Would you wear or buy an engagement ring from a pawn shop?

Yes I would, to me if he is a good guy to marry, it wouldnt matter to me what he could or would buy me.

Obviously, military people are not going to wear military issued rings in combat, but depending on the time frame they could be real.  If the buyer doesn't mind letting you out maybe you should decline if you're already dissatified.  If the buyer said no, I would accept the extra 10 dollars you might have to pay as this is a luxury item anyway.

Buy the ring (formal and informal).

Very important, you will be wearing it for the rest of your life. My fiance spent $10,000 on my ring and we are both totally satisfied with it.

Maybe you could design a necklace or a pin with a fairie and have a jeweler make it for you.

Go to different Jewelry stores and see if they are interested in buying your diamonds.

Be honest witn your boyfriend. It was very sweet of him to get you a promise ring, but accidents to happen. If he loves you, then he may be a little disappointed but it will be ok.\n\nMention to him that you found one just like it online and that you would like to get it. If he offers to get it for you, then let him. You can do something special for him in return. And if he's ok with the idea but doesn't offer to buy it for you, then go ahead and get it. \n\nHopefully it will eventually turn up somewhere. But if you try to secretly replace it and it turns up after that, you would have some explaining to do. - Just tell him what's going on.\n\nDo the two of you live together and use the same car? Could it have gotten lost at his place or in his car where you wouldn't have found it?

The best would be to talk to a jeweler and get some ideas.  It doesn't mean you will have to buy from them.  I think $6,000 should be plenty.  The higher quality of the diamond the more expensive.  http://www.mysolitaire.com/website/Build_ur_Ring_DiamondSearchBasic.asp?Cat_id=20\nThis site will help you compare prices you can build your own ring.\n\nIf you want to surprise your fiance but don't want to you could always plan your proposal early enough in the day to go the jewelry store. But it depends on your fiance too, if she wouldn't have a preference then get whatever you think she would like. Make it part of the scavenger hunt or get a ring box and put a note in there lets go shopping.\n\nGood luck!

I assume as she's your fiance you've already given her a ring that means you'll love her forever it's called an engagement ring and she'll get another one when you get married (wedding band). Other than that you could give her an eternity ring?

Oh, God, that just sucks that you have to go to a pawn shop to buy gas.  They will not give you very much on the jewelry.  Can you do some sort of odd jobs instead to earn cash?  check out www.craigslist.org for your locale and check the "etc" job listings.  They often have one time gigs like maybe working a day helping to cater a wedding or a weekend helping someone move and you might be better off getting cash from that.  Good luck!

When my husband and i were planning our wedding, we went to purchase him a wedding ring. we went to a ma and pop jewelery store in the town that we live in(keep it in the community). He found one he liked and it had an Opal mount in it. Well we do construction for a living and neither one of us wear our rings to work. but we do at home and we do alot around our house. Over the first year his ring got bent all to hell. It was a very thin ring. So for our anniversary i wanted to have it remade. I had a bunch of scrap gold to put torwords the construction of the new ring to make it thicker. So I decided to take it back to the store we purchased it from.I explained the situation to the lady. NOT that the situation mattered.I just wanted to pay to make a new ring. She told me that I was lieing about him wearing the ring to work.In my own rage I argued it with her knowing the situation did not matter.I just Knew That bhe didnt.But she just knew that he did. I ended up taking the ring to a locl pawn shop and a jeweler there remade a Georgous replica of the origional and alot more durable

Wait until you've pawned your wife's wedding ring. I'm sure you'll still have some money left over after bailing out your girlfriend.

ANOTHER ADVOCATE 4 EBAY\n\nI had an EBAY wedding! I got my dress, rings, shoes, bridesmaid dress, wedding night lingerie, all on ebay.  My ring is a marquise cut diamond - 1 carat, with two accent diamonds, 1/4 carat each, and small diamonds in the band (8 total), white gold. THe diamond is an I in color an SI in clarity. I paid less than $1400 with shipping. I love it. His ring was made of Tungsten steel, very shiny and different, and scratch resistent, he got his for under $20!\n\nAll depends what you are looking for, jewelry searches are easy on ebay and most sellers are very reputable, just check their ratings! My ring came from a seller in NY, they seemed to have the best deals.

An engagement ring from some-one close to you or some-one you wanted to marry?

i don't think you can but remember you didn't give them that gift for getting married you gave them that gift for getting engaged which they did. i would wait and see if you get it back but i wouldn't ask for it unless it is a family heirloom and you want to make sure it stays in the family

What I understand from the description of this ring is that the "basket" is actually a bezel that will hold the stone in place. I can tell if you if it is absolutely required only if I see original ring.\n\nBut you must remember that an engagement ring is something that you may want to wear everyday. So stability of the diamond should be of prime importance other than just the design itself. Do not compensate on the setting for a little change in the design.\n\nAsk the jeweler to give you a 3-D image of the prospective change in the ring. I'm sure it will not be too bad if the look differs only from the side. Also see if he can make the "metal bar" decorative. Some rings actually use these bars as the element of interest in the design.\n\nYou can send me a picture of the original ring for more suggestions at surbhi.s.gupta@gmail.com
