I've got a genuine question for you lot.
On the subject of marriage, I firmly believe that engagement rings and wedding rings should be bought new. If they're second hand, they might have been pawned because of divorce or break-up, and I'd be superstitious of the bad luck. Ridiculous, maybe, but there we go.

What do you think of this? Would you propose with a second-hand engagement ring?
(I helped save b3ta! Bats, Fri 10 Jul 2009, 9:45, archived)
i have no problem whatsoever with secondhand rings and things. i think marriage is a bit gay though.

I went for a fag,
basically... meal was ok polite and all that,
then we went to meet some mutal friends, I nearly made her cry by doing an impression of her.
She got over that and then we went to another pub and started talking about politics...
She's very right wing, I'm not.
She said something I considered racist, (basically that racisim doesn't exist any more and that black people should get over it because "slavery was years ago")
I said "I think that's as good a time as any to go home" and stood up to leave.
She drove past me as I was walking home, I waved, she flipped me the bird reved her engine and nearly crashed into another car at the roundabout.

I agree to an extent
in that you don't need to spend three grand on an engagement ring. I would honestly prefer something that was more unique than expensive (even if it was from Accessorise or wherever), but I'd get paranoid wearing another woman's ring.

You get some perfectly reasonable rings new in the high street jewellers, for £300 or so.
(I helped save b3ta! Bats, Fri 10 Jul 2009, 9:52, archived)
What does Accessorise sell that's unique?
In any case, superstition is silly. It's what keeps people from doing things they know better than to be kept from doing.

Oh I dunno
that gives me a bit of a lazy lob.

Sadly unlikely for me or any future partner, I only ever buy or wear platinum or titanium.

Imagine knowing that your cufflinks were made from the platters of hard drives
seized during a raid on a child pornography ring

Or that the earrings you gave her
were made from the melted down reclaimed exhaust catalyst of the car her parents died in. THAT'S love.

You could have the ring made from
specially hardened and lacquered cat shit. That way you will rest easy knowing that the materials used to make your token of marriage were never used for anything other than a jolly good dump.

If you are stupid enough
to think that 'bad luck' from a piece of inanimate jewellery would affect your relationship, then your relationship is probably doomed to failure anyway.

I did once see a couple pouring over the engagement rings in my local Cash Converters. Each ring was like a dream of love, broken, then pawned to buy skag.

I mixed up my althimzers medicene and my viagra up.
The good news is that I had the first stiffy in 10 years, the bad news is that I forgot what I was supposed to do with it.

You need to keep on fighting the snow-wolfs of Azenia until they drop a decent ring.
The trouble with second hand ones, is that most of it's attributes have been used up. They only drop one decent ring every 10 hours, so it's a bit lucky. Make a deal with the rest of your guild first that you get first dibs on that.

Would a dead parent's wedding/engagement ring count? I assume not.
I got Mrs Jobe's engagement ring brand new, and our wedding rings will be new too.

I wouldn't second hand ones purely because I would want them to be ours, and have no other history. The superstition thing would not be the reason.

What about if the diamonds are conflict stones?
Or the gold is from melted down puppies?

You'll always have history in a ring.

Wedding and engagement rings are all about symbolism
That's the point of them. So I think the ring's provenance is important.

They're supposed to symbolise your happy relationship, so a brand new ring or a ring from a much-loved relative who was happy in their marriage is good.

A second-hand ring from an unhappy stranger is bad.

Just because it destroys the symbolism, not because it's bad luck.

What about a second-hand ring from a happy stranger?
Or a second-hand ring from someone who's unhappy but you know quite well?
(I helped save b3ta! Theoban What of it, Fri 10 Jul 2009, 10:29, archived)
Neither of these are appropriate
due to either unhappiness or distance of relationship with previous ring-owner.

It seems unlikely that a ring with such a history would adequately symbolise the new marriage.
