Propose to marry her without the ring and see if she's still game. If she won't she obviously cares more about materialism than you!  Honestly if a guy asked me without a ring, no matter how much I loved him, I would feel really hurt because I would think he didn't really want to marry me.I'd think he was just fucking around. In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular. |

But I still want a ring. That won't change. |

definately... i used to think i wanted a half carat till i saw how really big (i think) they look! who wants that catching on your clothes or being so flashy? i can't imagine wearing a full carat let alone more 
white gold. about a third carat. juxapose that with my desire to wear my grandmother's solitare   She couldn't stop crying 'cause she knew he was gone to stay | |

Slave2daGroove said: So this question is directed at women but also to the guys that have been through the "ring experience"
What I don't know is everything. I've seen rings that were like a chip of diamond and I can't go there, her family would never let me live that down. I'm looking at diamond color and clarity with the money associated and I'd rather get her a smaller one (1 carat) with higher quality, rather than a big (2 carat) yellow, flawed one. Then, can people really even see flaws or is just about how much money I'm going to put into this rock on her finger? What's it mean to be a "certified" diamond? I'm just trying to go about this the right way. I know our relationship is about more than this ring but I'm completely freaked out because all of my research are just sales people pushing their expensive stuff and I have a schedule. Any help/comments would be appreciated. I was lucky to marry into a family in the jewelry industry. I agree that a smaller stone with better color and clarity is the optimal choice. Basically, there is a letter scale for color and the scale for clarity is based on inclusions. Anything from D-G is GREAT color, and anything from FL (flawless) to VS2 (very slight inclusions) is good clarity. At the end of the day, the ring is going to be beautiful in her eyes because you are the one giving it to her. Good luck! Feel free to join in the Prince Album Poll 2018!

Something that will not crack or chip, what's harder and prettier than a diamond? I spent way too much on an Emerald and the thing cracked in a few years. Also, I've mentioned that I've not met her fam yet but I have a pretty good idea. Just get one of those hard plastic rings for 25 cents from the bubblegum-type dispenser. Those seem to last a long time. I'm sure that's what is on your hand...NOT | |

These are thoughts forced into your head by society! That's all that is, seriously. A man's love and devotion should not be conditioned on a material possession.

I've seen a fair number of diamonds from chain jewelry stores (Zales, Kay, etc.) with inclusions that are visible to the naked eye. A truly flawless diamond is very rare, but once you get above a certain grade, you're not going to see any inclusions unless you use magnification. Please note: effective March 21, 2010, I've stepped down from my prince.org Moderator position. |
