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.

The appraiser looked on the inside of the rings and explained that rings have all these markings that tell things about it (besides the Karat marker). I decided to look at the inside of my engagement ring since I never really thought about it before.

I gave my sister a really nice pearl necklace set with diamonds. I get good deals on this stuff. I even bought an engagement ring in case I ever need it! I figured that if I had a need to give a woman a gift, I would have it ready to go. I do not wear the women's jewelry...I am not a transvestite. But some

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!! :)
