Hey, it's the recession, right?
I liked it. I think you should talk it over with your girlfriend. Most women may have it appraised.

I know it's zirconia, but most women don't know what they're wearing as a diamond.

Care to point out a woman to me that's worth that?

Just as an idea of what you may find in an antique shop go to ebay and type in "Antique diamond engagement rings" click on price lowest to highest and it'll give you some kind of idea of what's out there. My aunt lives in an area that has an uptown area with wall to wall antique stores and I've seen some really interesting, unique and nice ones.

If your guy saw how concerned you were about the monetary value of the ring he would have doubts about your reasons to marry him.

Oh My God. You don't have to spend like $5000.00 but jeese you could at least spend a couple hundred. If you really care this may be an insult. I would be insulted if my boyfriend proposed to me with that. Helzberg and Kay are really not that expensive, you could at least sell off something and try to finance it?
