Karat size of engagement ring?

[dee]

Some cheap mofos in here. You ballers will drop more on a set a headers than a wedding ring for your wife?

No shit.

While I spent more than I wanted to on my first wife's ring, you might want to reconsider your budget. You don't have to break the bank, but you're not going to get anything nice for that price. Cut & Clarity > carat size. You'll also get more for your money with an odd carat size. 1 carat is going to be more expensive than 1.12 or .97, for instance. At least in my experience that held true.

This was true when I bought one. Clarity always trumps size and you will rarely find a non lab created diamond that has exceptional clarity with no imperfections when you do it is gonna outrageously expensive.

Awwee. That's a warm and fuzzy sweet story. Take notes boys!

We got married really young, a long time ago, and didn't have much money at all. New cars were the same price as some of these rings you guys are talking about. We wanted a house and other things that were more of a priority than a ring. After we were married several years, we upgraded her rings substantially. It meant more to her and it didn't take as big a bite out of our finances. If you have the means, spend away. On the other hand, if she's making a huge deal out of diamond sizes and you're financing a $10k ring, it's down hill from here.

I would suggest somewhere like Dallas Gold or jewelry exchange before a big box store.

I love mine, 2 tone with Rose gold. Plat is great but it's heavy and the metal is soft and scratches.

I would get her a Cubic Zirconia & call it a wrap!

I spent more than I should have, but she'd never had anything and I'd never been in a position to give anything. It's worth more than I paid because it's all platinum. I also got a certified center stone.

I now pay no attention to certs. If it looks good to the naked eye, I'm all over it.

For our wedding/ honeymoon, I got her a stuffed animal and put a pair of diamond studs in its ears.

Her pendant is my favorite because it's only .86ct, but it looks bigger than a lot of 1ct stones due to the cut.

all of her diamonds are princess cut because that's the fly shit
