Recession forces UK citizens to sell their wedding rings

Image via Wikipedia

BOURNEMOUTH, 04 / 08 / 2010 Postgoldforcash.com have purchased over ten thousand engagement and wedding bands since their first advert featuring Ann Diamond was broadcasted on UK television in 2009. In 2008, the divorce rate in Britain and Wales was over 11.2 folk divorcing per one thousand married. Though this is among the highest divorce rates around the planet the divorce rate has not been this low in Britain and Wales since 1979. According to Mark Keenan, the MD of Divorce-Online.co.uk, the amount of divorces will rocket in 2010 and onwards because of the downturn. The latest statistical data from the Office for State statistics indicate that, in Q1 of 2010, there's been an increase of 6% in dissolutions of unions matched against quarter one of 2009. It's no surprise that, if money difficulty is causing folks to split up, they may willingly sell their unwanted gold bands for a reasonable price.

Consumer preference research by the independent company TNS proved that Postgoldforcash offer significantly better costs than its main rivals advertising in the United Kingdom.

The offer they make relies on the melt price of the ring. They buy all sorts of gold and also make offers for other expensive metals like silver and platinum. Buyers have even received a reasonable price for unwelcome diamonds and gems from Postgoldforcash.

Thank you for all of your help, but I have some additional questions. I see that it is a Triquetra, but there seems to be a lot of different styles and kinds. Do they mean different things? If so, what does this particular design mean?

if you are unsure if someone will say yes to a proposal…do you spend a load on the engagement ring?

Well, the person I love is engaged to another..but she says she wants to be with me.

The reason why we are not together is because she is afraid of rejection from her family.

She says she wants to be with me but is afraid....I am going to ask her to marry me after 6 years of a closet relationship with her.

I have seen the perfect ring for her...and its specially commissioned in a celtic knot. BUT i dont want to spend 8000 on a ring that I cant return if she says 'no'

should I get a cheaper ring to ask her first as I know there is only a slim chance of her saying yes.

I just want her to now that I am 100% committed to her and if she did take the step of being with me after 6 years in the closet....then i am with her with all my heart. And, after 6 years, i have to do something.

So, should I go for the cheaper ring for now? I dont mean to sound like I'm making my lover for her cheap, just trying to be sensible about this.

Thanks for any help.

xx
Thanks all....

Blueberr......I have asked her all this and she says yes to all of them.....it was quite weird reading what you wrote as thats exactly the discussions we have had.

She says that she wants to be with me and she loves me....just that where we live is very narrow minded and she is afraid.

Cheers all

I think thats kinda the point - you expect that because you love each other so so much that she WILL say yes, so you are happy to spend so much on a ring for her. I get your point though, because of your current situation. Thing is, if she says that she wants to be with you, it should be up to you and her, not her family. If she loves you, she should be saying yes. I would recommend chatting to her first, finding out JUST how much she wants to be with you and if she will ever leave this other guy for you. If she says yes, go for the big fancy engagement ring and propose. BUT only once she has left the other guy, because currently it is cheating and thats not fair on him!

Name............................................

Nickname........................................

Gang Name....................................

1. Shuggie has bought half a kilo of cocaine for large. He wants to make 300% on the deal and still pay Mad Malky his 10% protection money. How much must he charge for a gram?

2. Wee Davie reckons he'll get £42.50 extra Marriage Allowance a week if he ties the knot with Fat Alice. Even if he steals the ring, the wedding will cost him £587. And he'll have to start buying two fish suppers at £3.95 each every night instead of one. How long will it be before Davie wishes he'd stayed single?

3. When Rangers play Celtic, their fans sing The Sash every 10 minutes when they're winning and every 15 minutes when they're losing. How many times did they sing it at last season's Cup Final?

4. Joey and Davie stole a 1999 green Toyota 1600GL with 35,000 on the clock - and got a grand for it. How much more would they have got if it had been metallic silver, done 29,000 miles and had low profile tyres?

5. Jake the Flake and Fingers got grassed up for dealing speed. The Flake got 18 months but Fingers got 3 years. How many more previous convictions did Fingers have?

The Beautiful “Forget Me Knot” Irish Ring

There was nothing like this before Regina had personally designed this gorgeous Irish Ring and had it made from .925 Sterling Silver. Are you looking for a perfect way to honor a departed loved one or a lost love? This beautiful ring is a perfect way to do this without being to flashy. There is no need to announce to the world that you are grieving; unless they know this already.

What does the Celtic Knot symbolize?

The Celtic Knot in this particular Irish Ring actually symbolizes unending love when paired with the tear drop that is also an integral part of this breathtakingly simple design that is meant to commemorate the fact that Love never really dies, even when those we love have passed on from this world or have walked out of our lives for whatever reason. This particular Irish Ring was designed to always remind us that Love is a never-ending emotion... something that will always be in your heart whether you remember that it is there or not. Love is not only the driving force behind this ring's creation; but also more in this life than you realize.

What sizes are available?

This "Forget Me Knot" Irish Ring comes in sizes 5 through 9. It is not clear if this is available in half sizes or not. This is something that you will have to check into more thoroughly to find out. It also is not specifically stated if this Irish Ring is a men's or a women's design, although considering the fact that it was designed by a woman, it might only be available in women's sizes. This is also not that big off a design dimension-wise either considering that it is only 3/8 of an inch wide at its very widest point.

A few interesting thoughts

The "Forget Me Knot" Irish Ring can indeed evoke a great deal of tears and emotion if you have decided to get this ring for that special lady in your life who is grieving the loss (to death) of a great love in her life. The design was done specifically to remember and honor a love that has been lost, which is why it will always remind you of that special love in your life. Can you think of a better way to honor the love of your life or that special someone who took up most of your attention? We can't; and neither could Regina or those who made this Irish Ring based upon Regina's drawings and designs.

Is this Sterling Silver or 14K White Gold

The "Forget Me Knot" Irish Ring was specifically designed to be made from Sterling Sliver and not out of White Gold. The idea was to make it very affordable so that even those who did not and do not make that much could still afford to purchase this beautiful ring to memorialize a lost love. What better way to tell that special lady that you understand how she feels than this ring?

Can I have your opinion on wedding bands (men & women)????

Hi there. I'm starting plan my wedding. It's sometime away but I was looking at bands tonight and I would like your opinion. My husband to be has told me that he wants his band to be a surprise (so I can't flat out ask him what he thinks) but he doesn't want it to be plain either. Do you have any suggestion as to what I could have put on it or look like? Pictures would be nice but not necessary. We decided that we'd live the diamonds to me, by the way. I was thinking about something like a Celtic love knot or just a Celtic knot. What do you think?

By the way my ring is in gold. Thank you so much for your answers!
Also I just found this one. . . It's also Celtic. http://www.furthers.com/images/CK08-Purple.jpg
I wish it were a little different but the design I believe is alright.

I got a tungsten ring for my husband. He loves it! It's beautiful and durable.

If he likes the celtic stuff, then go for it. I imagine that would be a little too foofy for most guys.
