frick downvotes.

All the OT ballers around here are always talking about the LX570, Range Rover, G Wagon, BMW 7 Series, etc. they just bought their wife...and about the 5,000 sq homes they are about to build. And the CC’s they are members of, and thee watches they wear.

So, how big of an engagement ring does the OT baller buy his GF?

I’m in the market — 3, 4, 5, 6 carats? Clarity? D? VVS1? Flawless?

Guide me OT ballers. Prove yourself.

If you really think it matters, your future marriage is doomed.

At least 7 carats or you might as well buy Jody some condoms now.

Mrs. Allen rocks a 1.89 total karat weight VVS GIA certified ring in 18k white gold. She loves it.

When I got engaged 12 years ago I was 24 and made about $55k so I spent $2500 on a ring. That amount of gross salary x so many months is bullshite because my arse wasn’t going into debt for a fricking ring.

Would be the least of my worries. The fact that you got engaged at 24 is worse than going in debt $2500.

My wife's ring has a 60+ year marriage under its belt.

That means more than how big the diamond is.

Having said that, I have spent an insane amount of money on filigree repair and shank replacement

If you’re not looking at blood diamonds then you’re not financially ready.

It really depends on how the custom Platinum setting looks with the size diamond you are getting. Helping the designer custom make your setting is just as important as the diamond is.

FL grade if you want to spend the money but I would probably just say get the IF grade if you want to be frugal. Round or Marquise are the two better cuts.
