J and I went to the jeweler on Saturday to pay for and pick-up our wedding bands. I was so excited to finally see what it was going to look like since the jeweler custom made it to fit with my engagement ring. The way he described it sounded so perfect. I had to drop it off over two weeks ago so I have been without my most prized piece of jewelry since then. I couldn't wait to have it back. I felt so naked without it.
Before we left on Saturday we remembered that the jeweler told us to bring any gold we may want to sell as the price is the highest it's been ever and he would give us a good price for it. So we gathered gold from relationships past and felt this was the perfect time to get rid of things we would never wear again nor pass down to our children. We suffered through those relationships, shouldn't we at least get something to show for it! haha
So we took our little gold filled box up to the jeweler with us figuring if we could like $400 or $500 for it that would be great!
It turned out way better then we expected! When all was said and done the jeweler gave us way more than we ever anticipated so we basically got our 14k white gold, custom made, diamond filled wedding bands for $350!
It was like hitting the wedding lottery! With so many expenses to pay for now so close to the wedding this was a very welcomed and much needed surprise.
So I do recommend selling gold right now if you have some to spare. That old broken bracelet you say you want to get fixed, or that charm from an old boyfriend you will never wear again all make great items to get you cash in your pocket.
We decided we will be putting that extra money we saved toward our honeymoon balances on the credit cards. Perfect!
I can't wait to actually wear my band in under three weeks! Yikes! It's soo close!
