Engagement ring help...

[Weltchy]

I proposed in November in the middle of Central Park New York. The engagement ring was a 1.06 carat Asscher Cut, VVS2 E, GIA Certified Diamond.

I proposed after we'd both hiked to the top of the drakensberg amphitheatre. Hurt my flipping knee kneeling on a rock in the process

expect to sell your diamond for about 25% of what you paid for it.

I fail to see why should that be a concern when buying an engagement ring? If you're expecting to sell it later, pick another bint.

And anyway, if she scarpers and keeps the ring, wouldn't it be nice to know she's not getting much for it?

I used to know someone in the business, she told me that the mark up on jewelry is astonishing.

Which comes to mind any bloke who says "If anything happens to me she'll be able to sell the ring." Apart from the fact that she might not want to sell it, that mark up will be felt if she tries to raise cash from the thing.

"Diamonds are a girl's best friend" was just a marketing slogan, albeit a very clever one.

Shoud the contemporary version be -'Divorces are a girl's best friend '?

From the financial perspective ?

WHS - having been on the receiving end of two x divorces, I've decided I'm not getting married again, I'm simply going to find a woman I don't like and buy her a house.

BTW - who's the hottie in your avatar?

I paid around £2500 for a .8 carat diamond engagement ring from Hatton Garden.

I said that once : as Mrs BP kindly reminded me at her speech at our wedding reception last SAturday......
