for everyone saying "do not use it on another girl", i have one question: Why the hell not? He doesn't need to explain that it was meant for a previous girl whom he thought was the love of his life. he's apparently found someone else and if he feels strongly enough to give her that ring, so be it. and don't give me this crap about how it's bad luck for the marriage. rings don't destroy marriages. also, it's not recycling if you haven't used it.
Talk to the jeweler you bought it from. Once you meet a new girl and decide to propose, theyll probably allow you to trade it back in and get credit towards a new ring. That way, you aren't re-gifting or losing money.
Do you want to start your life togheter with telling a lie? i sure wouldn't. And what if she finds out, then you got One angry woman.
Take the diamond out and use it for a pendant or something on another girl. Toss the band, or sell it cheap.
Sell it at a consignment store or individually...May or may not get all of your money back, but if you find another girl, they don't want a hand me down ring...More than likely, they'll tell you what kind of ring to get... Good Luck and try to find a normal girl this time, huh...
Definitely don't use it on another girl. When you find the right one, you'll want to pick one that seems like her style. (Not to mention being her size.) One of my guy friends (by the way, don't do this) proposed to one of my female friends, but just gave her a ring that was already in his family, for temporary purposes. He never did give her a real one and later broke off the engagement. Later when he found the right woman, I think she got her own ring right away. In other words, any ring that is not her "own" ring is, to me, a sign that you don't care that much. Sorry about what happened. Try to get as much of your $$ back as possible and spend it on something nice for yourself.
My advice to you is to wear it around your neck on a chain and claim to women you want to sleep with that your fiancee died. Tell them she really loved that ring, so you keep it close to your heart etc.
what's he lying about? he's offering an engagement ring to someone he feels deserves it. what difference does it make if he sells this ring and buys another one? it's still costing him his own well earned money. a ring is a ring is a ring. it's what that ring represents/symbolizes that matters, not where it came from. that being said, i think engagement (diamonds, specifically) rings are stupid.
Exactly. The story can change. Put that ring around your neck and it's a b#!ch magnet. Better, when they ask you (and they will be drawn to it), just say "it's a secret", and refuse to tell. You can't tell, because, you know, it's a secret. They will try very hard to get that secret out of you. The secret is ... it's there to remind you not to trust them, to attract, not supplicate, and to lean back and be secure you are funny and cool enough to judge their worth, not need or seek approval.
whatever you do. DO NOT PAWN IT. you will nto get anywhere near value for it...they will offer you less than 30% of its value. If you must get money back...sell it yourself(ebay,ads,consignment)...you may not get full value...but you will get a helluva lot more back than any other way.
Eat 2 or 3 value meals from Taco Bell, then over the next few hours get a box, cut out a red heart, then put it inside the box. When the time comes, take a huge dump in the box and place the ring right on the top. Seal the box, deliver it to her and walk away without saying a word.
