We'll be married a year in 3 weeks and wife wants to upgrade. I find that a bit offensive but you pick your battles.
The agreement when I bought the stone from Engagement Rings Direct was that over the lifetime if I spent at least 50% more on a new stone I could trade mine in for what I paid. I found out today they won't honor that commitment, that I'd have to spend 100% more to upgrade. First, that really sucks. I bought based on reputation and got burned. Nobody needs a $35,000 diamond so to incur that 100% cost would be prohibitive.
Is there a market besides Ebay to sell a stone and get a fair price?
How do people upgrade when relying on the original vendor isn't an option???
