I don't think I'd care...as long as it looks pretty on my finger..i'm fine with it.


Not to say I'll be ok if it's fake...but it's just not that big of a deal to me.

my brother-in-law & his wife agreed upon a cheapo wedding/engagement ring set "in case it didn't work out,"
then they were married over 20 years.

1. Print out about 10pages of the crummy stuff about diamonds because of DaBeers.
2. Buy a 3/4 carrot Cubic Zirconia in a nice setting.

5. After girlfriend dumps you, return ring, & start saving cash so you can afford a real diamond next time.

:D

Geez. If the girl is disappointed over the size of the ring she got, maybe you should reconsider spending the rest of your life with someone that materialistic. The fact that you tried to get her a nice ring despite your financial situation is what counts.

Just a couple final notes:

It's "carat" or "karat".

Length and girth matter, but you can't be John Holmes and not know how to use it too, Innuendo Boy :D

Ask her if it would be ok not to have a diamond so she could have a larger stone... maybe tanzinite?

Man to hot girls: "So does size really matter or not?"

Hot Girl#2: "We actually disagree on this."

Hot Girl#1: "Yeah, I like them really big."

Hot Girl#2: "And I like them enormous."

I like Stormrider threads. The responses his topics elicit are always amusing.

I would say its more of the thought that counts, as long as its gold, and good looking go for it, if she questions smile and tell her the big one comes when she says "I Do". if she loves you, she should care about the size of the dimond.

best of luck to you! :)

Oh, and carat usually refers to diamonds and stones, while karat refers to the purity of gold.

Course if she fails and calls you a cheapskate, find another woman.

I like this idea :D

Buy Diamonique, the simulated diamond from QVC. No one will ever know you're a cheap bastard!

 

My girlfriend has told me that size doesn't matter.

Size of the ring, that is.

I REALLY like this idea. Without the 6-8 months salary. A girl once told me her ring had to be at least 12k. I dumped her ass in a heartbeat.
