wow - paying for the name - this ring I could maybe get $50 for
but look at its retail
my gal was at a jewelers and showed him some rings she was wearing that I found - he told her off the top of his head $1100 on this one
I did not believe it and looked up myself
Kay - Neil Lane Bridal Band 1/3 ct tw Diamonds 14K White Gold
so FYI - if you get a name brand and don't intend to sell - and keep it or give to your wife - know its insurance value

Yep, you get what you pay for and sometimes your paying for the name...happens with lots of things...cars, shoes, jewelry etc.

one ifund is not a knock off - its the real thing - just saying - it is only worth about $50 in gold
I probably would get more from ebay for the name

here is what you do:

1) have it polished and plated by rhodium
2) make nice pictures
3) post it on ebay and ask for $350-400

jewelers usually dont pay extra for rings with small diamonds, however they dont melt such rings, they repolish them and sell them for a "fair value" which happens to be $350 or so for this ring

Does that include detectors also?
