Another price drop... Buy it now and have it by new years! Price is higher on ebay but I'll cut a deal if you pay in bitcoin.

Hello everyone,

Not sure if there is much of a market for this here but I'll give it a shot. Located in North Carolina if you want to see it in person.

For sale is a very nice engagement ring. I personally selected the diamond from Blue Nile and had it set by Atara Jewelry in New York.








Diamond:
GIA Report - 1156993473 (laser inscribed on the side)

Emerald Cut
1.04 Carat
F in color
VS1 in Clarity *
1.43 Length to width
Polish is excellent
Symmetry is very good

*This diamond looks like a VVS1... All inclusions are on the underside of this diamond and can't be seen from the top even with magnification.

Band:
Four prong platinum setting
0.48 carats of round brilliant cut diamonds in the halo and in the band. G-H in color, SI in clarity.

Pictures don't do it justice.

This ring has been appraised for $10,100 by Diamonds Direct. Price drop: $7000 Included in this price is Fully Insured registered shipping in the US. Payment in bitcoin, litecoin, or other crypto.

Escrow is fine if the buyer pays fees.

Returns will not be accepted on this. It will be fully insured against damage in shipping. Would prefer to sell face to face.

I should also say that the relationship ended amicably so there is no curse on this ring or anything.

[Mirdude]

Wow, that's a very nice ring- do you plan on selling this for BTC only?

[jcoin200]

Looks very nice, wish I could see it in person, my wife would flip if I got this for her.

[ACCTseller]

asking price? the OP says it is appraised for 10k, is that what you want for it?

[AndrewK]

In person is possible. I will drive an hour or two to meet. That could get me to virginia or south carolina.

Asking price is approximately what it appraised for. I will accept offers and I will take full payment in bitcoin or litecoin. Realize that insured shipping is not easy or cheap for rings like this and I am including that as well. If we meet FTF I could drop the price a bit for this reason.

wooow... i would like if my boyfriend gave me that ring <3
that sound very luxury...
i wonder

[AndrewK]

No shame in buying it now for when he gets around to it.

[haploid23]

Sucks to see you selling this. Just a few months ago, I remember you requesting a $6k loan to buy this ring, and how that you finally were able to get it, it's put up on sale :/

edit: found the thread:

[AndrewK]

Yep... I guess I had different ideas than she did. It has been a sad 2 weeks. But I'm starting to get over it and I'm really looking forward to the projects I'm working on right now.

Let me say though... I didn't pay $6000 for this ring. It basically cost me my asking price/appraised value.

[Yankee (BitInstant)]

Oh man, Im so sorry for this.

If you make it up to NY, lets have a few drinks together on me!

[AndrewK]

^Thanks man, I may take you up on that. Been meaning to make it to New York for a while now.

[AndrewK]

Open to offers.

[Professor James Moriarty]

 Wow man , came down here hoping you were some sorts of jewelry guy  , not the think I was expecting , sorry about what happened.

[Anon136]

She must have been a really decent woman considering she didn't snap at the opportunity to take you for all you own and half of all you will ever own in the future. Sorry to hear.

[2dogs]

Why don't you just save it for the next time - possibly?

[AndrewK]

So saving it for the next time seems a little sketch... I don't feel like I can give the same ring to another girl... Otherwise I deff would.


All that said.... Its been a month or so... Dropping the price $1000 off.

This video (and this channel) is very one sided. They pretend to be balanced but they are very much not. This is one major problem with social media - that it is possible to make something look "popular" (or that many people agree with your content) when this is really just paid traffic/comments/likes

That's funny, but just buy a ruby emerald or sapphire engagement ring. As long as it cost a fuck ton of money, she isn't going to refuse to marry you just because her giant rock is blue instead of clear.
