you may think that if you get down on one knee and pull out something really expensive you will get in trouble. Trust me this is not the case! The more expensive it is... the more opportunities you get to remind her to get down on both knees. Everyones a winner

^^^^^This...

I'm "in the trade" as you say and I can tell you that out of 100 customers that come with their girl about 98 will look at the biggest sparkle first. Have a look at various Pawnbrokers like H&T, A&B etc, they have a smaller mark up on their secondhand and you can haggle all the way mate coz they are more than likely to have at least 50% in the price to play around with.

If it's diamonds you want then expect to reach deep in your pockets, make sure they are certified and of good quality. Need help then give me a shout and I'll point you in few directions that can turn out to be much cheaper than you think...

Just go to Tiffany. Job jobbed.

Remember if it is the wrong size you can swap a new ring but not a second hand ring. I also would have been laughed out of the room if it was second hand (unless it holds sentimental value)

I'm down at Brighton with the kids and we pass the Lanes all the time they have a huge selection of rings old and new might be worth popping down there on a weekend trip and see for yourself buddy!

Obviously you've already discussed it, but have you proposed yet? Just is it gonna be you hunting for a ring, to hand over there and then, or both going looking after you've done it?

I did the latter, and as stated she went for the biggest diamond going! My original budget was £1200, that went up to £1500, which again went up to £1650! The ring she decided on was bought out by the shop assistant as it was "similar" (twice the f**king size diamond!) of the one she dismissed at £1200. The "similar" one was priced at 2k, and it was also a high street shop so there was plenty there to haggle with! That got her a .66 carat which is pretty damn big on its own!, with all the clarity and cut yadda yadda bla bla bla, I was weeping into my wallet by then!
