so yeah, I dropped the question and she said yes. The biggest problem is I don't have a ring yet, so I'm on the hunt for something affordable. I told her she can get me a titanium/silver band, I could care less about the ring bullshit, but I know she's expecting something nice on her end.
any ideas? I know one of you divorced nogs have one laying around O0
also, we decided to do a budget wedding at the beach.. we are saving more money for the honey moon, which seems selfish yet reasonable.
-
Buy used.. I paid $4300 for a ring for a girl I was gonna marry.
2 years later I got about 10% for it.. jewelry markup is nuts.
either that or dig up dead bodies.
look at estate auctions , skip places in the mall.

She said yes without a ring? Your job is already done :P

Become friends with either a jeweler or a investment casting foundry guy. ;D
Pawn shops can be your friend. :yes:

Call her grandma and tell her your GF has always talked about how she wanted to use her grandmothers ring to get married with... Free.99!
-
Or don't be a cheap steamy bag of faggot and get her something she deserves. If she's good enough to marry, she is good enough to drop $5k or more on. Yes I'm married, yes I spent more than that. Yes she is certainly worth it.
-
again i would just buy some sweet car parts. then again dave im probably never getting married :noel:
-
put a condom on your finger then have her stick it in your ass
-
I don't think I could trust one enough to marry it.
-
fuck the "2 months salary" bullshit. its complete nonsense to spend a shitload on a ring. spend what you think is adequate and go somewhere nice on your honeymoon
-

candy ring pop, might as well piss her off now. you know its bound to happen.

Something she deserves? That's a terrible mindset. Most chicks already have an unfounded sense of entitlement.

Dave married a girl who was way to hot for him. He forgets the real world exists sometimes.

agreed

My wife said she didn't give a fuck if it was a paper clip bent into the shape of a ring. She said its the meaning behind the ring. On that note, I had a ring from a ex that I spent 1200 on and never gave it to her. Just sat in my safe. I traded it in and they gave me 1200 for it ::) I then spent another 2k on top of that for a ring that was on sale from 3500 down to 2000 ::) All in all it was a great deal for what I ended up with. 1ct center stone, colorless stone and a vvs1. Blah blah blah. Like said b4, if shes worth marring then shes worth dropping some coin on imo.
-
damn, now that i think of it, my wife handles the internet sales for a jewlery company. We get awesome discounts, but we are not bling bling type of people so we never get to take advantage.
You do not need to spend thousands of dollars. I know you love her and all, but 3,000 tops on your lowest rate credit card. There are better ways to spend your hard earned cash.
-
Get her what you can afford now. A few years down the road she's gonna want a nicer one anyway. Ask me how I know lol.
-
I'll sell you one...
-
thats fucking awesome

Relocating this to the thread it belongs in.

Its not like you're surprising her she already said yes. Take her with you she may surprise you, mine picked out a nice ring and when I grabbed a bigger rock with a better clarity she said the smaller one she picked looked better on her finger (cheaper hell yeah but the setting does make it shine)
Jewelry store lines of credit will give you 0 interest for x months just make sure you pay it off in that time. They usually accumulate that interest at a high rate to tack on if you don't pay it off. (Common knowledge I guess but I was clueless I always paid cash or visa for shit)
Last my sister gave me a small rock in a gold band I can see what she would want for it. dude moved away and I never used it. She doesn't want to advertise she ever had it so she wouldn't let me return it.
Good luck er congrats

Why spend 3000$ on a ring when you can get 3 CRX at that price???

Thats what I told my wife, and she said "we already have 3 crx's in our yard"
I spent way to much on my wifes ring, we went to various places and checked them out. And sure is shit she liked the most expensive one. But she got it, and she loves it.
SSautochrome needs to make sick wedding rings.

I never owned one, so be sure I'll buy 3 CRX before a 3k ring ;)
Anyway CRX worth more than 3000$ here >:(

It will be a symbol of your love, so make sure it speaks loudly of your materialism (https://realhomemadeturbo.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.realhomemadeturbo.com%2Fforum%2FSmileys%2Fclassic%2Frolleyes.gif&hash=5805137b67db00abde932177bc58b11cc93be8c2)
Seriously, if she demands an expensive ring, be ready for a financially needy spouse for the rest of your life. You might as well cut your nuts off and have them set in 24k gold.
-
i paid 5400 cash money. fuckin thing is chunky though.
-
It has been a few years since I bought it, but it seems to me I laid out north of $3k "cash money" as hotrex so literally put it.

