Why not just get her an engagement ring with a different stone than a diamond then?


I've seen some gorgeous engagement rings with alternative center stones.

I'll get my SO a ring and band like everyone else but won't spend half of what the average person does


there is no way the average person spends $6k on an engagement ring

just FYI

You call it a wedding band, I'll call it a marriage band. As far as I'm concerned that part of the ceremony can be eliminated

LOL Jews made up the diamond ring bit in the 1940s to justify the debeers African diamond mines and your dumb bitch has bought hook line and sinker into the nonsense that a dirty imperfect piece of carbon is worth 2 months of your salary.

Next thing you know you'll willingly chop off your baby boys penis because Jewish mystics said to.

Enjoy the matrix

Most married women I know wear both daily, many of them have both bands soldered together like I mentioned earlier. I mean...I don't wear mine when I'm working out, sleeping, cleaning, hiking, or showering though...but otherwise than that it's on my finger.

Be sure you don't ask a man how to do this. My FIL gave me advice and I've not lived it down for 10 years.

I have none yet. Like I said I'm not close to proposing so I haven't even begun to look. I just want guys to stop feeling like they need to shell out thousands of dollars for a stupid ring

It's OK for you to be jealous Breesus. I won't hold it against you.

I don't think there really is a right or wrong way with that tbh. Just meant wearing both isn't that unusual.


I do have a small, plain tungsten band that I've worn when traveling to places where I don't want to be flashy(Mexico, etc). I've also worn it on camping trips cause I didn't want to mess up my wedding set.

I will spend no more than 2k. That price may fall or rise as I get closer to proposing and see everything in person. I honestly don't know how far my dollar goes when it comes to purchasing this stuff. I don't expect to get much for what I want to spend but I'm stubborn when it comes to my feelings about this so I'll likely bite the bullet and stick to my budget.

My wedding and engagement ring are soldered together. But they sit really low because I knew I would be wearing it to work. Also...it's a more dainty setting and isn't some massive rock...so it doesn't come off as vulgar to my patients.

Majority of the married nurses I've known and worked with wear their complete wedding set. Very few just wear the wedding band.


My wife has a decent sized stone in a solitaire setting that sticks outwards and her actual wedding band has diamonds around the entire thing. At first she just wore the diamond wedding band, but the first week a stone fell out from her gloves she thinks. We ordered a cheap silver band off Amazon and she wears that at work now.

Whatever works though. To each their own.

Holy frick the OT has gone to complete shite

Don't reproduce


Why all the haters? Because someone out there is smarter than to fall into the DeBeers diamond trap and their spouse tends to share this same feeling? If you think that diamond means anything you're the one that shouldn't reproduce. Cheers to you OP! Don't let a worthless rock determine your love for your spouse. Don't fall into the same trap that soooo many men wish they hadn't fallen into. That diamond doesn't mean a damn thing. It's symbolic of vanity and not of love. Do what makes you and your spouse happy and don't let anyone on this board give you shite about it.

I'd just like to know in general what you're talking about

But unless you're marrying someone very materialistic, she should be able to shop within your budget. You just come across as very bitter

I could certainly pick one out at Harry Winston. But I'd also wear this one. And could pick out an even cheaper one. But if you won't even spend a week's salary on something your wife will wear everyday for the rest of her life (except salmon and his hipster friends), I just don't know
