Engagement Rings Poll?

Saturday, December 19th, 2009 | Weddings | 23 Comments

Julia asked:


Okay girls, answer honestly….

1. What size (in carats) do you think the standard engagement ring should be?

2. Would you be embarrassed or hurt if your fiance gave you a smaller-than-expected diamond?

3. Do you love your engagement ring completely, or is there anything you would change about it?

Has marriages/engagement got too commerical?

If you consider that DeBeer practically lives off engagement diamond rings and creates loads of ads to show us how anything but a diamond is bad and then artifically hike the price.
Wedding planners make a full time living ,caterers the list just goes on.
Ads are shown all over TV,web and radio showing expensive weddings with smiling folks.
Yet apart from a few documentaries no one talks about the cost,the fact it empties the pockets of newly weds etc.
Has the true value of what a wedding is about lost in the commerical money spinner?
It amazes me how so few couples think of plans beyond that day.
2 good points so far.
1)Not many seems to think post wedding which is a cause of break up.
$20k will go a long way to making your inital life happy.
2)”its been my dream” .When you become an adult you should weigh your dreams vs reality.
Say your hubby decides his dream is to be a couch potato for 6 months would you agree?
Even if you do you will get mad after a few months.
But hey its his dream to watch tv 24/7 and get fat for 6 months and he probably lose as much income as you would on a wedding.
Even less so since he actually has to spent on transport,sweat ,eating at work for that period and then you toss all that money on one day which is forgotten by most after that.

Satellites asked:


First of all i inherited a diamond ring from my great grandmother, and im going to use the main diamond from it for the engagement ring for my fiancee. She has tiny slender fingers, her ring finger is a 3 1/2.
The diamond size is 63points. Will it look big enough on her? and what do you think of this setting? ——> http://www.jamesallen.com/engagement-rings/settings-with-sidestones/ring/item_58-261_design.asp?module=setting

Stefanie asked:


alright, I would like to have an engagement ring of some sort (diamond or band) to wear from the time of proposal to the wedding day. however after receiving my wedding band during the ceremony I would really rather just wear only the wedding band on my left hand. What are my options?

Enough for a decent engagement ring?

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009 | Weddings | 19 Comments

MishMash asked:


I want to surprise my soon to be fiance with a nice diamond engagement ring. I have saved just about $10,000 for it. Is this enough to buy her a decent sized, high quality ring? How many karats do you think? By the way, is it better to surprise her or let her pick it out herself?
haha…cerbphan, I agree, she knows I love her already. Not trying to prove it, just trying to give her a nice gift. We’ve been thinking about getting hitched for about 5 years now. That’s only $2,000 saved each year so not too much. And my car is pretty fancy too so I figure I owe her something equally as good..haha! ;-) We shall see.

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