if you wanna wear the fake stuff then wear it. just don't try to play it off as real. try the area swap meet (flea market), a pawn shop, or estate sales. i get great stuff at estate sales and i've even found the real stuff. \ni live in a border city so it is very easy to get some great stuff at a great price. don't buy the first one you see. \nyou might even look for the neighborhood crack house. someone on drugs is willing to sell great stuff real cheap for his next fix. ok, maybe that's not right but it happens.

FYI  If you want a ring from past years as long as the school it still in existence you can order one at the jewelry counter at Walmart...they have a small additional charge for past years.  I ordered one for my husband for his birthday to replace the one he lost...it was not expensive (under $100) and was perfect!  He still says it was one of the best presents he ever got!

$5000 is a good price, you can probably get a good deal if you go to a jewelry warehouse, and there might be times when certain engagement rings are on sale.  For example let's say a ring costs $10,000 but is on sale for 40 % off, then it only costs $6000 for a $10,000 ring.

these are really beautiful (Hot Diamonds silver necklaces) and they come in an expensive looking box too.\n\nhttp://www.dotjewellery.com/shop/frameset.asp?gclid=CM2wr8aUlYgCFRZrQwodJC-X_A\n\nThey are a really good company, I've had things from there in the past and hot diamonds is a very nice brand.

I don't know where to get that replica from, but if you can capture some shots that show it really well you can go to a jewellery maker and have them make it exactly like the one on the movie for you.

Usually most tattoo places have a piercer on staff. Just call around and ask for pricing.

How much do you want to spend?\n\nReal gold (99%) is very yellow in color and too soft for normal jewelry (it's soft somewhat like lead).  If you saw real 99% gold you'd never forget it - it is really quite yellow and nothing else looks like it.\n\nFor jewelry, you wouldn't even want real gold, and the things that are added (silver, nickel, etc.) to make it harder always add a 'silver' luster to it (they HAVE to if you think about it - they are silver in color).  Adding copper would shift it to the 'red' side, but it doesn't really make it like the original pure yellow color.\n\nFor gold bullion, you're talking about real money, so if there is any question as to its purity, you can take it to a precision laboratory and they can give you a report on exactly what is in it.  Cost is about $100 for 12 elements, and they will report how much silver, nickel, etc. down to parts per million if you want.\n\nI'd say for jewelry (unless you're going to spend a LOT of money), it isn't worth buying jewelry with a high gold content (partly for the reason you mention).  High gold content jewelry wears out easily and its value is always in question so is impractical (its too expensive to wear).  Buy Krugerands if you want an investment.\n\nBut if you've got money to burn, there is nothing like a real gold necklace or bracelet:  it is heavy, yellow, and feels great on your skin!  But unless you're Donald Trump, it's a waste (I don't think even he would wear pure gold).  The only reason to do it:  because YOU like it.\n\nDensity measurements would confirm solid gold, but they are a little tricky to perform and the accuracy isn't as high as the analytical measurements.\n\nThere is one test you can easily perform: ever heard of the acid test?  You can dunk the jewelry in acid, and if it starts foaming and dissolving, it's not pure gold - but then again, jewelry should not BE pure gold.

Check out your local small business administration (or go online to the small business administration) as far as getting metaphysical (witchcraft) related items look to Azure Green they have a wholesale catalog, for statuary check out Sacred Source online they also offer wholesale pricing.  You might also might want to check out your local pagan community for crafters so that you can get some handmade items to sell.  Good luck!! Blessings

This is an exercise that will require you to use every bit of knowledge you obtained over your 16 years of matrimony.\n\nAssumedly, "looking around" won't work because you don't want her to know that you're even considering it.\n\nGo to jewelry stores that have a return policy. They do exist, but it happens to be a tricky process.\n\nJust go with your hunch, and don't get anything crazy or different from the general feeling that you have about what she wants.

You can surely go to bluenile.com and check out the price of that specific ring if you want to have it made but you may also check into other jewelry stores.  The thing is that there are many variables when buying a diamond and you are talking about 5 diamonds mounted together, therefore you need to consider lots of variation in price and quality.  The best thing is to shop around, know what you can get with the price you want to pay, of course, it will be easier if you know someone in the field!  Hope that you will find what you want!

Sterling silver jewelry. A charm on a black leather cord, (worn as a necklace) or a bracelet in similar ilk is a good choice. Or a ring. You can get everything from Irish claudahs to skulls. Sterling silver isn't expensive. You should be able to get something for under ten dollars. Present it in a chinese take-out box. You can find them in gift wrap areas sometimes. Or find the instructions for making one. Another great gift is three truffles-the giant ones that run about $3.50 each. These look great in a tissue lined Chinese take-out box. (Or even a mini-gift bag.) Always been a winner for me.

Try a dollar store. Jay Leno does a bit where he shows strange and funny things found at a dollar store. I found a really terrible light-up mens neck tie at a dollar store once.Someone I know gave a gigantic pair of underwear as a gag gift once. That could be funny as long as no one in your family is big enough to fit in it!

Well all depends on the look you are going for here stud. There is a site Kleptomaniac.com based out of SF that has some cool stuff. JCrew www.jcrew.com that does some good preepy stuff and can't forget about www.armaniexchange.com but they are a bit pricey but really great stuff for those nights out on the town. Good luck
