@Phillip: You bring up a good point, but sound pretty grumpy and accusatory about it.

Maybe your girlfriend doesn’t want a ring, whether for financial practicality or reasons of equality—but I assume if you were on a marriage track you would know that already. Marriage is a two-way street (if you marry the right person), so perhaps the tokens of love and commitment should be also?

“Make It a Surprise” Yes, there is something to that but shopping for the ring is more romantic. Remember, she will be the one wearing the engagement ring. Unless you know her taste in jewelry/engagement ring, let her pick out the ring. If you want the “surprise” of proposing to her with a ring, do so with a stand in ring. Is the surprise the proposal or the ring? Just asking.

The lure of a diamond engagement ring was started a few years back and still has not left lovers everywhere. It’s not so bad as with the internet you can find excellent quality diamonds and engagement rings at http://www.novori.com ( novori.com ) at great prices. Novori Jewelry has thousands of diamonds and hundreds of rings. If you are ready to take the plunge, check it out first.

Great article! Right in line with my dad’s fatherly advice but it was nice to read more in depth. Thanks for the tips on how to use my 007 skills to find the ring size… I’ll have to work on that.

Here is a website I found where you can set parameters for “The Four C’s” and get an estimated price all in an easy to use chart. After I found out what I was looking for it helped me get a general idea of how much money I need to start saving!

So the engagement ring IS the wedding ring? You don’t buy TWO rings, one for engagement and one as the wedding ring? I really want to know. Or is it an optional thing? Is there supposed to be a “band” that goes along WITH the ring and the jeweler attaches the two? PLEASE, please, please help me!!!!
