Help?! Tiffany Setting Diamond Engagement ring?! Yes?! No?

LIDA asked:

Ok, so my boyfriend bought me a .39 diamond engagement ring in a platinum Tiffany setting. Picture here:

I always wanted a 1 karot emerand cut diamond ring with diamonds on the side, but right now neither of us have much money. My boyfriend got the Tiffany ring for $1,500, which is a great deal since it’s currently worth $2,650 at the Tiffany store. I am still waiting for the ring to arrive & am unsure if I will like it since the setting looks fairly plain. My fiance says that I can return the ring and choose a different one if I want, but that means more money spent on a non-discounted ring. I want the ring to look nice without breaking his bank account, but I just don’t know if the TIffany setting ring will cut it. Honestly, has anyone ever purchased this ring before & are you happy with it? Also, do you think that my diamond size is too small? Should we save up for a larger one later? Or go for the discount?

I think you are a very lucky lady - the ring you posted a link for is both beautiful and timeless….and a bargain! Many women would dream for a ring like that!

I think the diamond is just right. Any bigger and it looks pretentious, any smaller and it may be too discreet for you.

Ok its not ‘out there’ but surely “fairly plain” isn’t a bad thing? This is a ring you will hopefully be wearing for the rest of your life, even when your 85 years old. It could end up a family heirloom.

If you are set on the ring you had in your head by all means save up and look for another since this is an important purchase - but make sure you don’t hurt your fiancé in the process!!

Just wait for the original ring to arrive before deciding for sure though Good luck and congratulations on your engagement!

That ring is stunning, once you put it on to a nicely manicured hand ………… you just wont want to take it off.

Yes, this ring is absolutely gorgeous! Just my opinion though…
My sister has a Tiffanys setting ring and she’s had it for a few years now. Tiffanys is awesome for follow up, like if the diamond is ever damaged, needs to be cleaned, etc they will do it all for you with no charge.

My best advice for your sake though, don’t settle.
If you don’t love it then what’s the point? The ring is a symbol of your commitment to each other and you will have to look at it every single day. If you can’t afford it now, you can always upgrade later when finances are in better shape.

Congrats and
Good luck hun!

Don’t settle, its sposed to represent the most wonderful part of your life and I wouldnt want to keep looking back at it thinking what if? It is pretty, but plain and I would save up for the dream ring you will love forever (like your husband)

Engagement rings need not always contain diamonds. Popular trends include using gemstones as sidestones as well as other precious stones.
