Brenden- I hear what you are saying about the need to be financially responsible during these tough economic times. Even with a stable job jewelry and travel are two luxuries that many Americans are taking a tough second look at.
I really second what the previous poster stated: “Pretend you didn't have this diamond at all. What would you do then? I know and understand your budget is tight (ours was too) but a credit towards a new diamond is better than no credit.”
If I was in your fiancee's shoes it would mean so much to me to have an engagement ring that was -ours- and the happy memories associated with it.
New life new ring.
