You are a welfare bum, thats like $10 for a ring

I think I've heard 10%-15% of one's yearly salary is common.

i have done like kevin has stated...

when we got married, i bought her a .5carat solitare, tis i could afford. that ring has since transformed into three different sets, the last bieng about 1.5 or so (and according to her, due for replacement)..the thing is, and squeak brought it up quite well....it's the meaning and truth of it that matters, not carat size..and u can always upgrade later....

btw....UPDATE?????!!?!?!?!?!??!??!?!

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

going to pick up the ring Wednesday night.

Platinum setting - cross between anniversary (main stone + one stone on either side) & solitare (single main stone).

0.92 C main stone, VS2 clarity, G color.

0.25 x 2 side stones, VS2 clarity, G color.

It's the ring that I love. She still doesnt have a clue about any of it - But I'm pretty damned sure that she'll like it.

After shopping for the 1st week, I stopped looking at prices altogether. In the end, the ring I chose was ~$7k.

Good choice, good price IMO.

Haven't seen you around in a while.

It's a great price for what it is, I got basically wholesale on the main stone ($5400 given the better thn avg color & clarity)... I talked into a deal on the plat band / setting. :thumbsup:

Ugh, been bz. To put it nicely.

Thanks.
