When it comes to shoe shopping, I have always been one of those people that goes crazy in the stores. I absolutely love finding a great shoe that will work for my style, and when the price is right, I just have to invest. About three months ago or so, I realized that there were some issues with my current shoe selection, and it really paid off. I started looking for higher quality shoes, and before I knew it, I had a few pairs of great shoes that I really loved having. This blog is all about choosing higher quality shoes and being able to wear them for as long as possible.
Buying an engagement ring is a big purchase. Rings can be pricey and you are looking to make a lifelong commitment to the person you want to spend forever with. However, if you are on a tight budget, you may be faced with the dilemma of buying a secondhand ring or getting a smaller ring. There are many benefits to buying an engagement ring from a pawn shop. Here are a few of those benefits.
You Can Get a Better Quality Ring at a Pawn Shop For Less Than a Jewelry Store
Jewelry stores have high mark ups on their diamond engagement rings. By some estimates, your diamond is worth 50 percent less just by purchasing it and removing it from the jewelry store, much like a new car's value is lessened immediately after driving it off the car lot. If you are looking to save some money, or not take a huge hit on the piece of jewelry you are buying, buying a ring from a pawn shop can be beneficial. You may be able to get a bigger diamond, better quality diamond or a higher-grade metal than you would if you took your budget to a jewelry store. If you are looking to "wow" your love with the best bang for the buck, a pawn shop is the place to go.
Your Marriage Is More Likely To Last
Another benefit of buying an engagement ring is that your marriage may statistically have a better chance of lasting. This is because studies have shown that men who purchase a cheaper engagement ring, and women who receive cheaper engagement rings, are less likely to divorce than men who purchase more expensive ones or women who receive more expensive rings. If you are proposing, you want your marriage to last. So buying a ring you can afford helps to keep you both out of debt and start the marriage off on the right foot. Buying a used ring from a pawn shop helps you to do this.
The Diamond is Environmentally-Friendly
The last benefit of buying a ring from a pawn shop is that you are getting an environmentally-friendly diamond. There is a lot of pressure on the diamond industry due to mining practices that are not environmentally-friendly, and the ethics involved in who is mining and how the diamonds are mined. When you buy a used diamond, you are doing your part to not support these practices. If you and/or your partner are making an effort to be conscious of these practices and avoid them, a used diamond from a pawn store may be the way to go.
Once you have made the decision to propose to your sweetheart, you will need to find the perfect ring. For many, the perfect ring can be found at an affordable price when you buy the ring from a pawn shop. Contact a company like Wilmington Jewelry & Loan to learn more.
