And this period was very exotic and exciting in the history of UK and the excitement was reflected in the art and jewellery of this time period.Engagement Ringshttp://www.whitefleur.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24744976.post-45379016685273690902009-09-18T07:34:14.542-05:002009-09-18T07:34:14.542-05:00HS - no she isn&#39;t rich. She does have some debt, but like me she wants to get out of debt. She has 3 grown children in 2 states (Kansas and Texas) and 2 grandchildren.

One was an every day price with a smaller diamond and the other was on clearance. As I mentioned in the post normally 299 on sale for 188.

She is the same way, and she wants me to pick it out. She even suggested eBay, but I am leery of something so important being bought there. <br /><br />Dedicated - thanks for the tip.<br /><br />Becky - I have though of a pawn shop also. Thanks.<br /><br />Greg - Yes, that is what I have heard to.<br /><br />Robert - it won&#39;t be the $22 ring.<br /><br />greedy_pirate - man, you need to deal with some issues. I am not going to use women for my own satisfaction. I think the last comment after all your series of comments on the last post on love and marriage, pretty well said my sentiments.

An engagement ring is a big deal for a girl. I didn&#39;t need an expensive ring but I wanted one that I was going to love looking at for the rest of my life. The fact that he bypassed my one request of it being silver not gold just because he got a &#39;good deal,&#39; made me wonder what other feelings during our marriage would he deam non important just to save a buck. Not cool.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24744976.post-8713471705213761282009-09-14T11:53:20.050-05:002009-09-14T11:53:20.050-05:00Hmmm, a $20 engagement ring?

Now I&#39;m not saying I agree with that. I don&#39;t encourage debt. But I consider a &quot;cheap&quot; engagement ring around a thousand bucks. Like a small diamond from a Zales type place.<br /><br />I am married and guess what? I did not get/give my wife an engagement ring. We just have wedding bands- around $400 for both plain gold bands. I couldn&#39;t afford one and she didnt care to have one. We also didn&#39;t do this long engagement thing a lot of couples ( many breakup and seem to enjoy serial engagements without marriage) do. We knew we wanted to get married and did.<br /><br />To me it&#39;s something where I think you either drop a decent amount of money or not at all. Then again, your fiancee can provide input on that. Maybe she wants a cheap engagement ring.Gregnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24744976.post-5059759019073346642009-09-12T07:57:26.636-05:002009-09-12T07:57:26.636-05:00Hi Prince - If you decided to go with Zales join www.erewards.com and take some surveys. The money you earn can go to gift certificates of $25 or $50 to spend at Zales. I use the site for Borders and currently have $46 in the account, but I&#39;m not in the market. <br /><br />Good Luck and congratulations!
