Just remember, this is THE RING she'll wear forever. My wife is one of the least materialistic people I have ever met, but going big on the diamond was one of the smartest things I've ever done.

Don't get wrapped up in the cost, just do it for her. These rings are a ridiculous source of pride for them.

Anyone ever bought from Diamonds Direct? If so do you feel you got a good deal?

When I actually price compared with other jewelers for similar rings they were way higher. Like 1-2K. Figured the ads were sales bullshit, but I didn't realize they would be that much higher..

My wife was a jeweler years ago and her main concern for her ring was clarity.

I got her a smaller diamond but with the best clarity possible and she loves it.

I think it's more about what she wants than what a commercial or another person thinks is the right size/amount of $$ to spend.

I'd worry more about how it looks on her over the price etc. When I got engaged to my current wife, I told her the sky was the limit. We looked at some pretty fantastic rings, but in the end, we got one that really wasn't that expensive but fit her hand and her active lifestyle. She loves it and even though I've offered her much bigger ones since, she's happy with it. I did buy her a fantastic 10 year band though.

I'm looking for a diamond around $3,800 and platinum band for about $1,600. I found a very good place, interest free for a year in Minneapolis. My brother in law got my sister ring there. I will take a trip up to Minneapolis in a month or so.

Rather than start a whole new thread on the subject, I thought I'd ask this here: What the hell is a promise ring?

It's a ring that indicates you intend to marry someone some day. How is that different than an engagement ring? Don't people get engaged and not get married for several years already?

And isn't that an awkward conversation?

"I want to give you this ring!"

"YES!!! I will marry you!"

"Whoa! Wait a minutes honey. This is a promise ring. Not an engagement ring."

"So what does that mean?"

"It means I want to be with you for a long time."

"And marry me?"

"Eh...maaaaaybe. It's like I want to be with you, but I don't want to pigeon hole myself into the whole marriage thing."

"So you don't want to marry me?"

"I wouldn't say that. Odds are, I will marry you...eventually. But I'm not sure I want to guarantee that yet."

"So this isn't really a promise, it's just a ring."

"Damn nice one too! Got it at Wal Mart."

My sober suggestion. Worry more about color than anything else.

I say color, cut, clarity are the key.........karat size is not as important. You can get a women less than 1 karat and it be a lot nicer ring than some that are over 1 karat. Chicks want a ring that looks good.....a good cut goes a long way.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
