Is this a problem? Do you girls expect a diamond ring from the famous jewelry store? Is it necessary to know where the ring came from as well as for how much? Is there a problem or anxiety about the truth that someone else wore that ring, and it misfortune or something?
Some girls yes some girls no,
we were not made from money so I picked out a ten dollar wedding set in Avon’s book and we ordered it. It arrived an expensive Avon box lol. But I have a friend who had to have a ring from Zale’s also it cost a couple of,000 dollars I was floored in my experience that was a few months of rent!!! I think should you got the cash and want to waste it to exhibit off your finger then fine, but when you love the guy and want to show him off then it is not important what he puts in your finger just as long as he loves you.I’m getting engaged and we’re currently deciding between having no ring or perhaps a cheap ring (either second-hand or new). We’d both prefer a second-hand ring that’s “better” for the money. As you can see there are widely varying opinions relating to this topic. You really need to know your girlfriend well in order to risk a second-hand ring, because if she doesn’t approve she’ll REALLY be upset and could always remember or forgive you. Where I live there’s a subtle difference between a pawnshop and an antique shop. (During my area pawnshops have a superior turnover of stolen goods and take advantage of the indegent, while second-hand shops and antique shops sell older stuff and do not screw quickly.) I’m a *second-hand* ring is a great idea, but a *pawnshop* ring isn’t, because our pawnshops possess a stigma of being dodgy. (People’s attitude to those two types of shops might be different where you live.) I think a ring purchased from an antiques shop is really a “vintage ring” from another era and has an aura of romance and history. But (exaggerating harshly to focus on the contrast) a pawnshop ring would seem like either stolen property or something like that used with a girl with no budgeting skills who hates the man that gave it to her. Same ring, similar price, different psychology.
If you choose a “vintage ring” you could look at a diamond ring that’s of an old-fashioned style, not only a pre-owned modern ring. Does she like old-fashioned jewelery, medieval-style clothes, “The Lord of The Rings” and “Pride & Prejudice” and stuff? If that’s the case then it’s worth it. If she’s today’s, super-fashionable girl then she’ll probably HATE an old-fashioned ring, so whether cheap new ring or no ring will be safer.
Your girlfriend
will most likely want a rough idea of how much it cost. There are many embarrassing stories of ladies taking their rings to be valued for insurance purposes, and discovering they are cheap.I can not say i’d interrogate my fiancee about where he got the ring from but in the same it mightn’t sit well if he told me he bought it from the pawn shop. Its not that i’m superstitous but you’d hope that the boyfriend could get a ‘new’ ring - in fact, i have seen new rings cheaper than some rings in a pawn shop.
Guess it
boils down to who you are going to ask - do you think your girlfriend would mind? Technically if you fully realize the individual, then you’d determine if they’d want a new ring or wouldn’t mind one from a pawn shop.If they can afford a ring from the jewelry shop and then some, I’d expect more effort in searching for one, not going to a pawn shop.Whether they can not, then the pawn shop you might be fine.
In the big picture, it is the gesture here that counts…not how pricey the ring is.
