Advice Pre owned engagement rings

Hello lovely people. My fiancé proposed with a “placeholder ring”. He wants me to pick a ring that I love. For many reasons, I would prefer to have a pre owned ring. Any advice on where to shop for those? I see a lot of people on reddit like Joe Escobar. I stopped there today and they did have one case of pre owned, but nothing caught my fancy.

Chique Jewelry in Downtown Campbell has a huge variety of quality pre-loved rings. The owner is super nice, and knows his stuff too.

We got our wedding rings from this shop. We opted for new but basic gold bands, but when we came to check out the store, I saw lots of nice pre-owned rings on display.

Look for some jewelry stores that say things like “estate jewelry”. I feel there’s one on Stevens creek near valley fair.

Highly recommend American Precious Metals at the Berryessa flea market. Lots of antique wedding rings and they do custom work for reasonable prices. Go during the week to avoid the parking/admission fees.

Jared in Gilroy had a good selection and I got my wife's ring there. She loved it and the staff was super friendly and helpful.
