Is this a good deal – 1/4 carat fracture-filled diamond ring?
I found a 1/4 carat fracture filled diamond solitaire ring in a plain setting for $100. Is this a pretty good deal? I really don’t want to spend more than that on a ring – I just can’t justify spending more than that on a piece of jewelry – I think it’s crazy that some of these rings cost $500 plus dollars, even up to $4000 or $5000! That’s nuts – I’d never spend more than $100 on a piece of jewelry – I just can’t justify that, even $100 is a little high to me for something so small ( I’m not broke, I just like to be smart with my money and spending a ton of cash on a hunk of rock and metal doesn’t sound like a wise investment to me).
Anyways, does that sound like a good deal for an engagement ring for her?
She’s not materialistic, but I know that she does like nice things. One good thing about the fracture filled is that it’s eye-clean b/c they took out the imperfections and it’s also very inexpensive. What are your thoughts? Any suggestions? Thanks for your time. 
If you are set on only spending $100 then I guess that’s the best option for your price range. If you and your pontential fiance have discussed marriage, then talking it over with her may be an option. My fiance proposed at the beginning of July and because we had discussed engagement rings, he knew he would be justified in buying a less expensive ring for me. We are both college students and money is hard to come by, plus, I somewhat agree with you on spending outrageous amounts of money on a ring.
If you truly think the ring is beautiful and a legitimate good deal, I would say buy it. Jewelry doesn’t signify the depth of your love for her and if she’s not a materialistic person and knows how much you love her, the price of the ring shouldn’t be an issue.
