They go on the left hand. Men don’t wear them.

That’s all I got

Where are you located?

Patrick’s in St. Francisville has a sale in August, iirc it’s 40% off diamond jewelry

Save up a pile of money, blow it all on hookers and blow, tell the gal $350 all you got.

If she wants to still marry you with a $350 ring she is a keeper

Pay in cash. Lab grown diamonds are worthless once they leave the store. If that means anything

Find a contact for a diamond wholesaler in ATL or another large city. You’ll get a retail 10K diamond for 4K.

If you decide to go natural diamond (vs lab grown), go to Pricescope.com and read up. Lots of good info there.

Try and find out what she’d like and go from there. Ask her friends or something.

You’re not doing yourself any favors asking around here.

Do yourself a favor and save some money by getting Moissanite. No one will know the difference. I think I paid $3500 for my wife’s ring bc the setting had small diamonds but the center stone is 1.5 carats (~$600 if I recall). Women afterwards were blown away and were like jeez how much did you spend?? I gladly told each of them it wasn’t a diamond and they were all shocked. So don’t let the hype and tradition get the best of you. Your wallet will thank you and your wife won’t care about the ring much later on. And if she overvalues that sort of thing then you’re already in trouble

I have heard that. Jeweler said natural diamond can be sold back at a good price. Lab grown won’t be able to be sold later. But way cheaper to the point where it’s worth and I’m not really looking to sell it later on… that will hopefully not be an issue or matter in the future.

I know that they cost a shite ton more than what ever you think you're paying for them. And they lead to wedding cake, which has been clinically proven to end BJs indefinitely.

They come before the wedding ring and the suffering.
