And refuse to make new rings with old diamond etc. I bought my wife's diamond out of an ugly ring I found at a pawn shop. I brought it to a jeweler at a mall and had him pop it in one of his bands. I saved a TON of money, my wife got a modern design with a really high quality stone, and the jeweler still got some business and his ring on another finger. Win/Win
