It's like a semi investment. Plus is represent the begining of two peoples life for ever together.


What do you mean a semi investment?? i don't understand....


I agree that is something representative, but why does it have to be, like you say, minimum 1 ct.?? I think price is unrelated to representativity (sic).

Awwww, how nice! But it does depend on your girl ... Is she into the diamonds and all that?  I personally would have that money used on the honeymoon or a house ... How is that saying?


Los casados, casa quieren ... something like that 


I'm a BLUE SAPPHIRE girl! Just that would make me happy

OK,OK, my mistake, I have to explain, I would give a ring, but not a diamond ring, I would still give the rose.


  Oh boy, it's hard to give a ring, woman can blackmail us all the time with it.

This topic is funny. Back in el salvador i don't remember anybody ever having an engagement ring. Just the wedding band. I honestly could care less if i get one or not. I rather get a house

Some recent threads have got me thinking.
Some of you know that I am considering (I repeat, considering!) asking the big question soon.
I do know of the so called debeers marketing rule that a man should spend at least the equivelance of two months salary on an engagemnet ring. But does anyone ever do so?
I would prefer to put some of that money towards a honeymoon or a house but I feel compelled to abide by the De Beers rule. Am I being manipulated by a slick marketing campaign? Even if I resist, my prospective fiance may not. Although I doubt it, she may be expecting a compliance with the "rule" 
So the question is .. How much should a person spend on an engagement ring? If you find dollar values too personal you can refer to it in terms of monthly salary (i.e 1 month, two months, etc)




Well you can get her a very good/expensive one BUT state in the PRENUP

"If you leave the ring stays"

Well, good question Neruda.


I know that mine was around 4k but it was because of the clarity, color and cut of the diamond and it did not came form a fancy place. Actually, in those place I only found expensive diamond but the overall quality was bad, the price tag was just about the size. And the wedding band was very simple, which was nice.


Don't go for something to big, if is ridiculous. Does you girls like diamonds ? Maybe she does not and will prefer something else ?


I think, you should do some window shopping first and really go for something that represent the fellings you have toward her as well as her personallity.


Now, on what the girl should give back the engagement ring in case of sepration or divorce, well, I still have mine and will not give it back. La verdad puedo decir que me lo merezco, but this is because of the outcome of my mariage, every story is different. I will just have it rework and if some day I have children I will pass the stone over.
