in all seriousness the rings are probably one of the first big purchases you make as a couple on the way to marriage. if you can't see eye to eye on your financial expectations for this scenario i wouldn't anticipate more important things getting any better or easier :manny:

I been looking for a diamond for the past 3 months..its all the same..people claim that they can get a better deal and its all the same bs to me once I look at the specifics.
Yeah you have to find the right/good broker. You may even want to do a little research on how to determine the best value...clarity and all that other stuff. High-end pawn shops or estate sales are other good places to get rings for cheap. You're going to get got if you go to a jewelry store so sometimes it's worth the extra effort.

I was kidding breh I agree.

Its all marketing like blvdbrawler said. Every girl wants to show off that rock to her friends, the more you spend or the bigger the diamond "shoes how much you really care about her"

Like why can't you be happy with some sterlingsilver ring or asomething.

Hell I spent 5k on a engagement ring back in 05 :scusthov:

I been doing crazy research...I been looking at places like that as well...I been putting out so much effort contacting people in other states, speaking to many different brokers like you said, jewelry exchanges in nyc, miami, all over south florida..clarity and color ave been most import to me and once you get into the really clear rings there is no deal..all the deals I see are on some regular jewelry store clouded diamonds.

Well I hope you find something soon. The process does seem easier on paper. When did you plan on proposing?
