I went to Jared because the TV told me to. Paid about 70% of what it appraised for (not that that means anything as it is only for insurance purposes)

The ring doesn't matter...it's how you propose. Try this...throw a corpse, dressed like you, off of the roof. It hits the ground, its head pops off...this leads to you saying the line, "I lost my head when I fell in love with you".

















...sticking with The Office proposal theme...it's a sure-fire winner

Probably will be doing this in the next 6 months and pay way too much.

I got the stone from a diamond dealer friend of my parents and the setting was made by a jeweler in Lafayette our of platinum and yellow gold. It cost a lot.

Bought ours in 1992, no online and I knew fewer people with connections then. Got it at Lee Michaels, $3500. Have no clue what it is worth now.

Yes I did. I went to Jared before their commercial.
They have an 82 facet diamond which really causes the diamond to pop with sparkles.
Most diamonds are 54 facets. Some Jared Stores do not have the 82 facet diamonds, so you have to ask them.
Orlando, Las Vegas, and one in Houston have them.
The 1 carat goes for about $10k. You son't need on larger than 1 carat.
Let your eyes decide.
The Heart of Fire is 54 facets, and the 82 facet had more sparkle when I looked at it.

Did y’all ask her for preferences before you bought? I have a feeling this is coming down the pipe. I don’t want to discourage him from surprises, but I’m a little concerned he will pick something that isn’t particularly my style.

My ex never proposed, and I picked my own ring. I need to find some sort of middle ground.

Local jeweler 6k- paid it over 6 months bc it was interest free. I never try to spend cash money on my wife. Don’t want her to know how much I have.

1.5 Ct moissanite from moissaniteco.com. Got the hearts and arrow cut so it looks exactly like a diamond. Only diff it's slightly more radiant, which I don't think is a negative. I wanna say I paid 650 for it. Got the band from a local jewelry store for 2700. So ~3300 said and done. Band has 1 ct worth of diamonds.

I told her I'd never buy a diamond and I didn't and she fricking loves it. And there ain't a single person that can tell the difference. She gets so many compliments like "Whoa! He's a keeper! He did great! That thing is huge!" They all eat it up and I gladly tell them it's not a diamond with my big shite eating grin
