hotgurl Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 It really depends on the diamond. Say you have a flawless diamond (meaning no inclusions whatsoever) these are really rare, so you can make quite a bit off these. However, a lot of the time you will spend a few grand on your ring, and you'll only end up being able to cash it in or re-sell it for a few hundred for a reason. There is nothing rare about diamonds. They are only highly desirable for wedding rings because of their durability, (Extremely difficult to break) and society's pressure that all husband's who really love their wives should get them a diamond. yes it is true. It depends on the clarity, color, cut etc.. I have gotten my ring appraised twice since getting married and both time the price has increased. it is an heirloom ring so maybe that is why. It is also why the ring means so much to me as it was my grandmother's engagement ring. I can understand her disappointment. As women we often dream about getting married, the proposal, ring, wedding etc.. so when it doesn't go as imagined it can be disappointing. I remember pretending to get married as young a 7.

I am a woman and no matter how I look at it I really can't understand her disappointment. Her bf may not of spent alot on the ring, but he DID put alot of thought into a romantic and memorable proposal. I don't understand the wanting an expensive ring thing. Isn't a ring supposed to be about the love two people have for each other and not how much a guy can spend? But that being said I have also never dreamed about my future wedding and any of the stuff that goes with it. My perfect wedding for me would be a trip to the court house. I'd much rather take the money that we would spend on a wedding and put a down payment on a house. Link to post Share on other sites

I'd much rather take the money that we would spend on a wedding and put a down payment on a house. I was going to say, it sounds like he took her on an expensive trip to pull off that proposal. It's the same reason why I think couples should spend more on their Honeymoon than on their wedding - the Honeymoon is just for them and they will remember it much more than their wedding. Same with the way a guy proposes and what he proposes with. I'd rather have a memorable proposal with a cheap ring than a crappy one with bling. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
setsenia Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Same here, if I could have done it over again, I would have gone with our initial plan to elope. Too much family drama and the 7k wedding could have been used on the honeymoon we never had. Link to post Share on other sites
