It is kinda like servers saying tipping 18-20% is customary
Jan 10, 2020, 4:37 PM
|

now. Hell nah, you got your raise when when the menu prices went up.*
*I probably tip better than 15% most of the time anyway but when I hear servers cry about it I am bothered.

They ain't cheap unless you go to Jared or something and get an 'off the shelf' ring. Figure $4k-$7k.

I got SO lucky
Jan 10, 2020, 3:44 PM
|

I took my wife to the jewelry store when dating and said, "if you could have any of them, what would you pick?" She picked, I went back later and the jeweler was like, dude, you are so lucky. It was $2800. I said, HEYALL YES, wrap her up.
I did get a better stone put in, just about the best as far as the rating in the size she liked, so I ended up spending like 3900 I think.
Edit: this was a local spot jewish jeweler in Raleigh, not a chain joint.

1st one was about $3k (in 1997)
Jan 10, 2020, 3:50 PM

2nd one was a family hand me down thingy. No idea how much it cost originally, but not much if I had to guess. Engagement ring is really only good for one blowie anyway.

My wife asked me, I didnt get one

Then she said she didn't want one, that a pedestal ring would catch on everything and break.

Wife wanted emeralds instead of a diamond. Went to a gem show in the mts and picked out the stones (3) and had the ring custom made. Picked it up the next day. I think the cabin we stayed in was more for the weekend than her ring.

And more than you can get out of a used one. They depreciate faster than a Jeep grand Cherokee.

here’s how to find out if she really loves you.
Jan 10, 2020, 7:57 PM
|
|
Go to Walmart and get one for $99. If she says yes when you give it to her, and can go a prolonged engagement without taking it off or making backhanded comments about it, the marriage will last.

I got lucky. My in laws knew a diamond dealer.
Jan 10, 2020, 9:40 PM

I dont mean a jewelry store owner... I mean a guy that brokers from the mine to the jewelers. I got a nice diamond for actual cost of diamond and cutting.
I think the insured value of everything is like 18k.
I did not pay 18k.
