LOL...all good honest answers.
Now wait for the gals to come in and rip on us saying that it means nothing to them and they could take the jewels or leave them. Diamonds are like penises. Size matters.

It is a symbol of what *comfort* the male has to offer; nothing more or less.
I still don't have one and we will be married one year next month. So ya'll better believe me when I tell you that bitch will be GI-NORMOUS.

It is a nice size. Nothing crazy but very nice.

I finally found the EXACT ring I want... it is VERY BIG and incredibly unusual.
Obviously if BLING was my main priority I would never have married a man with ZERO assets. But I am neither ashamed to say that I value comfort very highly.

Let's see if this joke goes over like a lead bomb....I bet people say, " Wow, the ring is good,but the husband sucks".
My husband gave me a lil piece of crap ring when he asked me to marry him. He had NO money for something he thought I deserved. I was just happy he asked!
Year's later, he gave me a rock when I gave birth to our daughter. Funny thing is, the first ring still means soooo much more to me.
The meaning of MY ring: We embrace each other during good and bad times.

Engagement plat band with 2.3 cts. round cut, flawless in a square setting. Plain but good size. Ring is amazing if I may say so myself. I paid $23k and got it insured for $31k. It is flawless.
Wedding plat band is 7 different .5cts round diamonds in a square settings. I had it made to match the engagement ring.

Shit, I can't find the pic.... it was a Russian jeweler, as in IN Russia that my Old Grump has done business with in the past. His jewelry is quite fine and odd, you don't see that stuff on ANYONE... The setting/stone - everything was breath-taking... but with all the freaking legal fees I will probably be old and grey when I get it.
Which is OK I suppose.... as long as the *legalities* are handled I will be good to go.
I'll post up the pic when the Old Grump gets home. He can find it for me.

Most women try to create a word that others (mainly other women) would be jealous of. Like nice ring, nice house, good kids, and hub with good job. Instead of trying to find someone they love and will make them happy.
Note. This does not include the women that marry young to a loser and pop out kids. They usually go for the above for their second or third husband.

I think it's one of the dumbest things ever.
When I see a woman with a huge diamond I can only picture how high-maintanced and demanding she must be.
That's my opinion.

When my ex asked me to marry him, he borrowed money to buy me a little rock ring. It took him 6 months to pay it back. I loved that ring b/c it showed how much he really loved me. I used to tell him I would be happy with a pc of wire if it came from love.
Bigger is not always better obviously, and I'm not 100% sure why I would want a big ass rock, but I would. I guess my tastes have changed ;-)

If the day ever comes and I get one.... It has to be a good one, that he is happy with, because the thing is NEVER coming off nor will there be an upgrade. The one that you popped the question with is the one I want forever.

It was propagated by guess who... De Beers:
"The diamond engagement ring did not become the standard it is considered today until after an extensive marketing campaign by De Beers in the middle of the 20th century, which came to include one of the most famous advertising slogans of the 20th century: “A Diamond is Forever”."

That was not directed towards you.
So lets stop messing up this thread with this stuff. I said how I honestly feel thats all.
<<<<<<<<<---jon79Depends on the stuff he has already.
If he spends "X" amount of dollars for TV's nice houses and cars ALREADY and then buys you some piece of shit ring (or claims he has no money ) then thats where his priorities are at. You are obviously not important, and it will always be that way.
If he spends more money on a TV, or a second car than a ring you will wear forever....thats a problem!
And if he really does not have enough money to buy a ring, or has to put it on credit, why not wait??? People are always in a hurry to get married. Wait until he has enough money to pay for it ; a nice one ; in cash. If he cant afford a ring, maybe it wont hurt to wait? I bet money problems would suck right off the bat. There are enough things to fight about. lol.
I think the ring = sacrifice. I know a guy my SIL is seeing and is living with. No ring yet but he has motorcycles, and multiple cars. Hmmmmmm. Cant even sell one bike for a ring for that awesome girl? Guess not.

what do you mean? I think you are taking my post the wrong way. lol
I'm saying if he HAS money or STUFF (which is the case most of the time) and claims he has no money to save to buy you a ring. I'm not talking about people who honestly are down and out. I'm talking the guys who say that but have motorcycles; and keep borrowing other stuff on credit etc.

Very true. Priorites....
cindylou said:
I typically don't like to wear rings - I have a few thumb rings that I will wear but not while working. I have a lot of rings that I received as gifts from my family, they were big on investing in jewels and jewelry but even then I never wore them - I hate the way they feel around my fingers.
I have admired many beautiful rings on woman and I think wow that just looks beautiful. I am big on scale - if a ring is too small or too large on the hand it really drives me - like those people who have to pick off lint from a strangers lapel, I think jewelry, watches and sunglasses that are the wrong size for someone is very distracting.
Anywho.
I don't have one - won't agree to wear one (or a band for that matter) and I would feel guilty having my better half pay for something that would remain in a box in a safe.
That said I love jewelry, I appreciate the design and workmanship but I really don't care for wearing it.

Well I never had an engagement ring, nor did I ever have a formal proposal. We got married in my old apartment in Jersey on Halloween in costumes, immediate family and close friend - the whole thing (ncluding our sterling silver rings, which though they are unique certainly did not break the bank and my sister bought those too!) cost less than 400$... if that.
I married a man that had ZERO assets, was actually living in his office while sending me every bit of money that he had. (I would have shot him if I'd known.)
But he WANTS to get me and I WANT an EXQUISITE engagement ring. On his part, because he had spent soooooooo much for women in the past who (he claims) were far less deserving of such an elegant luxury - he wants to give me the world. On my part because I don't care about a lot of fancy jewelry that ends up in a box. However, I do want THAT ONE stunning piece. Obviously, I didn't marry my man for his money, 'cause he had none. LOL And I KNOW he didn't marry me for my ass, because NO ASS is worth all the difficulty that comes along with being in my life.
For us it is something that WE BOTH want... so as soon as we pay off all the scurge of the earth attorneys (ya'll have NO CLUE what this is costing, I still owe an UNGODLY amount and we aren't NEAR done yet) and my children are safe and sound and we have more than enough money in the bank you better believe I will have my ring... Why? BECAUSE I WANT ONE and MY HUSBAND WANTS TO GIVE ME ONE.... what is the harm in that?

I've been married twice and never received an engagement ring. My first husband did give me a 1/3 carat diamond solitare for xmas after we'd been married about 10 years, and it was a mistake. It was an inexpensive (around $300) engagement ring ... and don't think the fact that it was worth less than his video game systems exactly warmed me up, either. The man had a home and good credit, he was perfectly capable of financing a classy piece of jewlery for me.velvett said:
Second go 'round, by now I've realized I'm not really a diamond type of gal, anyway. Our wedding bands are plain titanium (not expensive and virtually indestructible, I liked the symbolism).
All big, clearly expensive rings say to me is you've got money to throw away. You don't measure love in carats. You take any 10 freshly married women, some without rings, some with tiny rings, some with the Hope diamond, and 50% of them will be divorced in a few years, anyway. Diamonds may be forever but marriage is generally a crap shoot (especially for first time out of the box 20 somethings).

So I guess then that the moral of the story is:
Any engagement ring's worth is NOT measured by the admirer, but rather, by the owner?
Works for me.

Not really as the commitment is SUPPOSED to come from within and not something that restrains you externally.
I remain faithfull not because of a choke-collar as I am married with or without the ring. I remain faithfull because I am too fucking proud to feed another man's ego by degrading MY promise. I would rather DIE than do that.
Told ya'll I am one stubborn bitch.

According to Cosmo, young girls now expect nothing less than 2c's. You can thank the cult of Paris for leading the vaccuous to expect that everyone with a vagina should be treated like a heiress.
what's funny is you could get one of those women the junkiest, low grade, shopping network quality stone on the market but so long as it was big enough for people to um and ah over it wouldnt matter.
I got my fiancee something that looks pretty on her finger, yes it was quite expensive but that was the last thing she cared about. I couldn't imagine anything worse than spending a lifetime with a woman who 'expected' expensive things to make other women jealous.
