Surely you know that a diamond is forever. Make it count. No science bullshite made in a lab or a cheap imitation product. If you want, I can give you the number or Drew Brees’s jeweler. He helped the Brees family get lots of jewelry as investment in their future
I know this is a troll, but I got a lab made diamond from Brilliant Earth for $1900 for my SO and we got it appraised one day just for fun and they offered 4K for it

I can only imagine the hideous ring you picked for your wife without her input.

It’s a gift that shows whether or not you’ve been paying attention to what her preference are. If you have, you don’t need her present to pick out something she’ll love. It’s not a gift if she picks it out.
Nonsense. It isn't some sort of lame relationship test. Is she gonna pout and accuse you of not paying enough attention to her if you get the ring wrong? That's childish thinking. But even children make Christmas lists of what they want. Would you buy her a car and not let her pick out the options? Stop living in mind-reading fantasy land, simp.

I lived in Silicon Valley, so I just went to a very nice jeweler that carried all the designer brands. I liked one designer more than the others and just honed in from there. Bought her a Jeff Cooper platinum solitaire. Not a whole lot to it.

Just remember that an engagement ring should be no less than 6 months salary.
No way I’d pay 5 million for a ring

I got the diamond separate. Had it shipped to them, they gave her ring size and the diamond measurements and the designer made the setting for both.
Location I asked her at was even better...
Photos of printer photos...long before social media.

It works however you want it to work.
My parents got engaged sitting on the couch watching the Simpsons. Dad asked “so do you want to get married or what?” Mom said “sure.” Got a ring later on. Honeymoon was on a bass boat fishing, boat my dad borrowed from his friend.
They’re not complicated people but have been married 30 years

Either Plasti-dipped or made of wood

Now for wedding rings we picked out our own. I got some strange grey gold alloy with a fiberglass finish that looked like it was scratched to shite.

my bff got a carbon fiber wedding ring. i don't want to think about what that cost

I can understand why people do it, given how much pressure is put on those who are proposing. However, my ring was a complete surprise and it's absolutely perfect.
It's a diamond solitaire, and it's simple but the diamond is outstanding. It's gorgeous and I love it and it's exactly my taste. I'm glad I didn't pick it out because I don't think I would have done as good of a job, honestly.
We've been together for almost 6 years, though, so I'd like to think he knows what I like by now.

Don’t go with her to a ring store. Ask her to show you pics on pinterest or whatever of rings she likes, get her ring size, then you go shopping a jewelry stores to find one similar to the style of the ones she likes. Most girls have put a fair amount of thought and legwork in already, so use it.
It’s a shame I wasted such a perfect engagement ring on such a horrible marriage.

Most likely less than a traditional gold band
