Question by pgoulet20: Good engagement ring idea?
I want to be surprised, but I gave my soon-to-be fiance specifications on diamond quality and size ( I wanted to make sure he wouldn’t get extravagant )
But going through the prices of even the flawed, slightly colored, half carat diamonds, I thought it was a bit much. Especially knowing that I didn’t really want to wear my engagement ring all my life, just through my engagement. (I’ll wear just my band after we get married because I work with my hands a lot)
Also, we’re college students.
So I thought it would be a good idea for him to get the setting he wants to surprise me with, but instead of putting diamonds in it, he should put moissanite (sp?) stones in it, and then later after we’ve worked for a bit and have money to spend, then we could pop out the moissanite or cubic zirconia and get real diamonds
Is that reasonable? Or weird? Has anyone else done this?
wow, acedelux, I guess you just didn’t read what I typed. I’m obviously not materialistic if I want a cubic zirconium engagement ring! lol
He’s the one who wants to get me diamond because I’ve never had anything before, and he wants to give me something special. I’M the one who’s telling him not too.
also, it won’t be his money or my money after we’re married, it will be our money. We’ll have a joint account. Funny you should say something like that, considering I’ll be making a ton more than he will lol
