Congratulations on falling for the propaganda suggestion that was

?? You fellas srsly gonna wreck your girl like that?
We out here buying new whips, new bikes, and all sorts of other nice schit and eating in expensive restaurants… but you are gonna make your girl rock a peasant ring on her finger? I'm not even saying spend a fuk ton as there are plenty of ways to get legit stuff at 30-40% of retail costs, but dam for $1000 you are getting a couple of diamond chips in the ring if you are lucky. It is a one time expense fellas.

Bruh. You can do really well if you actually know what you are buying. Just fcken LMAO @ people buying diamonds with clarity and grades that you can only tell the difference under a microscope and not with the bare eye. The chain jewelry stores will show you a flawless or internally flawless compared to a poverty I2-I3 heavily occluded under a microscope to scare you into buying a more expensive stone. They are graded on their visibility under a 10x microscope . Most people could easily get a larger, less expensive stone and without a microscope you'd never be able to tell.
BRB, getting a way bigger stone for substantially less. Wife is happy, I'm happy, and I didn't get royally screwed by the jewelry company.

actually you can buy a bunch of diamond chips clustered together for $30, the diamond material itself isn't expensive.
the price of diamonds comes from them being single, big, crystals.

Life is not all about delayed gratification you know. Disaster, illness, or death can strike at any time, so it's good to enjoy your money too and not save/invest everything for a future that may never come.
Not to say you should spend irresponsibly of course. But if you can afford it then why not buy something so beautiful and meaningful for the woman you love?
Even if your woman says not to get her anything and that it's not important to her, most women would still absolutely love and cherish wearing a beautiful diamond from the man who loves her.

And loool at thinking you are getting a decent diamond with $1,000 dollars. Who cares if you can get a decent band with a grand why is that all you are willing to drop if you are buying all sorts of other expensive stuff? Is $3-4k gonna make much difference in your life as a once in a lifetime expense?

I'd have no problem with spending 2k on an engagement ring. A couple stacks isnt going to affect me and it'll make her happy.

And like I said, I was on a poverty college salary when I spent that $1400. I'm sure sometime in the future I will upgrade, but my issue is with how the whole industry works and how most people are suckers for it.

Thatโs the point. If I met a woman who had saved and invested money like me, and wanted to buy me a $10k watch as a token of her love and appreciation, Iโd tell her to absolutely not spend that money on me. And it should go towards our future family and experiences instead.

Eh, it shouldn't be about the ring. Yes, a big flashy ring can be nice to impress others, but you need to find the right partner that won't care for this. Specially if you are going to spend 5k and under.
I personally hope for my fathers wedding band with me and my future spouse's birth stone. Then down the road, have each child's birthstone added to the ring. Marriage is about building a family (IMO)
