how large a diamond is on your wives ring?

You should spend six years' salary on her ring.

Any less, that means you don't love her.

If you have plenty money to blow go for it. If you don't just spend in you're ideal price range. If you're ideal price range is less than $1000 then you're not financially ready to get married.

1 carat. I dropped 2k on the ring and 15k on a kickass honeymoon that we enjoyed the hell out of.

But I'm not a sucker with a materialistic superficial bitch for a wife so do your thing, sir.

That's just an asinine thing to say.

Big enough so you can find that sucka when she throws it at you.

Quarter caret. I was broke as hell back then. She's never complained.

eta- she wanted a platinum setting though, so I still dropped 2 grand on it.

my wife's is pretty small

however my gf's is huge


















rings I mean

If you're getting a quality diamond in the 1.5-1.75 size it's going to set you back a good bit. If you're making a ton of money I don't think 12-15k is absolutely crazy.

I used Southern Jewelers on Johnston, they get their diamonds directly from Stuller and gave me a good price.

1.23 ct center, plus another carat of surrounding stones in the "crown"

It's gonna be hard for you to find a top quality diamond at the size you want for the price you want. I bought from Guzzardo's in Hammond -- he knows his shite.
