$5000. UGH. Resale on jewelry is about 25%, sadly.

Not the best investment financially but that's not the point of an engagement ring.

my gf engagement ring is worth about 3500$ but I only paid 400$ for it. its nice. But yeah a girl should take what she can get or hit the road.

I was given an heirloom diamond ring from my grand mother, but it had to be reset b/c the ring was worn so long. I paid 600 bucks for a platinum setting.

Yes, they get nutty about the 15 year old's party. Hilarious, actually.

I know! My father in law made mention about having one for my oldest when that time comes and I told him "If you are paying for it then be my guest". She will not have one on my dime. She will have a slumber party with friends like white girls do. lol

bluenile.com --- their signature series of diamonds is unmatched (top .05 % of all cut)and the price is about 60% of retail. i spent 7K--two local shops appraised at 13.5k and 16k.

On subject - check out his email I just got.

Deviously Brilliant Plan...


An older, white haired man walked into a
jewelry store one Friday evening with a
beautiful young gal at his side.

He told the jeweler he was looking for a
special ring for his girlfriend.

The jeweler looked through his stock and
brought out a $5,000 ring.

The old man said, "No, I'd like to see
something more special."

At that statement, the jeweler went to his
special stock and brought another ring over.
"Here's a stunning ring at only $40,000," the
jeweler said.

The young lady's eyes sparkled and her
whole body trembled with excitement.

The old man seeing this said, "We'll
take it."

The jeweler asked how payment would be
made and the old man stated, "by check.
I know you need to make sure my check
is good, so I'll write it now and you can
call the bank Monday to verify the funds
and I'll pick the ring up Monday afternoon,
"he said.

Monday morning, the jeweler phoned the
old man. "There's no money in that account."

"I know," said the old man, "But
let me tell you about my weekend!"

OMG!!! wtf? Read this .... http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/e...ession-has-been-haunting-me-while-509353.html

No, I'm definitely not proud of it, but just getting it out in the open has helped me tremendously. We're not perfect creatures, but we can certainly try and make peace with one another. God bless us all.


I paid a few thousand for my wife's ring and it got stolen from our house a couple of years ago. He took that and many more pieces of jewelry. Wedding bands, everything! Sucks ass. They caught the guy btw. He's still in jail and getting out 2012. Holy OT. lol sorry, it still bothers me. It was a $7000 ring and my wife LOVED it. arggg! Guy is 5ft 8 175 pounds. hmmm. OK I'm done. go.


Oh, read the link^^^. (lol)

What's up broly.....
I jsut filed for a Kay Jewelers credit card...so I don't dump a ton of money now.....I can budget myself for the next year

Man just been working and was pretty down to come back and hear about Guardian. I know how much you make in the military so I wouldn't spend to much money on a ring. I went and bought the ugliest ring ever from a pawn shop and gave that one to her first to see how she would react. She tried to fake it like she loved it but I knw better and after laughing my ass off I gave her the real ring!
