What do you think of a "used" engagement ring?
My boyfriend and I are looking for an engagement ring. I really don’t think we need to spend a lot of money on it, but he wants something nice and "real" as in no CZ or man-made jewels.
We are looking at fine jewelry in department stores and places with sales.
He won’t hardly even consider a "second-hand" ring from Craigslist, newspaper ads, antique shops or anything like that. I think that you can get a really good deal and that there’s no reason to spend hundreds or thousands more just for something "new"

Is there a website where I can find out what jewelry markings mean?
So I was watching Antiques Roadshow the other day, and this lady had brought in some really old rings.

Do you HAVE to wear some sort of jewelry on your wedding day?
I’m a very plain and simple gal….my engagement ring and a watch are all I wear and have worn in my life!! My mom gave me an antique pearl necklace, but to me, it doesn’t look like "me" when I put it on. It’s odd to see necklaces, earrings, bracelets, etc. on me….so….would it be TOO plain to not wear any jewelry on my wedding day?
Thanks!!
