engagement ring discussion

[Krissy In PA]

I look at the engagement rings in the ads and such.. Most of them look over-done and gawdy to me. I would prefer something simple. I guess it really depends on the girl, though. Take her style into consideration, but do your own thing. It's supposed to be a surprise deal, right?

(UNLESS, you some fuckin baller who can walk her into a jewelry store and have her take her pick... I can't remember what movie that was)

yeah i dont want gawdy just different

Have you considered a single solitaire like Joe wants that will integrate into a locked set when you get married? You'll be wearing both then. That sounds like the best compromise

let me get this straight, you were looking at engagement rings and dragged joe along, but he doesnt like the ring you picked out. Hmmmm.....might be a sign?

:j/k:

no no......I think your on to something! :roflmao:

joe is not going anywhere and he already told me we will eventually be married.....so whatever....lol.....

i say that to all the girls so they will continue to sleep with me

ok so so far u guys r not helping......my argument is that i do not want somee boring single stone solitaire that everyone else has,....i want it to reflect me and my great sense of style.....i do agree that it should be a surprise but i want to b surprised w something i like, besides joe has completely different taste than me....and yes u will al be invited when it happens

Well, pick out your fave cut in stone . Your preferred metal (I prefer sterling over gold, so I'd go white gold or platinum). Maybe find images of rings and point out what you like, then he has something to work with.

My biggest issue with the rings she likes is that they have so much going on around the diamond that it takes away from the diamond and to me makes the ring look cheap. Most of the rings she likes haven't had certified diamonds in them either so if I'm going to spend the money I want the little piece of paper that says I spent it on something that was worth the price.

am i wrong for wanting something different, and not boring?
