diamonds from a single rough diamond, so the prices tend to be quite lower.

If you want to provide your own diamond for whoever you will buy the ring from and want something colored, try DNEA diamonds, just shift back the carat weight slide to show you stuff in the .20-.5 range, http://d.neadiamonds.com/lab-created-diamonds/

These are all for men rings, I'm not sure about women's tungsten or titanium rings.

@catbertthegreat: Great info and I really appreciate it. I maybe should have been more clear in that what I'm looking for is women's rings. I've already got my band and my significant other wants something similar but has left it to me to select. :-)

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
