I told a girl once that I'd buy her the biggest ring I could afford, and that it would be HUGE! No lie.
She fell in love with me.
I gave her a ring pop.
She broke up with me.
I thought I did well.
Just get something you feel that she'd love when you make it your guys' moment. It's all about the whole package and do it up right. You know her best, so you'll know what suits her fancy within your price range. If you feel you don't know yet...maybe you're not ready yet then as well? Hmmm?
I think the "right" ring (or a ring at all) and the "right" price are going to depend on the woman in question. If my now-husband had spent three months' salary on a diamond ring for me, I would have either a) strangled him or b) had serious doubts about marrying someone who would blow three months' salary on a piece of jewelry.
But that's just me. I do not like diamonds, I do not wear much jewelry, and I expect my partner to be prudent when it comes to money. My ring is an opal, it cost less than $500, and I rarely wear it. :-)
Yay. Nice post. If I had spent much money on a ring, my wife would have been like "WTF is the matter with you? You could have easily bought me a kick ass kayak with that money."

5000 is more than fine. Hell, I only spent around 1200 on mine, however, it was my fiancees decision. She didnt want too much cause she is cheap. I bought her a platinum engagement ring with a large saphire surrounded by diamonds........blood diamonds.
She picked it out. I am going to spend more on the wedding band though.

thanks and why don't you just kick me in the nuts while you're at it!
I'm lost on this Steve ..platinum is nice no?i I was just saying that the 3 month salary thing is bullshit in my opinion..but I'd gladly kick you in them nuts no problem ..

Platinum is very expensive. I would settle for white gold. The only request I would have is no yellow gold...I really think it detracts from the diamonds.
These cuts are leaving creases. Trace the scars to fit the pieces, to tell the story, you don't need to say a word.
It's funny because the night prior to proposing to my girl, we watched 'Blood Diamond,' and she said things like 'oh man, I wouldn't want a blood diamond.' I freaked, called my sister and she calmed me down saying that it wouldn't matter in the least and that she'll love it..She was right ..We laugh about the story now..
that's true. It's something I never thought about before seeing that film... but then I decided I wouldn't want one... but then I thought I wouldn't say no if somebody gave me one anyway ahhh... sooooooooo fickle!

Definitely a good idea..and I personally would never think about proposing to a woman who is more interested in the damn ring than our future ..

EXACTLY! Plus, I'm not just a fan of yellow gold (for me-I like it on other people).

I'm trying to unload a princess cut diamond enguagement ring. I paid about $3400 for it...now she's banging some rich asshole because he makes more money than me, and i'm stuck with this stupid rock. All my friends warned me she was bad...I should've listened.
Man, I could've got an awesome rid-on lawnmower, a Les Paul, seven playstation 3's, 789 six-packs of Pabst blue ribbon, six new surfboards and a kayak, a Ms Pac-man coctail table arcade game...I hate putting it in perspective, sorry.
You girls are on the same page regarding white gold as my wife..and I did not want to wear a yellow gold band!! My sis recommended the white/silver as it would look nice with her Colombian/Latin skin tone..

I like silver a lot so maybe that's why I favor white gold.
Silver is my fav color..my white gold wedding band looks silver to me..what the hell is the difference?

Same here!!!!!! All of my jewelry (cheapy stuff, I don't own anything "nice") is either black or silver.
P.S. On a sidenote...I've read alot about Sierra Leone and the diamond industry. Even though diamonds may promise not to be "conflict" diamonds, you can never be sure!

It's good with certain stones..like ruby or garnet..but with diamonds..nothing set's it off like white gold or platinum.
