Financing for an Engagement Ring

December 22nd, 2010

So what are my options? I need to use some type of credit or financing to buy a ring because I just don’t have enough saved up. I really don’t want to use a credit card cuz I think I’ll be paying for this engagement for the rest of my life lol! Does anyone know any secrets in this business?

bethv_84 asked:


I was wondering if they could still be joined together to make a set? If so, will any jewelry store set them for me? Or will they usually only do their own rings? And, if/when should they be joined? before ceremony or after wedding?? Please help!

Diamond ring - CTR vs CTW?

September 21st, 2010
KelMarie asked:


I have a diamond ring that I got years ago from an ex. I know nothing about diamonds and am trying to figure out what it is. This is what the receipt says: LDS RG .64CTR l-l1 .88CTW 14KYG. Can anyone tell me what this means? What is CTR vs CTW?

The ring itself has a big round diamond in the center w/ 3 small diamonds on each side.

Any help in explaining any of this would be greatly appreciated. I know what the ring is worth, I am just trying to understand it better. Thanks.

Antique Diamond Ring 2 carat?

August 17th, 2010
Bride to be asked:


Hi,

I am looking at purchasing a diamond ring that is quite old.
2.05 carat
I1 clarity
I colour
Round diamond.
I am unsure of the metal its either white gold or platinum.
It is fairly cheap (£1500 -£2000), and definitely in our pricerange as it is an antique. I know that I1 is frowned upon but if it looks okay does it matter? The cut I am assuming is not so good as its so old and the new diamonds are better cut.
I am just wanting to hear everyone’s opinion.

Thanks

Wedding Ring/Band and Proposal/Marriage process questions?

June 28th, 2010
Mr. C asked:


I am about to propose but have several questions. I know I am supposed to give her a wedding ring and a wedding band. I’m under the impression that the ring is the fancy one with the jewels and the band is like a second ring without jewels. Is this correct?

I know I give one to her when I propose and one during the wedding. Does she get the fancy ring when I propose and the band at the wedding or is it the other way around?

Either way, I know she gets one of those when I propose. So after I propose (and yes, I know she will accept lol), I assume she puts the ring on immediately. So is it correct that during the engagement, only the woman wears a ring? And the man does not?

Final question: At the wedding we exchange rings (or bands). Is the female supposed to get the man’s wedding ring?

As you can see, I only have a hazy idea of how the process works. I would appreciate any help one can give. Thanks in advance =)
