mongrel asked:


okay,
once you get married, you wear your wedding ring and you kinda forget about the engagement ring right?
so what’s the use?
why buy a fancy gold ring with a diamond embedded in it when the girl’s gonna never wear it again?
or do they?

Which jewelry stores offer engagement rings with Isreali or other non-”blood” diamonds?

Sunday, April 4th, 2010 | Weddings | 6 Comments

BabyBear asked:


My boyfriend is going to propose to me and has recently brought up our going ring shopping together. I’m thrilled, but I couldn’t wear a ring with a stone on it that some poor child slave mined. I’ve heard Isreali diamonds are ok, but I was wondering if there are diamonds from any other place that are also non-”blood” diamonds, and which major jewelry stores sell them. Also, do “legit” diamonds cost very much more? We’re on a tight budget, and I want to know how much I should expect this to set us back (I’m buying him one too).

mable.syrup asked:


I am looking for a ring that isnt a typical engagement ring. I want something preferably without a diamond and not necessarily a setting with a big stone or anything- i want something much more unique- like a flower or butterfly made of stones or soemthing along those lines… anyone know any good sites with some suggestions?

I am in love with this ring. I showed it to my boyfriend as a style that I would like. I just want to know other peoples opinion.

Just an FYI, yes it is on e-bay but it is also on it’s own web site. It’s not an auction it’s a store. I’m just saying I like the style.

My boyfriend and I have been together for 4 years. I would take a twist tie from him if thats what he wanted to give me. I’m not marrying the guy that can buy me this ring, I’m going to marry him b/c he is the love of my life. We are both adults and have good jobs. We can afford a ring such as this if we wanted.

I do think this is an expensive ring. I have a friend that is a jeweler and anything I like, we are going to have it made by him to assure we are getting our money worth.

They do have it in an ascher cut as well, very pretty.

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?

Would you be mad if your engagement ring turned out NOT to be a diamond?

Hapa_Hottie asked:


My fiancee’s Mom, sister and I were hanging out when the sister accidently let it slip that my engagement ring is technically not a real diamond — it’s a moissanite stone.

I looked it up on the internet and basically moissanite looks like a diamond. here’s a pic: http://www.moissanite.com/

I took it to Kay Jewelers and they confirmed this. I love my ring, but feel weird about fiancee not mentioning it.

Should I tell him I know? Or just feign ignorance? Would you be mad if you were me or just keep loving the ring?

Do you think my girlfriend will notice if I get her a cubic zirconia engagement ring instead of a diamond?

bobby_yeah asked:


We’ve dated for 5 1/2 years now, and we both know that i’m about to pop the big question. The only problem is, I’ve recently come on to some hard times financially. If I bought a cubic zirconia ring (WAY CHEAPER! JUST AS SHINEY!) do you think she would find out? get angry?

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