Rivals engagement ring guy

Yeah, she’s fine with the lab grown. We went and looked at some together and she had no issues with that part.

 

The main diamond will be Marquise. As far as the cut, color, etc. I’ll know more later today and report back.

We went together last weekend just to start the process, so I’d know mostly the look she was going for. Didn’t get into any specific details yet. I’ll be going back tonight on my own so I can start getting into some of the specifics.

 

Should pay between 1000-1900 for a lab marquis 2.00. That’s for the loose stone only.

 

That’s the range this one was in. I compared it with a couple places online (based on size only since I don’t have the other info yet) and those were like $4K so this was almost alarming at the difference not that I’m complaining.

Might increase the size a little bit since I had a dollar amount a lot bigger in my head.

 

People are still doing diamonds for engagement rings?

 

The one they had that I looked at the other day.

2.05 carats
G color
VS2 clarity

 

Try to explain to a woman you're going to marry that it's a marketing scam. Super effective.

 

or hide the fact that you got them a Lab Grown vs Natural and they find out

 

Good to know Canada produces diamonds, learn something new everyday.

 

Yep. Big supplier.

No blood on a Canadian diamond. Hard pass

 

I like my diamonds like I like my steaks - bloody and rare

 

What are the fellas spending on male wedding rings these days? And what should I be looking for

 

Wrong that was female average. My bad.

 

I'm just getting a $20 rubber one. I use my hands a lot

 

I thought I was going to be spending less than $100 but apparently that didn’t fly

 

I think my white gold one was several hundred

 

Thank you

 

You can't pick out your own ring?

 

head to toe from Costco

 

Our average engagement ring sale is 7000 and would say our average women’s band sale is 1300. Pre COVID I would say that figure was more around 6.

also I think this is pretty close to the national average. We are not special.

 

mine was about 800 I believe- it’s just plain gold

 

My white gold one was between $400-$500. I now never wear it and wear a silicone band that was like $20 all the time.

 

I’m broke

 

suckers

 

My generation got swindled on this whole natural diamond business. Wtf. They couldn't have had this lab grown breakthrough a decade earlier?

 

My wife claims it makes hers more special knowing tiny kids probably died

 

I've had 4-5 wedding bands. Bought a "nice" tungsten one first then the next ones after I lost them I just buy $15 ones in Amazon

 

Somehow haven’t lost my tungsten one yet, like it a lot because it’s impossible to scratch.

 

I asked the bff if she cared about lab grown vs natural and she couldn’t care less. And she doesn’t want a big wedding. Worth staying with for financial reasons alone.

 

You should see the shit she’s saying to her friends behind your back right now.

 

I mean I didn’t come at her with an ultimatum or anything. I just asked if she has an opinion on natural diamonds vs lab grown. And she asked what that was

 

Are you Jared himself?

 

I wore a $17 King Will tungsten ring for the first three years of my marriage. Still the most comfortable ring I own.

I bought a nice ring.

I only wear my wedding ring a few times a year. My job isn't conducive to wearing a ring and I've never gotten used to it.

 

I have a Damascus steel ring. I was about 25 lbs heavier when I got married. I wear it for date night or special occasions but it doesn’t fit really anymore. Groove silicon ring for me 90 percent is the time.

 

could've used this thread 4 years ago
re: lab diamonds

 

been married 2+ years and still have not purchased a ring. waiting on lab grown gold to really take off.

 

My original was maybe $15 from Amazon. Wore that for 5 years or so. Went rubber but it broke and I just haven't gotten a new one. Been getting hit on so much not wearing a ring.

Spoiler

 

wtf, I feel like I've missed something momentous?

 

Tobias finally said yes to me

 

How about this devine made with real dinosaur bone. Your wife won't turn down a "bone" if you got that bad boy on amirite?
