Paris wedding ring shopping?

May 16, 2014 8:15 PM

We are going to be in Paris next week, and want to go wedding ring shopping at a sort of vintage or antique jewellery store. I'm looking for a simple band for my tiny fingers. I'm looking for a nice band for under about $450, used is good. We don't want to go to the Wedding Ring Superstore or wherever. Do you know the perfect place to shop? Ideally, we walk in to a place with a lot of rings, I try on 6 of them, and BAM. job done. Thank you!

This might be more than you're wanting to deal with, but what about hitting an auction at Hôtel Drouot? There are sales every day and I guarantee whatever you find would be the complete opposite of anything available at the Wedding Ring Superstore.

No help here but make sure to get the sales tax back when you leave the country. It's quite substantial on jewelry.
