M1ck1e: An onion rings is going to fall apart too. As for a ring just be prepare for repairs in the long run. Maybe you'll get lucky and get a good one.


Maybe I'll just give her the olive ring out of a disassembled plumbing fitting - they last for years. And frugality is very attractive in a man. Thanks M1ck1e

Carmengetme: I've never been into bling and this also applies to engagement rings.

I'm not much on ceremonial affairs either, so a wedding(becoming less likely as I get older) would be a very simple affair.

Each to their own, but, I, personally would much rather spend the money doing other things with my partner...perhaps some travelling.

Now I just got to find him...before I need a zimmer frame.


I agree with you.... Good luck with the "frame".wine

unlaoised: Does this mean you're getting married?


No, no. First she'll have to flush me out of my bachelor's bunker with dogs, grenades and a sincere desire to spend the rest of her life with me.

Merriweather: Oh... who is baggy De Beers... certainly not me..

The ring is a great gift to show that the bloke is not going to be a cheapskate..

and yes, 2 months worth of salary is a great measure...

and if the stone is gorgeously cut.. all the better, the clarity is VVS
the color : D or better

thanks very much... I 'll be in it..

I love that good cuts throw a spectrum all over the car, when driving ...

and I don't care if I am the 'odd girl out' in this thread... !!


hum.. i see, you also want a diamond necklace to match... grin

M1ck1e: 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


I have an old car and absolutely love it.... yup. i try to explain that also. grin

Old cars were made to last. I would rather have one over a new one any day.

Cubic zirconians are more beautiful than any diamond I have ever seen.

unlaoised: Cheapskate


Bah, people universally overestimate the importance of money to attracting women. And I defy any woman to tell the difference between a real diamond and a cubic zirconia, just as I do with that signed Miro original I have hanging on my bedroom wall(signed by me, in biro).

There's a cubic zirconia and then there's the real deal. I prefer the real thing. Maybe you could get her a really big Swarovski instead? hmmm

Ummm... hate to spoil your enthusiasm over a cubic zirconian, but watch them scratch up badly over six months.. and they look worse than a beach pebble... and definitely can tell between a diamond and a cubic zircon..

sorry...

sigh
