That is the stupidest rule ever. Mine was no where near that and I love it. I also contributed in ideating about it and tried to give ideas within my husbands preferred price range. It's all about communication and can be a fun process to do together.
Yeah. Did my tour on DeBeers back in the day. A diamond is a pretty amazing object. It's the oldest thing you'll ever touch. It could be older than the moon. Even the starlight can't compete with a billion years. But the marketing is even more spectacular - the "three month rule" was 100% manufactured by DeBeers to create norms for people like you. And the line "A Diamond is Forever" was created to ensure that women would know to be buried with their diamonds and not create an aftermarket to depress new stone prices. There's more diamonds in US graves than in all of South Africa today because of that line. So here you are - between the cosmic beauty of this mineral fact and all its luminous facets and a manufactured ritual that has spawned a bridal-industrial-bling industry that is actually cited as the number one cause of divorce within the first 12 months ("Divorce caused by financial hardship resulting from wedding expenditures."). So talk to each other. A ritual is important. Just take the time to make it meaningfully your own together.
Yeah, OP, I meant to ask too - you've gotten a lot of varying feedback. What's your take?
OP we are to invested in this what happened ... she say yes ?!?! What ring did you end up getting 🍿 👀
Consider white sapphire instead of a diamond? Bigger stone, basically the same durability. It is something different and unusual, but still impresses strangers. ;)
You don't need to spend that much. Do a little research, check out blogs and find interesting local jewelry designers who can make something totally unique and half the price of tiffanys
You can also talk to a small, independent jeweller and design your own ring. Thats what I did for my wife (she helped design it too) and it looks better than most of the standard ones in big name jewellers
Fuck a ring and a woman that is obsessed with its size and value. Unless of course she is a trophy wife then you are both made for each other. #trump #malania
You can find some beautiful vintage rings out there for less. More unique too
Definitely talk to her about what she wants. Or have her go work you. It might seem unromantic, but not nearly as unromantic as buying an expensive ring that she hates, or worse, she says she's not ready to get married. Even if she picks the ring, it can still be a surprise when/how you do the proposal.
Mvs1, apparently not to some chicks. And 👏 to you!
People should appreciate more that fact somebody wants to spend the rest of their life with them (allegedly:)) in today's day and age of Tinder
This is like the G. I. Joe fallacy. Named for the classic 80's awesomeness that would end every episode with a claim like, "Knowing is half the battle" Because in this case... You should have some awareness for how consent is manufactured through propaganda, but having that knowledge still fails to save you from society's designs. Ask yourself why you feel compelled to participate with this foolishness? And if you want to wear society's mask... save a shit ton of money and put a big CZ on it and call it done. None of her friends are going to put a magnifying glass on her finger.
Metal washer from Home Depot. Creative problem solving. Boom! Save the rest for a down payment on a house.
Seriously. It's a ridiculous standard created by the jewelry industry. I had no engagement ring. Been happily married for more than 15yrs.
I don't think OP could save the money, pick a ring, and propose in the 4-5 days of posting, but would be nice to hear from him on all of the above.
Don't waste your money on a ring. There are so many other ways to spend 3 month salary on - together. Just saying.
Catbird... plenty of great options and we ladies LOVE this place.
@saatchi & Saatchi 2, that's a great idea unless she gets it appraised so she can insure it and finds out it's worth $25.
Talk to her! The best thing my boyfriend did was ask me my preferences when he was ready to start looking for rings. He did not spend 3 months salary and got me the ring set of my dreams. Also, see if she has a Pinterest page 😉
Stop the insanity. Don't spend your hard earned money on a piece of compressed coal. We went with moissanite and I think it's actually nicer than most affordable diamonds and quite frankly was reasonable in cost. Now we actually have some money for a wedding and for a down payment to maybe buy a house or condo. Both mean much more to us than a polished chunk of coal.
Digitas1, I wasn't addressing you specifically, just FYI. But any woman who wants to participate in or worse demands to pick her ring. I also have no idea how a dude gets to the point of proposing and yet has no clue to the woman's style and personality and knows nothing about her diamond/no diamond, etc preference. Surely you've noticed her style of jewelry over the time you've dated and quite possibly marriage topics have occurred and "jokes" have been exchanged, etc. After all, he's proposing because he must a pretty clear indication the answer would be yes. Anyway, my guy friend proposed to his wife while they were on vacation abroad, she loved a ring a street artist was selling, almost bought it, he went later that day behind her back and bought it, proposed to her before they headed back home. Super genuine and romantic, they are both a bit of hippies and that ring worked for her and who she is. Meanwhile, my best friend didn't want one but her husband was so insistent on getting her one because he's been sold the diamond ring kool aid and he literally doesn't want to be judged for not getting his wife one. So she wears it when they go out places just to make him happy. He picked it out himself.
I completely disagree with the idea that you would essentially pick out your own gift to be asked for your hand in marriage. Seems absurd. And yeah, pressure would be on the guy to pick a ring well and it's meant to be a surprise. Otherwise, why get one? Just wear your wedding band...
That 3mo rule is a DeBeers marketing campaign. Don't fall for it.
Talk to your partner about her expectations and tastes.
