Luxury appearal and Zales Jewelry In the summer of 2006, I took my young friend (a man in his 30s) to see my aunt at the town of Santa Clarita, a small town located near the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles. My aunt told my friend that she had a couple of diamond rings (about the size of my little finger) left over from her son's and daughter-in-law's divorce. He told her that he would be willing to sell it. My aunt's answer was to tell him that no one in her family would buy it. She told him that her son and daughter-in-law were not good enough people to own such an expensive item of jewelry. My aunt told my friend that she would offer the rings to my cousin (a good man in his 50s). She told my cousin that the rings had never been worn. My cousin was very receptive to the offer. I'm not sure what my aunt was planning to do with the rings; I didn't ask. I was interested in the size of the rings though. My cousin offered my friend about $1500 cash to sell them to him. The rings did not fit my cousin, but my cousin told him that he was going to return the rings anyway. My cousin told my friend that he was not in the business of selling jewelry and did not need the cash that much. My cousin offered my friend $300 cash for the rings. My friend was very reluctant to sell the rings. After more persuasion from my cousin, my friend agreed to sell the rings to him. My cousin told him that he would make him a good offer. My cousin gave my friend $300 cash. My friend was very happy to get the $300 cash, but he was still hesitant to sell the rings to my cousin. My cousin convinced my friend to keep the rings for the night and return them the next day. My cousin bought some nice clothes, went to the jewelry store, bought a diamond ring, and gave the ring to my friend. My friend was very happy with the cash. He never went back to the jewelry store to return the rings. This is the true story of two men. I have to believe that my friend took a little from the money the jewelry store gave him for the rings. He still gets the chance to go to a jewelry store, get a real bargain, and get the cash to use for himself and his family. This is the perfect example of how a young man can spend a $1,500 to $2,000 ring on something that costs about $700.00 to $800.00. My cousin was willing to spend $300 to buy a new dress for his wife, and he made a lot of money for nothing from this. The real trick here is that my cousin sold the rings to himself. He got the cash for his dress. * * * * * * * I used to think that diamonds were forever. But diamonds are not forever. There is no real difference in the value between an engagement ring and a diamond ring. People are not supposed to lie to themselves or lie to their children about the value of something. Diamonds are diamonds. I can't give a good price for a diamond, because I don't know the price of a diamond. Some diamonds are only worth what I paid for them. But some diamonds are worth thousands of dollars. If the diamonds in your ring are a gift, you do not have to know the value of it. But when you sell the ring, you will need to know the value of it. When you are buying a diamond ring for your wife, don't let it fool you. If you think you have a great deal on your hands and you think you're getting something for nothing, this deal will prove itself to be a bad one and you will realize it once you begin to spend money to get rid of the rings. If you can't sell the ring yourself, sell it to your friends, a relative, a close friend, or someone you trust. If your friends, relatives, or close friend tells you that they know a good jewelry store, sell it to them. When you sell the ring to another person for more money than you paid for it, don't just take the cash and give the rest of the money to your family. Have a reasonable commission to pay. If you want to get $400 from a friend and you get $500, you have lost $100. Give your friend $300 and keep $100. That way, you are getting a $100 commission for a $300 sale. When you sell a ring, you are likely to get only about half the value of the ring you sold. If you want to take the ring out of your house, make sure that you are very aware of the value of the ring when you do that. If you get a better job, you can sell the ring and buy a new one for your wife. Then the new ring that you buy is likely to be worth more than the ring that you have already got. But, if you sell the ring and get some good use out of it, you can be pretty sure that you will be able to get a little more than what you bought it for. But if you only get half the value, you are going to have to borrow money to get the other half. If you sell the ring and your wife still wants it, it is not a good idea to give her a ring that is worth less than the one you sold. The chances are that she will not be able to afford a new ring and the ring you gave her will have to be bought back from her. If you want to make sure that you are not going to get more money than you gave for the ring, don't sell it to anyone you know. If you know a relative, brother, sister, or close friend, buy it for them. Don't think that you can sell the ring and get back all of the money you have spent on the ring. If the ring can bring more than you spent on it, sell it to someone else. It is more likely that the ring is worth only half of what you bought it for, not all the money that you spent for it. If you sell the ring and get half the money, you need to do one of three things: Borrow some money to keep your family from going hungry or making some other sort of deal to pay off the debt. Go without the money. Go to a pawn shop. Selling to a pawn shop is not a good idea. In my opinion, the pawn shop is not the best place for you to sell your ring. When a person wants to sell an item to a pawn shop, the owner will usually offer a lot more money than you can get at a pawn shop. There are some pawn shops that offer cash for jewelry. But you can still get the cash for the jewelry, if you choose the wrong pawn shop. You should go to the pawn shop with a good bargain. The pawn shop may not be interested in your ring, because they are not paying for it. I have bought a lot of cheap jewelry from pawn shops. If a pawn shop owner is not going to pay you much for your ring, then you are better off keeping your ring. If the pawn shop will not pay enough to cover the value of the ring, you may have to pay the pawn shop a lot of money to get the ring back. It is a better idea to sell the ring for what it is worth to you or the right price, and buy a new ring for your wife. Then you are not going to have any trouble trying to get the ring back from your wife. To me, the most important thing is to keep your wife happy. Don't get caught trying to sell a ring that your wife wants, because your wife will feel very bad about it and you will have problems getting her to go along with what you want. I don't believe that the pawn shop will tell your wife that you pawned the ring and sold it. If you pawn the ring and get a good price for it, you may end up with more money than you bought the ring for. Then you can sell the ring and buy a new ring that you can give to your wife. Some women would not care if their man pawned a ring or sold it to a friend for them. They may think that they can get it back in the future. But some women will have a hard time giving the ring back to you. Some women are not willing to give back the ring to you, because they get an emotional high from their man selling them the ring. It is better to let your wife know that you will be selling the ring, and go back and buy the ring in the future. Then you are not going to get into any hard feelings with your wife. Women don't like to have men try to sell them jewelry, or pawn jewelry that they own. Most men don't like to hear it, but some women don't like to have men tell them the price that they are selling their jewelry for. It is a better idea to tell the women that the ring is worth a lot and then find a good deal for them. This is the only way you can get your woman to sell the ring. If the women will give you some jewelry in exchange for the ring, then that's okay.
