I met my soulmate, and I want to spoil her like a princess. Is it true that I should spend at least 3 months gross salary on the engagement ring? If so, we're talking about a $22,000 ring, which is fine with me. Also, she likes princess cut with baguettes. Do I concentrate on the size of the rock and not the rest of the ring, or both? Help me out here ladies!Ladies advice needed on engagement ring?
Well, the diamond commercials actually say ';Is 2 months salary worth a lifetime'; , not 3 months, or something like that. If you can afford it, go for it. But don't go into debt for a ring. Remember the rest of your lives is what is important. Plus, we like when the guy plans things out, makes things personal. If she has hinted at a certain cut of diamond, then that's the cut you want to go for. I think an inscription on the inside of the ring would be nice too. Plus, think about the wedding band too. What will the engagement ring look good with? If you can afford $22 grand, then go for it, but remember to make it as personal as possible.Ladies advice needed on engagement ring?
I think that you should look at the rest of the ring and not the rock!

both the ring must look beautiful and elegant make sure it is flawless. i wish i were her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i really wouldnt spend all that money on a ring maybe 2-5000 at the max
no you need a maximum of five months so that your lady will feel very much spoiled. and that is the rule of getting ingaged
K...First off, CONGRATS!!! There is this style of band that is called (I think) micropaving. It's so freaking beautiful. I would highly recommend it because it is simple yet elegant. Copy the link below into your address bar and you can see what it looks like.

I would get her at least a 2 carat size center stone (if you are in fact looking to spend that much $$ on the ring).
Good Luck!
you must buy her one from you heart not no what you think she might like cause that could get you in hot water
It is very important to go to a reputable jeweler. What you want are the 4 C's: cut, color, carat weight and clarity. The last is very important. Look for a low letter number which refers to color. You want as close to colorless as possible. VVS means very slight or almost no flaws, which is also important. If you can afford it, go for a 2 carat quality stone. