First of all, you need to work on your English. I think it's okay to wear them. I mean, you're saving money and your love will make them new if you get what i'm saying. Wh ocares if they're new or not? It's your love that counts.

What do you think she would want? That's all that really matters. If money is a real issue, you may need to consider the used ring, after all, the ring is new to you both. If $ is the problem, try looking at a wedding band, as if you were shopping for a car. And the ring you put on her finger, when you're down on one knee, is the ring she will live the rest of her life with. The ring is much more than an investment, it is a timeless keepsake and a continual memory of an unfailing love. Hope that helps.

i know this sounds funny, but years ago when my husband and i married i wanted a 1 carat marquise solitaire diamond ring to go with a plain band but we couldn't afford it. so i got my ring new and his band new and we decided to get the .47 carat, we would trade up every few years until i got what i really wanted. things didn't work out that way exactly, i still had the same one with a new larger diamond band for a long time. then last year i happend into a pawn shop with a friend. over the years i would look at new and used rings and know what they cost. i found a round and baguette diamond ring setting (just over 2 carats) and then a marquise stone (1 carat) a few weeks later at another pawn shop. i had a jeweler set the larger diamond, clean, size and plate the ring with rhodium. (it is 14k white gold). i paid less than $1400 total. the jeweler took one look at the ring and said it was worth at least $3000. i have since had it appraised at close to $7000. this was exactly what i wanted, no one knows the difference, and whenever i am out and about people comment on how beautiful it is. should have done it from the first.

That is a pretty hard question to answer... Every girl wants their very own wedding ring and to know that it's a used wedding ring defeats the purpose of YOURS and HIS marriage together as one (symbolized by the ring). But, at the same time a girl should appreciate whatever wedding ring her husband gives her, because the ring is coming from HIM and his heart... I don't know, that's pretty hard... I personally would be kinda disappointed just because he didn't get me OUR very own wedding ring...

To be honest, it isn't a bad idea if you don't have a lot of money. You shouldn't think of it as wearing somebody elses rings. Once you pay for them, they are yours. Let the old rings find new, happier memories to fit them. But if you have enough money and are starting out, then go for buying new rings to start a new life together.

thats kinda weird. you should buy a new one. they hold special meanings and you dont want someone elses meaningful ring. you can find cheaper wedding rings. 100 dollars less isnt really that big of a difference for a ring. i would definetely buy the new one.

A ring is a ring...but a new ring is your ring. Make your own memories with a new ring...why get someone else's bad luck?

thier is an old saying that i truly believe "if you start you marriage of with someone eles (the bands of their marriage)than your marriage can only be as good as thiers" Lets hope they had a good one! No one wants to marry into a crappy or doomed relationship.

They're new to you, aren't they? Those rings are inanimate objects. It's the REASON for them that makes them new again. Spend the money you saved on a weekend getaway....

Doesn't matter if it is used. As long as it does not look used. It's nothing wrong with being a wise consumer. Just as long as you are not cheap!
