Hey engaged/married/divorced guys: How much did you pay for and where did you get your engagement ring? Can you remember the 4 Cs of that particular ring? I'm clueless here.
 


Why, why, would you want to marry some bitch? Have other guys not taught you that it's just not a good idea?

He's right on...cut, clarity, color and carat. I got sat in a room for 15 minutes and had a mini class on this before the jeweler brought out the diamonds to look at. This was good because at least then I felt like I had an ounce of knowledge about what I was going to spend $15K on.

In California, I used Robbins Bros...awesome customer service and were not pushy.

You'll have to research rings in your town, but stay away from the malls...they have shitty quality and claim its the best with some bogus diamond certificate.
 
Let me tell you from the heart. I have been married for 8 years. I absolutely love my wife. I adore her. She is my best friend. I would not trade her for any other woman in the world. I wish I was not married. Think about it.

LMAO...only someone that is married can really see where that is coming from...
 
Just 'celebrated' 18 years. Spent $200 on engagement ring and $160 for wedding rings! Me cheap, noooo.
 
All I'm going to say is fuck diamonds. Considering that you can get a CZ, monsonie, or bloody paste, and she won't know the difference until you're divorcedand she tries to hock it, why the hell would you bother?

I think coloured stones, like a ruby, emerald or sapphire, are much nicer to look at, they can cut glass anyway, and they're not as bloody typical.

I got my missus a "jelly" opal ring from Coober Pedy... She says likes it more than diamond because the colours inside move around like a fire.
