Solitaire Engagement Rings

I need to raise money for my wedding and this is the only way I can think of without borrowing or loaning money. I actually have two rings, one is a gold solitaire engagement ring and the other one is a 3-stone diamong ring. The solitaire ring looks new as I haven’t used it too long. I bought it a year ago just for investment.

My wedding is in three weeks and hopefully somebody can help me out. Either buy the ring or an advice as to what I can do. I tried pawning it but it was so low. Thank you in advance.
Well I bought for myself because I dont need any guy to buy me one. My fiancee gave me one, so I wanna sell my ring. I actually bought it just because I liked it.
*I bought it for myself.

Try ebay and be sure to set a reserve price at the lowest you are willing to sell it for or else you’ll have to sell it for what ever the winning bid price is regardless of how low it is.

I have a very beautiful solitaire engagement ring with a platinum band. Platinum, however, is outrageously expensive. My finance has already spent a ton on the engagement ring and I would hate for a ton to be shelled out on wedding bands as well. Would it be possible to just get a white gold wedding band, or would it not match?

You can get a white gold band, they’ll look almost exactly the same. But after a while depending on your skins acidity the white gold will start to turn a bit yellow, so they’ll just have to rhodium plate it. Though it’s NOT good to wear platinum against any other metal. If you’re going to chose two different metals, make SURE you solder them together. Then the platinum won’t ware on the gold. I used to work in a jewelery store and we would always make sure the women knew that the gold will ware away quite fast unless you have them soldered together. So make sure you solder them.

I know that diamonds are the norm for engagement and wedding rings but I found this ring I really love…

What is your opinion on colored gems on an engagement ring?

First of all, if you love it, no one else’s opinions should matter!

But since you’re asking, I love that ring that you’ve linked us to. Pink stones are very feminine and pretty. Plus, because it’s colored you’re able to go for a much bigger gem than you would a diamond for a more affordable price. I bet that ring would look amazing on your finger!

A few of my friends actually have colored engagement rings and they look fabulous. It’s very tacky to negatively comment on someone’s ring, so I doubt anyone would be insulting about it. It’s a very lovely choice and I’m sure you will enjoy wearing it! Congrats on your upcoming engagement!

I WANT IT TO LOOK BEAUTIFUL AND EYE CATCHING! i dont want it to be peuny. and how much would i expect to pay for whatever you suggest

Tradition says 3 months pay (pre-tax…) But now days it can be less, and the size she likes should have some part in the decision. If you’re getting engaged it’s probably something you should have talked about by now, but what size ring does she like – she’ll be wearing it all the time, every day, for a long, long time. One full karat is nice, two is large, and anything bigger is huge.
Shane Co. (shaneco.com) had a fantastic site for picking a size, shape, etc.. and giving you a price.
