I have heard of people getting their engagement ring appraised. Would you ever do this? Do you know anybody who has? I do not want to do that because I think it's kind of slimy. I trust him, I trust that he's spending what he can and wants to spend on it. It seems so un-trustworthy! But some people do do this! There was a radio show about it where the host asked women to call in about appraising their rings and so many called in, I could hardly believe it. And they had crazy stories, too! Who knew?
Re: Getting your ring appraised
That said, I'm not sure that an appraiser would know what to do with my ring. It's not exactly a typical faceted gemstone; it's a rough green tourmaline.
Enough said!

I have an appraisal that came with the ring that I used for insurance purposes. But like KP, I was there when he bought the ring, so I know how much was spent.
It's really not about how much it's worth though. What matters is that it's from FI and a promise to spend forever together...people are nuts!
I do need to get it appraised for insurance purposes also, I know around about how much the ring cost him so I am not interested at all in finding that out. I am very lucky to have the ring and I couldnt have asked for more from FI, saying that my ring is with the jeweler (to get a matching band made)its been a month, I wear a replacement gold diamond ring mom got me...GOD I miss my ring so badly
Nicky - you will be reunited with your ring and FI soon!!!
