We customized it to include my fav color. $5k after taxes for lab diamond and it’s beautiful!

$6,000. Lab grown 3 carat solitaire and 18K gold band. Haven’t given it to her yet but I’m super happy with both the value and the ring itself.

E color, VS1, excellent cut. Went to a place called RockHer. No complaints whatsoever.

6k lab diamond

it would’ve been less but i have a very intricate band as well

Imagine spending so much on a rock, wife loves and gets constant compliments on her 3k moissanite ring and we took the savings on the ring and put it straight to the honeymoon. An extra 2 weeks in paradise > a slightly shinier and harder rock from the ground

Imagine other people valuing things differently! Absolutely lovely that your wife loves her engagement ring but please don’t use it as an opportunity to look down on those who want diamonds, both points of view are valid.

~13k back in 2015. 1.4ct stone with sapphire halo.

like

I spent 7k on a 1.8 carat center stone with .75 carat of stone around it. Insurance appraisal is 12k

like

I think $6,500 for a 1.8ct single stone on a knife edge setting. (Screaming deal as my sister was dating the jeweler. Retail on the stone was $12,000.)

Hot take with how this thread is heading - I've never understood the appeal of lab grown or moissanite. They're the same as a Cubic Zirconia stone IMHO.

It's amazing that your buddy is a wholesale retailer and your sister is dating a diamond merchant/jeweler. We might know each other with your links to the industry

I have never even heard of lab diamonds (was married 15 years ago). Going to have to do a little research!

it’s been described to be as babies made via IVF, the actual making of them is different but the end result is the same

$8k for a 2.3 lab diamond! She loves it haha

20k

10k, diamond district nyc

I think my husband spent $3k on mine, natural diamonds. I love it but am ready for an upgrade in the size of the center stone. It's just under 1 carat and I'd like at least 1.5

3 years salary

I’m a senior planner leading one brand and there’s a new strategist on the team working on a sister brand. They’ve been asking for every strategy deck I’ve made on that brand as an example to go by to inform the thinking/flow on the sister brand. Also because I mentioned it went well with client when they ask. All for sharing thinking w/ the team & I know we feel imposter syndrome to varying degrees, but I also feel like it’s good for planners to find their own voice/style/flow. Thoughts?

Ugh I wanted to take my son to see a UFC match in person. Just so happens there is one in November at Madison Square Garden - great right! I knew the tickets would be expensive, was willing to pay $400 to $500 a ticket as long as they were decent. The cheapest ticket in the whole arena, basically top row so you can’t see crap, is $506 before you start with the fees!!! Am I wrong or is that just bananas???? Oh well, pay per view it is, maybe have some friends over. Just complaining… happy Friday!
