spot on crit. and g. all i can say is FUCK the color/cut/clarity... who cares. what avg. person has a loupe at their house/out at a bar/anywhere really.
bottom line is size, no one notices the imperfections... they really dont. now, im not saying go get a piece of glass, cut it up, and expect it to look good, but for the love of god dont spend too much. who cares about an appraisal, pawn shops dont pay but a hundred dollars or so for a ring anyway. and why would anyone sell one... once its given its given. i know its ours to take back if they leave us, but if my wife leaves me, the ring is going in the ocean anyway, i dont want to think about it ever again. tw On 1/25/06, Andrew Jackson III <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > it's money that could be spent towards a future. > > it's a waste > > On 1/25/06, G <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Still goes back to what you can afford. > > > > Also, size isn't really as important as quality.
