You could look into mechanical Turk: https://www.mturk.com/mturk/welcome (sorry can't do a good link on mobile). I heard about it on NPR recently- basically people put up small tasks like doing surveys for psychology research and you get paid some small amount. It's for work that humans do easily but that is hard to automate for a computer. Each task pays very little but the woman they interviewed on NPR made ~$20/day on there. So for an $800 ring you could maybe do it in 50 days (adding 10 on assuming a stay at home dad would have less hours per day to do the website than the woman who was unemployed with no kids on NPR).
Here is the link to the album! The pictures really don't do the stone justice; it shifts color with the light and is really sparkly. It's in a white gold cathedral setting.
My fiance also gave me a little treasure chest because in video games and D&D I tend to get a little completely obsessed with treasure.

I agree with this! I take mine off a lot, too, and I have this necklace. I love it because I don't have to take the necklace off to put the ring on it. My solitaire diamond sits pretty high above my finger, so I don't sleep with it on, and usually take it off when I wash my hands.
When I take it off at night though, it always goes on a ring holder. I got this teal bunny one on Amazon.
Size the ring to your summer size, and if it fits looser in colder months pick up some of these 😊 they'll adjust the ring to fit ¼-½ size smaller
Awww I really appreciate your kind words, thanks so much!! 😊 😊

I bought the shoes at a local shop but found them on Amazon! They are soooooooo comfyyyyyyy!!
I'd go with her recommendation and get a size 5.5 with sizing beads since 5 was still a little tight. There are things you can do if the ring still fits a little loose/spins whereas there's really nothing if the ring is too small.
To stop the spinning, I got this off Amazon and I cannot recommend it enough! Seriously can't feel it there and literally no one has ever noticed it until pointed out. Hope this is helpful!
I bought a travel ring from TransGem/ DovEggs on Amazon. I was really surprised with how nice it was for the price, plus it was Amazon so I could return it if I didn’t like it so there was no risk 😉
This ring

seems to be close to what you said you were looking for and totally in your budget for both gold and moissanite.
I grabbed a sizer set off Amazon since my ring is definitely in that annoying zone of “if it’s cold, it’s too big, and if it’s warm to hot, it fits just fine.” Honestly, the $5 I spent on Amazon was totally worth it.

I got mine off amazon, I think you can probably get them at some jewelry places too. It’s like a little brush filled with gel cleaner that you twist up - you just brush your ring with it and then rinse it off. It makes it SO sparkly! I make sure to clean the side stones well and the bottom of the ring and rinse it really well. They’re amazing.
Try this ring sizer:

Creepy name, but it works much better on my ring than the traditional sizers. I've got a tacori too btw!
I've heard a lot of great things about this jewelry cleaner (or others like it). I haven't personally used it yet, but it's on my Christmas list. Seems easy to use and great for the price!
