The ring isn't supposed to be a reverse dowry, it is a meant more as a symbol of your love and commitment, than a financial transaction.

Take that extra 20k and put it towards a house, retirement, kids' college,etc.

Hey buddy that BAR exam isn't going to mean dick since there is few and far between law schools that are good in Sunny Florida. ;)

I don't know any wholesale jewelers around here but there is Borsheims here where I bought myself a pair of diamond earrings before, How would I go about finding a whole saler?

ive read that rings are 400-800% marked up.....I bought mine for my wife last year just in time as the platinum had doubled in price....hopefully you can find a ring with a little black mark or something on the side of it....it will bring the value down a little for you then just cover one of the prongs over the spot....that is what a lot of jewlers do....

I agree, don't spend a ton of money on a wedding ring. If she's materialistic and demands a nice rock, then you have bigger problems ahead in your marriage. Save your money for a house, wedding costs, and other necessary expenses. Like others have said, most of us wouldn't know the difference between a $2,000 ring and a $20,000 ring. Whoever came up with a 2 month salary for a ring must own a jewerly store and looking to scam some poor guy.

Never been to WV heard it was a nice place, a kid I knew along time ago Blake Larsen went on a unofficial recruiting visit there and almost signed with wvu. He said he liked the feel of it alot.

How Much for a good engagement ring? - Part Deux

Since the other thread got derailed a bit, I'll repose the question:

How much is a good price to spend on Engagement Ring?

And now we turn the microphone over to RxForum friend FISHHEAD who for crying out loud, should be in the market for one of these nuggets ASAP

FH should surely grab the much younger Billsfan as his 1st wife , if so inclined, IMO.

Older 45ish bald guy, with a hottie that looks like she's 30ish, she looks a lot like my youngest step-daughter ( about 23).

Last chance for a hottie, FH !

Pretty cool to get a hot younger woman that knows sports.
