that's a great looking ring for a good price. I'm sure she'll like it OP. Personally, I don't know if I'd get married in this day and age, but I don't have a redpilled gf for 6 yrs. Good luck

>not buying her a leather collar and telling her she's your bitch for life now
cringe and bluepilled

>>25304863
Good luck, I truly wish you two the best. We need more large White BASED nuclear families.
Just a reminder

Take it from me. The stone does not matter. Nothing about the stone will appreciate in value unless it's over 1C

Just buy her whatever you think looks cool that is made of gold and will make her happy. Best of luck anon

>>25304863
My fiance and I literally went to a jewelry place together and she picked the ring she "fell in love with" and I bought it that day. It was 3k. I dont mind at all the price because she's worth it and she doesn't ask for much ever. I know we may not be the norm but i can't imagine buying a ring for a grand or more and she not love it.

I think its a great looking ring, op. But I'm not a woman so who the fuck knows. Best of luck. I never get nervous and I was shaking the night I proposed. Like total fear. It was very odd as I knew she was going to say yes.

You should be researching prenups, not rings. Get whichever ring is cheapest while still being passable. That part's a nonissue.

>>25305275
Let me ask you, since you seem like a reasonable guy- Why did you decide to get married, knowing all the risks that come with it? Did you think she'd leave you if you didn't end up proposing? I plan to just stay in a monogramous relationship with no kids, but never get married.

>>25304863
1300? Dude she’s not gonna be happy about that. Min spend is 5-6k. If you can’t do you really want to go down this road

if things are working, don't ruin it by getting married.
inviting the government into your relationship has no upside for you, only downsides.

if your grill is really based and redpill, she'll undestand why you won't enter into a contract that's expensive and dificult to get out of.

better yet, have her get on the dole, rent property from you, and then the state can pay for your white babies.

marriage is literally the worst financial decision a man could EVER make

I don't like it but I'm not trying to be rude it just looks a little bulky to me.

If u spend that much on a ring to get married then you're obviously not in love you're a wannabe cucked sugar daddy in training. Any sensible woman would see the value of that money in more important ways to better your life together if she truly cares.

wise words anons

>>25304863
Congrats buddy, I just proposed a couple of days ago on Xmas. Spent a lot of time in the jewelry store.

Consider getting a lab-grown diamond online. Huge savings to be had there. Look for something with a VVS1 or VVS2 clarity and a color of G or higher. That's the only way you will get something impressive looking. A great 0.5ct diamond will blow that 0.8ct one out of the water.

Also try to find a brilliant cut diamond. Nothing looks nearly as good as far as the amount of sparkle.

Good luck bro. Happy to answer any questions.

>>25304863
Congrats, brother. I just proposed to my gf of 6 (almost 7) years last week. It's an exciting time.

I ended up spending $4K (CAD) on a proper diamond ring because I didn't like the idea of buying a fake "diamond" made in a lab. I got something mined in Africa because I've spent my entire life on 4chan and that seemed about right.

The whole jewelry jew is a big scam - I've done my research. I even made a couple of threads on here a little while ago too. I bought something from a decently high end store because they have a lifetime arrangement where if you ever trade something in, they will give you 100% of the value of your original purchase and interest.

So if 10 years from now my girl and I decide to trade her engagement ring in for some fancy watch, we could (theoretically) get 100% of the money back and end up with something that sells for more than we bought it for (e.g. a nice Rolex on the grey market). I would imagine the likelihood of my woman (or any woman) parting ways with her engagement ring is 0% but still, it's a nice thought to have in the background.

What do you want to know? I'm not an expert but I did autistically research all of this recently.

>>25305702
Also bitches love solitaire diamonds on their engagement rings, go that route and she can get some extra small diamonds in her wedding band. This is a nearly universal truth unless your girl specifically said to do otherwise.

>>25305823
Sup fellow recently engaged leaf?
I personally agree with you on the lab grown diamonds, luckily a local jeweler happens to be going out of business and I got a $4500 ring for 60 cents on the dollar. But for anyone that doesn't happen to have cheap natural stones available locally, I'd absolutely recommend the lab-grown route. She'll never know. We only value natural ones more highly because of debeers propaganda.

>>25304863
I wish you the best, anon. It's a pretty ring. The answer depends on if she has shitty money-obsessed friends or not.
Regardless, generally defer to the old adage of 2 months salary on a ring. It sounds kike-ish, but, it's also a symbolic gesture that you are willing to invest time, money, and effort into the mother of your children.

>>25305275
>shaking when doing something permanently life-altering, even when it's positive
This isn't "odd" anon. It happens if you're not some sociopathic gigachad.

>>25304863
Why don't you get her a plain band now and then continually add stones and improve its value with every milestone in your marriage? Save your money for crypto and it'll make your ring more impactful and personal.

That's my plan in the alternate universe I get a wife.

>>25306025
Congrats to you too my leaf brother. It's a cozy time, isn't it? I hope you two were able to celebrate with your families despite the """rules""".

>>25305871
>Also bitches love solitaire diamonds on their engagement rings
I wholeheartedly agree with this. Keep it simple. She's a girl, she wants a fairytale ring. Always go with a solitaire IMO, whether you go lab grown or mined.

If your girl is ethnic there may be exceptions to this rule. I see some Chinese girls LOVING the complicated jewelry but I'd personally go with a solitaire no matter what.

i bought my fiance a $5k ring. its 1 carat and imo looks expensive. think it was a good move - we live in a dumb material society and ppl occasionally treat her better. friends wives say their 1-2k moissanite rings are "fine enough" and "ethical" but i can see how they compare themselves to my fiance or w/e and they seethe

>>25304863
>t. Down 50% on the day

Ya blew it op

>>25304863
Congrats kid goodluck, that ring looks alright

>>25306272
>It's a cozy time, isn't it?
Never been so comfy. You guys waiting until the govt decides to stop being fags so you can have a normal wedding? We're aiming for 2022.

>>25304863
>moissanite rings because fuck the diamond jew
Retarded. Just buy the diamond online from Blue Nile anon. Just go down a size smaller, e.g. just below half a carat, in total you'll spend maybe 1 to 1.5K USD.

>>25306374
>Never been so comfy. You guys waiting until the govt decides to stop being fags so you can have a normal wedding? We're aiming for 2022.
100%. I'm not having some mask cuck wedding with 5 people present. I'm thinking 2022 is a realistic bet as well. Honestly it's kind of nice too because it means I can focus on everything else for a while longer.

>>25306377
Also get a solitaire setting. The abominiation you posted is in poor taste, you can for a more complicated arrangement for the wedding band instead.

Just a reminder that this stat includes those who have divorced previously who have an incredibly higher rate of divorcing again. Don't despair about marriage, especially if you aren't like the other normies who can handle bantz on a place like here

>>25306568
Based. The extra year is a blessing. I've tasked my girl to accumulate wedding shit for pennies on the dollar from married broads on Facebook marketplace. Those savings pay for the open bar. Crypto gains easily pay for the wedding. What a time to be alive.

Imagine buying literal costume jewelry as an engagement ring

>>25307313
She loves the ring. We saved the money and bought a house, you know to raise our kids in and all.

>>25304863
Buy whatever you think she’ll like because it won’t be an investment in your life time.

Like any luxury goods like limited-edition vehicles, watches, fine art, it’s mostly used for liquidation and moving coin around as brands like Rolex, Patek at the Bare minimum don’t lose their value.

Only way to make money in stones/gems is to buy pre-own brands like Graff or Cartier then get it cleaned/polished for on sale on the secondary market which is a nightmare.

>Tl;dr if you want to make money in luxury items you need to bring big money to start with

>>25307381
That I can respect. You have a less expensive woman than I do, an enviable trait in a partner that I mildly seethed over. WAGMI. Cheers buddy.

>>25307313
but sir Muh lampenite is rare according to the home shopping network it’s 5000$ a carat

>>25307542
Nice work on the lab-grown diamond btw

>>25307415
Technically any well-cut colorless diamonds with at least VVS1 clarity over 1ct is considered investment-grade. But you're paying out the ass for that.

>>25307624
I mean that unironically, always good to see cracks in the cartel

>>25307624
>>25307640
I actually bought natural, but ONLY because I had a local jeweler that got btfo by covid and is liquidating at 40% off. In any other case, I'd have gone lab grown, as that gets you a bit closer to 50c on the dollar.

shit came back thanks for all the replies anons
>>25305871
didn’t even know what a solitaire diamond is desu. all this shit reeks of matzah and never gave it the time of day in my life. i’ll look into that
>>25305702
thanks for the advice anon. i’ll look into those as well
>>25305823
hey thanks. honestly i’m just looking for something in rose gold that would be the best bang for the buck i suppose. $1200 is about my limit because any more than that seems like a waste. she isn’t the type to really flaunt shit which is something i like about her

>>25304863
Engagement rings are retarded as women stop wearing them once they’re married. Instead, I spent some money on a nice eternity ring from Cartier for my wife (enough diamond to satisfy her desire for shiny things but understated enough for every day wear as a marriage ring). The ring was also secondhand but zero signs of wear so it cost about a third of retail. I also like the idea that some chump bought the high on the ring, got stopped out, and now I got to scoop it up at the lows.

Let me guess, both of your parents went to art school and so did you

>>25307909
what is the difference between an engagement ring and a wedding ring?
i thought you just bought a ring and that’s that
what kind of jewish tricks is this where you have to buy a ring twice?

>>25308016
You didn't hear? You are supposed to spend 2 months salary on a ring for your woman to show off to friends for 3-6 months until you get married. Then at the actual wedding you exchange rings and she puts the diamond in the drawer. Never sell! That would create supply and the price would drop, and the false scarcity of diamonds would be exposed.

A good consoomer will be buried with their diamonds.

>>25304863
You should only buy jewelry if:
>You make it yourself
>It's investment jewelry (like rolexes or mene)
>You can buy it for less than the value of the metal.
Get a ring through one of these three avenues or you'll end up wasting a ton if money.

>>25308016
Wedding bands are Christian tricks. Diamond engagement rings are Jewish tricks.

Your lot in life as a man at this point in human history is to find a woman who will pump out good offspring and find a job that you enjoy so you can support them and buy crypto until you Freedom 55 with your BTC gains.

>>25308016
>>25308061

As this anon explained.
The usual normie route is to spend a lot on an engagement ring (the one with a large stone) that she only wears till the ceremony at which point she swaps it out for the marriage ring, typically something duller like a plain band of some precious metal (the man gets his band at this time as well). Diamond rings in particular and buying it twice are (((tricks))) but precious rings to demonstrate to the world that a woman’s taken is very Lindy so don’t think you should feel too bad about that.

Only smart strategy. Same. Anything else is eventual suicide.

Omg why

Marriage is literally cuckolding contract

Literally all women cheat in the age of tinder

JUST WHY

Are you lazy or soft? Do you want to have some constant security or finiteness out of your life/relationship? It’s a fallacy, women constantly think about sex with other men after some time

>>25307900
a solitaire is a ring with one, prominent diamond. not a bunch of small diamonds, etc.

why are you going for something in rose gold, if I may ask? In case you don't know, it's an unusual pick for an engagement ring and it might be limiting your choices. white gold is the modern standard, yellow gold is the old standard. I like rose gold myself but I think you might be better off looking at white or yellow bands.

$1200 is definitely enough to get you something nice for your girl. At that price range I'd probably go with a lab grown diamond.

Remember, she's not going to give a fuck about any of the finer details. She's just going to be delighted that it's coming from you.
