Another strategy is to have her watch Blood Diamond just before proposing. Then you can tell that her that you're not a cheap bastard - her ring doesn't dazzle because you don't want some poor kid in Africa getting his hand cut off.

Ya well she may come back and tell you it's cool she doesn't want a "conflict diamond" either...but you can spend more on a Canadian or other kind of diamond.:biggrin:

I sorta lucked out...my wife doesn't care too much if it's "real", as long as it's big and shiny. :biggrin:


...of course she didn't let me in on this little secret until after I bought "real" (white gold w/ diamond) :( ...but from here on out, I can't go wrong with silver & cz.

...now if I can only figure out how to slip off her wedding / engagement band, sell and replace without her knowing.

:evil:

"No, but that's still driving up the demand for all diamonds which in turn contributes to the ongoing problems within the diamond industry. Regardless of origin, I just cannot, in good conscience, purchase something that, either directly or indirectly, leads to the brutality that has occurred in South Africa. Won't somebody please think of the children!"


Problem solved!

EDIT - plus it makes it seem like you have principles and shit, which ought to be worth something.

This "Killer Engagement Ring" flips the diamond so the pointy side is facing out. Diamonds being super hard and everything, this makes the ring a pretty serious weapon, capable of cutting skin right down to the bone. It can also be used to scrape the shit out of car doors if you want to leave a message for somebody. It's terrifying, really, but love can be scary sometimes. link

Engagement ring question

Ok gents, I know I havent posted on this forum in quite a bit, but in any event I would like some opinions.

NYB has finally decided to take the plunge and ask for my gf's hand. I just reserved a room in a fancy schamancy NY hotel and made a reservation at One If By Land. Date is gonna be in mid-Feb.

Last thing is the ring. Was just online learning about cut, color, etc. A bit overwhelming at first I suppose.

My question to you guys is this - how much do you guys think is a reasonable budget for an engagement ring? Im pretty conservative fiscally, but I know its a once in a lifetime kinda purchase.

Also, of the factors involved - which do you think is most important? Do you sacrifice color for size, clarity, etc? Or the other way around.

Really any info you can give me on the topic Id appreciate.

Thanks in advance - for both the serious replies and the smart-assery that is sure to follow......

When my sister owned her jewelry store, she recommended people check out Blue Nile for personal purchases (if they didn't live in her area):

So many of your questions deal with personal preference; therefore, it's not easy to give you direct answers. For my wife, I had my wife involved. Some women like having a part in this very important piece. Thus, I'll just contribute by pointing out Blue Nile and wish you the best.
