what can i say,, but 25,000 is alot like i said

so he looking to get a good price on the trade in

he wont go any higher than 15,000 out of pocket,,

so 15,000 + price of diamond he has , will be what he spends on the ring

Oh don't get me wrong... I know most people want something expensive or want to spend lots of money on a ring... I can just think of so many things I could do with that money rather than get engaged :eek: :D . If someone gave me a 25,000 ring, I could probably be able to SEE the countries that would get me to :D

It's a new car! it's a semester at a state university! it's a down payment on a house! Shit, if I had $25,000 to drop there is no way in HELL I would spend it on a ring!

oh and whoever said "it should be the best ring he can afford"-why??? shouldn't it be the nicest ring for cheapest? I mean if you found a ring you loved and it was like $100, why wouldn't you get it?

abit steep for him he wants to pay around $15,000

so hes gonna look to trade the old diamond he has back to the jeweler
and go from there
if he can get 10,000 for the old diamond ,, then the first price can work

15 +10=25

ill be sure to keep u cats updated lol



thats fucking obscene... for $25000 you could do a lot more than a shiny ring... i'd rather be single than be with someone who wanted a ring for that much... plus $25000 can buy you a lot of hookers.
oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

well I wouldn't say cheapest... but if you find a ring you love, the diamonds shouldn't have to be made bigger... you shouldn't look for a more expensive version of the one you love :o . I don't know about most people but I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a $1,000 ring and a $50,000 ring anyway... but that's just me :D

I can see that, but when it comes down to it, it's a rock. it's a piece of rock you wear on your finger. it just goes to show the state of our society when people don't think twice about spending that much on something that really has no practical use. After a few weeks, it's just a ring. She'll put it on every day and it'll just become part of getting dressed in the morning.

good man :) if he can afford it, why the hell not? and it doesn't mean it is HUGE and pretentious. It is probably great qulaity. My friend's ring is about $25k and it is not obnoxious at all....it's just very close to a perfect stone.

I guess people just have different budgets... and some people see the amount you spend as proof of your love. I can understand that. If someone gave me a 25,000 ring I wouldn't say no :D but after I found out how much it was worth, I reckon I'd suggest we cash it in, get something maybe for 1,500 and live like kings and queens for a few months :)
