Diamonds...

I was watching a re-run of the show Friends yesterday where the episode was about Chandler shopping for an engagement ring for Monica with Phoebe. Phoebe was supposed to help Chandler choose the ring but all she did was asked if the store had any $10 engagement ring. Of course that wasn't quite the case. In reality though, don't we all want to find inexpensive stuff like cheap engagement rings? Ten dollars may be a stretch but cheap engagement rings are definitely around, we just have to look to find them and do our research.

One way to save in engagement rings is by looking into loose diamonds. From what I've read, buying a loose diamond is a great way to cut the cost of an engagement ring. Another option is buying a pre-owned one. I know buying a used jewelry is not for everyone but if you're on a tight budget, I think it will be a good way to go. I came across this site online where you can even make a counter offer on their loose diamonds as well as on their pre-owned jewelry. It's like giving their customers the bargaining power. I'm not into jewelry that much but looking at the prices they have on their site, I am actually tempted to make a counter offer on some of them. But I won't...yet. :)
