wishbone2006 asked:


Some guy who had a girlfriend at the time asked me if I wanted children, what kind of engagement ring I wanted, what color wedding ring I want (platinum, gold or white gold), told him it was hard to answer since I was not in that situation

talking about this with other people, he saw how the cost of diamonds has gone down and wondered why I don’t want a diamond engagement ring (I said I was not interested cuz I always wants something pretty-my birthstone)

Engagement rings! Help with buying a diamond?

mrbeamer911 asked:


So, as with life, if you want something perfect you gotta be ready to pay an arm and a leg for it.

I am looking to buy my fiance a diamond solitaire engagement ring. Unfortunately since I left my job to move across the country I am on a bit of a budget.

The ideal ring that I want to buy is a 1.5 carat, VS1 or better, F or better color with an Prem cut. Unfortunately, those run in about the $15-17k range.

So, I need to “adjust” one if the 5 Cs to make it fit my budget of about $10-12k.

What should I sacrifice? Color? Clarity? Carat is out of the question since I want to keep it at 1.5.

So anyone have any opinions?

Fiance wants a dinky ring so for those of you who think she is greedy and stuck up….she is not. This is my choice.

Me and my girlfriend are looking around to see what she likes, so before we go to a dealer we want to go somewhere with a large selection of diamonds and settings. Any recommendations. We are both busy during the day so somewhere open late would be best. Someone recommended Fortunoff…
We went to Macys and they had minimal selection.
I know 47th is the best to buy and browse….during the day. But I need somewhere I can go in the evening to see a large selection- after 7, and the only place i have heard so far of is Fortunoff, as most stores on 47th close at 6.

lama0375 asked:


Hello, my g/f is a massage therapist and therfore cannot wear her engagement ring on her finger during work. I would like to buy her a necklace/chain to hold and protect the diamond ring during work. What type of metal would be best to protect against scratching? What type of metal and/or chain type would provide maximum strength so that the necklace would not easily break? Same goes for the clasp type, what clasp type would provide maximum security? Basically, I’m looking for the best possible necklace to protect loss/theft of this large investment, thank you!

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