She picked out a 4600 dollar ring, but LOVES it, and hasnt seen someone else's and bitched about hers. So Im happy that she wont want it replaced (for a while at least).
She also makes more money than I do, and supports me dumping thousands into my 1500 dollar shit box ED. We spend more on my car than anything she "demands".
-
^ keeper right there, kinda the same situation im in
-

Garanteed you got jewed at that price.

Shit, you got a sugar mama? She can buy her own damn ring. You're just a stiff dick, you better concentrate on the reasons she keeps you around, money obviously is not it...
-
My wife never demanded the most expensive, I could just tell she loved it. I may go half ass on everything else and drive a piece of shit. But her ring is something I wanted to be "Bling Bling" I think it was around 5200 after all the taxes and bullshit, I'm sure I got power retailed too. If you have good inlaws that are going to really help out on the wedding, get her a nice ring.
-
Zionism thanks you for your support.
-
Become friends with either a jeweler
I have a good relationship with my jeweler. I get all the dealz yo

my man.... plus 1 for retail rapage.
2 carats of hearts on fire niggas

If you look around you should find something for cheap. Last year I got my girlfriend a $2400 diamond ring for her birthday for under $500. Lots of jewlery companies are hurting.
-
you guys are nuts
whitey where did you find such a deal
-
i got one of those Leo stratner diamonds. i know nooen in the business and didnt want to hae loose stones from here and a setting from there and take it all to here to get it set so fuck it. went to the spot, paid for it over a few months and Done.
Ive had random people complement her ring, its cool when you go to someplace that has teh right lights and out of the 3 or 4 couples there her shit is Blingin everywhere and sparkling obviously harder than other diamonds.
yeah im sure i paid retail but i know for a fact that its a better stone than Mall diamonds. ( not that there is anything wrong with that.)
-
The sell Leo's at the podunk malls here ;D
lol you know what i ment lol.
-
...the prongs were clamped too tight and they ended up cracking the diamond to shit...
Anybody else have a tough time believing that the hardest naturally occurring substance on Earth, was cracked by what I am assuming was a gold ring using gold prongs, one of the softer metals? ???
-

Boscov's. They're like almost bankrupt and were having a 50% off sale with an additional 80% off or something like that. I was amazed at the prices. I wasn't planning on getting her a diamond ring but under $500 for 1 carot with awesome clarity was definitely worth it.
But it also shows you the crazy markup they have on jewlery :-\
-

I always knew you were a loud noises shiny objects mentality, Henry.
-
So glad I'm not planning on getting married. $5k on a ring could be spent so on something actually useful. Hookers and blow come to mind.

i dont understand why diamonds are so important, you are proud when you own a large chunk of carbon that a nigger picked out of the mud, some jew claimes it as his own, shippes it to india to have a dothead child cut it and then the jew reclaims it as his own and then sells to you for exorbitant prices?
yeah makes a lot of sense.
a 1 carat diamond is worth maybe $5
-
You can always trade up for a better lady too.
-
You can always opt to not finance your life away by taking one on... women are much like cars in that, if you go about things in a friendly way, you can get plenty of test drives without taking on the burden of the car payment.

Motherfucking wisdom.

or you can just get an older used one and pay a little cash up front.
is that how they do it at the dollar store jewelry dept

werd, diamonds are the hardest substance known to man, the most desirable substance known to women, and also the most ridiculous jew scam ever.
De Beers has warehouses full of the fuckers, they are only slightly more valuable than American paper currency which is completely and utterly worthless. Yet everyone assigns value to both for the same reasons.
Hey idiots, pull your heads out of your asses.
-
diamonds are not rare at all, just add up all the diamonds you see at wal-mart. now multiply that by the number of walmarts in the country-thats a lot of diamonds. the reason i say they are worth $5 is thats the handleing/processing fee, not the cost of the diamond which is essentially free-niggers pick them out of the dirt.

From what I understand, its also due to them controlling the amount of diamonds released onto the market. I remember someone telling me that there are enough diamonds in the world for everyone to have a cup-full. But, the ones that there are tons of aren't necessarily the nicer/more desirable ones.
I got one that's on the smaller side, but its good quality and looks noticeably better than the cheaper stuff I saw. I certainly got retailed though (celebration cut from zales...they gotta pay for all that marketing somehow lol). It sucks they are so expensive but when you look at the ones that are large and cheap and then look at the more expensive ones you can see a difference. Quality over quantity i guess. Since i cant afford a baller huge diamond of any quality she got a nicer, smaller one :-\
