I told my husband early on, white gold or platinum, and I want my diamond as bloody as possible. Then his grandma died and left him a banger of a rock. He worked with a local jeweler to design a new setting and a matching wedding band. We toast a glass of champagne on our anniversary every year to the suffering endured so I may get compliments from the other housewives at yoga class.

I've seen some people get tattoo rings. It might be hard to surprise her with that, though, unless she's a really deep sleeper. But it would obviously fit at least.

the other hand posted:Get her a cheap temporary ring, tell her that it’s a cheap temporary ring and that you can go together to pick out the real one. This is all that I exactly wanted to say! I proposed to my wife with a family ring, and told her that we would later choose a new ring. And then we also got moissanite. Moissanite is awesome, it's lab grown too, and in nature can be found in meteorites. It's shinier, and almost as hard and whatever as diamond. It has good affordable pricing for fancy rings. I'd definitely recommend moissanite.

Domus posted:My engagement ring was honest to god plastic with googly eyes. I suspected I would lose it so I got a pack of 12. My proposal was literally “We should get married the next time the anniversary of our meeting is on a Saturday.” My wedding ring is a plain titanium band that cost $80, because again I figured I would lose it. We’re going on 15 years married now. If she would seriously consider not marrying you because she doesn’t like the engagement ring, that’s your cue to end the relationship. I'm going to be wearing one of my dad's wedding rings, one of because he lost his ring one time, and went out and bought an identical one (it's just a plain gold band) before my mom found out. She found the original in a pair of old jeans he had stopped wearing a couple years later. She has the other one on a necklace, we don't know which is which. I was engagement ring shopping early last year, my fiancé and I had been talking about marriage for awhile, she had dropped hints about not wanting a diamond, and preferring opals etc. I knicked a ring she wears often when she left it on the bathroom counter, and used that to size it. Jeweler ordered a bunch of really cool big fire opals and I picked one out, then picked a simple band, and had a couple lab-made diamonds added to accent the center opal (I knew she didn't have a thing for natural diamonds). It turned out awesome, gets all kinds of ooohs and ahhhs from the friends and relatives, and was really quite inexpensive. My fiancé really appreciated that I listened to her, and put the effort in to have something made to her tastes (if she hadn't dropped mad hints I would have gone the "cheap ring for the proposal, get you what you want later" route, or asked her friends and sister about it). My plans for the proposal kept getting hosed up, so I just proposed while she was soaking in the inflatable hot tub one day. Here's the ring.

Has Three Olives kramered into the thread to explain that marriage is a cold, financial, transaction between two business partners yet? Bonus points if they've mentioned any of their recent consumer electronic/ smarthome/ appliance purchases.

I think my wife bought her own on etsy back when they sold stuff that real people made outside of sweatshops For wedding rings we got palladium rings from I don't remember where, maybe also etsy and had them engraved locally She might be like outlier-level practical though I don't know, she was also the one that really wanted a no frills courthouse wedding with our family with a party for friends afterward (no regrets at all on that after seeing what other people went through planning and executing big weddings) We didn't spend more than like $1k total on everything, but yeah to echo what the people in this thread said I feel like you should try and find out what your actual potential wife wants

There was a joke on Full House one time where Uncle Jesse is getting married and either Joey or Danny tells I think Michelle that when you get married everyone gives you toasters. Then she wants to hang out with Jesse on his wedding night and the adult like "uhh you can't, they'll be too busy counting their toasters." just very weird that Full House accurately described Three Olives' wedding and wedding night without knowing it (assuming his friends could actually afford the right toasters)

I spent 2 years researching my wife's engagement ring. In so much as 2 years before I had it, I was doing some subtle probing into elements of rings she liked. I got someone to make a band, then I bought a lab grown diamond separately to have them set it in. I didn't realize at the time but the brief I gave the designer based on what I thought my wife would like (low profile setting, very small stones around the band, minimal and contemporary details) ended up with a design that looks almost exactly like a $20k Tiffany engagement ring (although my wife's stone is slightly larger), to the point where her clients and other wealthy people have recognized it and given me major props for getting the tiff. Totally unintentional and we didn't look up what it looked like until it happened the third time. There's worse things. We don't bother correcting them with a 'no actually it's a copy and cost a tiny fraction of that' because who gives a poo poo. You got to know what she likes and break it down into elements. Lab grown is cool, you can get much, much higher quality diamonds.

Apparently they're doin this thing at jewlery stores now where you buy an engagement ring, and then you buy a wedding ring that like fits into the engagement ring, and then an anniversary ring that fits into those, later. They're just locking in dumbasses with their lovely megazord ring set.
