diamond ring

A couple of pointers:
1) You won't get the appraised value of the ring. For whatever reason they are typically 2x what the ring sells for retail
2) The pawn shops will give you about 20% of the value of the ring retail (so that puts what you get from the pawn shop at about 70% off the appraised value. (ie: ring is appraised at $1000.00, you'll get $300.00 from a pawn shop, if that).

Keel and h.w. 7 there are a couple of diamond shops they will give you a reasonable price. If you can get in there are a bunch of diamond shops on victoria street south of dundas, they are wholesalers but will give you a reasonable price for the stone.

BTW: I've been to spence diamonds and it is certainly an interesting way to buy a ring......might not be to everyone's taste but is a pretty good setup!
If you're unaware, what you do is have her try on as many rings as you want from their open showcases. The display rings are actually CZ stones with brass instead of gold.
After you choose your setting you can then go and buy the stone from their inventory based on size, quality, clarity etc.
Now for the ladies: do any of you actually ask to see the paperwork that comes with a diamond purchase? I mean, a guy gives you a ring, you ooh and ahh over it, but it could be a POS diamond......
Damn straight!
I have the paperwork for mine! LOL
He gave it to me and I thought it looked kind of funny, it was a VERY nice looking ring, just the kind I had hoped for but there was something wrong with it that I just couldn't put my finger on.
Turned out it was a prototype of the real thing, had to wait for the diamond to come in. I wondered after that though how many women had been given the prototype and never knew the difference! Maybe some of the guys never said anything either! LOL!
I have been wondering lately where a good place in the city would be to get rid of some gold rings, some have diamonds in them (although they are VERY small ones) some are just gold. With the price of gold these days you should be able to get some decent cash for a few rings that will never be worn again.
