I don't have a materialistic bone in my body, and that's the truth, so I definitely don't need one. But because it's an such a huge part of culture have a fun time trying to explain why you're engaged and don't have a ring frustrated

I've been told by my lady that she'd want a good engagement ring so it can then become a family heirloom. Is she just saying this? I'd really appreciate a woman's opinion.

Well Obstinance ,

to be truthful.. and JMO... if she is ridgy didge.. about you, and about your depth of love... then fair enough.. as in..

I wear a ring which is a combination of my grandmothers diamond, my diamond from my engagement ring.. and a diamond my mother bought me for my 50th.. and I will be passing the ring down to my granddaughter.. because she is the only granddaughter I am going to have.. I don't expect her to keep the design, but I trust that she will use the diamonds and remember me.. as I do remember my hubby and my grandmother..

I'm sure she is sincere in wanting to have a ring to pass down, but IMO they don't make jewelry today that would last no matter the price.

It's a nice idea, I do like it. And I do trust her so far as she gives me too much attention if anything.

But my ideal was always a woman who says she's doesn't care about the ring or the wedding, and then I may or may not give her the fairytale wedding of little girl's dreams, but only after hearing that the marriage is important and the props are not.

Thanks :)

I may use that excuse about the low quality of today's jewelry. Thank the Lord for child labour and the poor standards of modern manufacturing.

No lie, my mother had an engagement ring that cost thousands of dollars and the diamond kept falling out because the parts holding it in kept breaking. mumbling
