    Meh to each their own. I like my wife walking around with an impressive ring on her finger. It makes both our lives easier.

    A very very expensive man repellent, I think.

    This thread is heading into the direction I thought it would before I opened it.

    It's actually women repellent. Like those big expensive bags. A way for women to remind others that he's theirs.

    I did some research a few months back and the general idea of specs I thought about getting were:
    1.5 to 2ct
    G/H color
    VS1 clarity
    ideal/excellent cut.

    something like this:

    I am not sure if I should go for a diff shape than round to keep the costs down. Are those specs achievable for less than 15k? Not that I want to spend that much, but it is what it is.

    Personally, I think a carat is more than enough, given that the quality is high. Also, I wouldn't go for that many small diamonds, but that's personal taste, of course.

    1 month away from paying off the engagement/wedding rings!!! That will be a glorious day. I overpaid.

    My biggest regret: buying from the first place I went to. I took her with me and she showed me her favorite. I should have shopped around for something similar, but instead I just bought it. Laziness probably cost me a few grand.

    Does Dubins have a warranty that comes with the Ring/Diamond?

    such as cleaning polishing or replacing the diamond if chipped?

    Dude, you don't need no stinking ring. Just get her pregnant and have unwarranted children, problem solved. Let the government do the rest.

    I agree...I paid up the ass, but now Im happy that I did.

    The wedding on the other hand, waste of money.
