If you're lucky enough to 'only' have to spend $999, I'd be more than happy with that.

God I wish I would of been able to spend only that much, and I got mine while working at Sterling Jewlers (owns Jareds, Kays, JBR, etc) and got a HUGE discount..

oh what nice stuff I could of bought instead... and don't even get me started on the actual wedding... having to start paying for that now...

Dude,


What in the hell does she need a ring for?

Promise rings are a fucking joke. She should be thankful that she has someone who loves her like you. Since when isn't that e"fuckin"nough?

Any girl who puts guidelines like that on you should throw up a serious red flag to you and I'm being serious.

Let me know what you think about this. If you said to her, "I need a new big screen, plasma TV from you to know that you really love me" how would that sound?

Money-grubbing and shallow is how that sounds!!

Tell her that you loving her and wanting to eventually marry her should be enough of a promise.

Man this crap works me up!

let me get this straight....if you buy her an expensive ring and if you buy a house....she will be so generous as to furnish the fucking thing.....you'll be sleeping on pillows with lacy ruffles and you will have stuffed animals all over your bedroom....good luck...

hawg....run...run like the wind.....i promise you she is the type that will want you to have only one joint checking account and she gets to drive the new car while you rumble around in an old pickup with no ac....

are you sure you arent dating my ex-wife???

I have to agree somewhat with Thump. Why does she need a ring to confirm that you will propose to her? A ring is nothing more than an expensive symbol of your feelings. It gaurantees nothing, other than the fact you are willing to spend $1,000 on her. Rings sure have not helped the divorce rate.

If she needs something to signify your feelings than why not go with a an irish wedding band or promise ring -- it's much cheaper -- but does the same thing.

On another note, you are getting off VERY easy at $1,000! Out of curiosity what carat, grade and color quality is it? What type of band is it? Where can I find one for $1,000??!!

I'm not ready to get married anytime soon, but my girlfriend wants a ring just so she knows it's going to happen.

I haven't read any of the responses in this thread, so this is from the hip: Fuck that. If a woman needs something "tangible" to "prove" your love for her, then it's time to hit the road...

She doesn't get the ring now. I'm just trying to get it at the least expense to myself. She doesn't seem to understand the "a ring is a waste of money" argument that I gave her. My mom didn't buy it either. As for some of the other questions.

-We both have new cars right now so that isn't a big deal. Hopefully money won't be to much of an issue after she graduates and I move up in my current job or get a different higher paying job.
-She will probably end up making similar money to me when she's done with school
-I don't know anything about the 3 C's but she seems to think it's a great deal, and 999 is a lot better than 2400.
-In order to afford a house she is going to have to help with the payments. Since she is paying 280 a month for rent now I'm sure she would rather put the money towards something.
-It isn't really as bad as some of you are making it out to be.
-I'm trying to get a trip to Vegas out of the deal along with the furniture. :p

Dude, know your stuff (3Cs) before you go into any jewelry store. You will get a much better deal if you look knowledgeable (vs. clueless).
