engagement rings?

May 26, 2008 by Michelle | Posted in Weddings

hi! my boyfriend and i are planning on looking for engagement rings soon and we kind of have no idea what we're looking for. how much is the ring supposed to cost/how big is the diamond supposed to be? most people say it's supposed to be proportional but i'm not sure what that means. i'm 5'4 and almost 120 pounds if that helps lol. thanks!

Don't even bother about what people say. Go with what you like. That is all that matters. I would advise that you go online, and look up engagement ring pictures to firstly get an idea of what you like the look of. Then go to your boyfriend to get an idea of price ideas. Just really roughly. Then go to lots of different shops and don't be afraid to try on different styles then what you like. The style that I liked looked horrible on me, so then I tried on all these other styles and fell in love with one I had previously hated! lf that makes sense lol. Just try on heaps, and get an idea of what you like then you can round it down. Oh I'll tell you what I wished I had done, when you go ring shopping bring a little notebook, pen and a digital camera. Write down all the ones you like in the shop, including the name of the ring, the name of the shop, price and the shop phone number and then take a photo of it. After half an hour they all start to look really similar and you forget which ring was where. This is what I wish I had done. Good luck and CONGRATULATIONS! :-)

I barely ever wear jewelry and we have to go shopping for engagement rings. I know style is different from one person to another. But what are the popular cuts/styles these days? What about platinum vs white gold for the band? Would love some feedback..:) thanks

platinum is much more expensive & it doesn't wear as well as white gold...it scratches easier & isn't as durable...classic round cut is always in style & it shines the most...princess cut is "in" right now...make sure it feels somewhat tight...you should be able to get it off by wiggling the ring up & down...it may feel tight at first but you'll get use to it...you don't want one that is loose because you could lose it! the color is more important than the clarity...you cannot notice imperfections in the diamond with the naked eye but you can notice a yellower diamond compared to a colorless or near colorless...do not purchase a ring from a store in the mall!! they sell the lower quality diamonds that other jewelry stores will not sell & they jack the price up & put them "on sale" so you think you're getting a good deal but you're really not... go someplace that offers no haggle pricing

ARE MEN SUPPOSED TO BE GIVEN ENGAGEMENT RINGS OR ARE THEY FOR WOMEN ONLY?

Men don't typically get one, but some do.

I got my fiance an engagement ring:

It's titanium with a tension-set sapphire chip. I figured it would be nice if we both had a symbol :)

I wish more people would consider the roles of men and women in a relationship as equal. It bothers me how some people are very against women proposing. My fiance and I sort of pretty much decided we were going to get married, and I think we just did the formal proposal for the sake of it. Sorry for the ramble!
