is that smiley face mean its hard to get a ring a girl will like?
you think that is good? cuz im seeing rings that are 17000 and im not sure if the feeling in my stomach is love or disgust
Not if it's a nice girl.
It shouldn't be hard. It's just a present. Yes it's one she'll presumably wear for the rest of her life...but, still just a present.
this just calmed me down like 400 percent... THANK YOU SO MUCH!
lol, it's the absolute truth. And if you're with the right girl, she will see it that way too and she will love it because you gave it to her...no matter how much it costs.
Do you have an idea of what she'll like in terms of metal and shape?
^^Two biggest factors in getting our choices narrowed down. Thankfully, my then-gf and I were openly discussing marriage. Sparing ourselves the surprise really made it easier in terms of ring selection.
I'm glad she was open to that route. Getting married was still every bit as exciting.

Oh wow mac! :eek: That's an awful lot of money to spend on a piece of jewellery even if it is an engagement ring. Wouldn't the money be better spent on setting up your life together? I'd hate having something that expensive on my hand. I'd be paranoid about losing it.
Does she wear jewellery now? I'd be sussing that out and see what style she likes. Ask her girlfriends or family maybe?
Ultimately it's not about the ring anyway, well as far as I can see, it's about the commitment and wanting to spend your lives together, so you could put a curtain ring on my finger if I loved the guy and I'd be thrilled. I think if you are thinking that it's time to pop the question you're probably pretty sure what the answer is going to be which means she loves you and wants to spend her life with you. I doubt very much she's going to care too much how much you spend on the ring as long as you've spent some time looking for one that you think she'd like. The fact you're asking, and that you put some consideration into it is going to be the memorable thing.

The ring is very personal. Some women (myself included) wouldn't want something worth so much money on their hand.
Maybe your girl is different. I know plenty of women who MUST have something ostentatious on their finger.
If you don't know her style, I second the suggestion of checking with her family/friends.
Don't some places let you buy the rock on a temporary setting, so she can chose what setting she wants later? I need some help on that part, 'cause I don't know for sure, but it seems like a good idea.

thats a sales gimmick
you don't say! :P
yes, it was part of the De Beers marketing campaign in the early 20th century...and it's still a common trend.
Hehe. I had no engagement ring. (Well, I think I may have for my first marriage, but I block most of that from my memory) My current husband and I just decided to get married, without a formal engagement. We set the date for our *dating* anniversary and picked up some sterling silver bands for just under $27.
Yes, we were on a tight budget.
We have since purchased (modest) diamond bands, but I prefer the kind of ring I don't have to worry about.
I keep asking hubby if I can just store this one away and wear costume jewelry rings on the correct finger to show I'm married.

$5000 is too much if you think it's too much.
Get a ring she will love. If she loves you it shouldn't matter how much it costs, as long as it's something she will wear and admire, it's all good.
Good luck with the asking dude
... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.
If she's the right girl for you she won't care if its a curtain ring or a sweetie ring

Some do. The question is... do you want by your side a woman who has a tendency to do that?
That's an excellent idea!

It depends on your budget and what you can pay cash for.
Mine ended up being $5800, but we went to purchase it together. If left up to me, I'd have probably spent $3K.

I agree.

I think you should pick an amount that is reasonable for your budget and go out WITH HER to pick it out.
She has to wear it and it won't do anyone any good if you buy an expensive ring she doesn't like!
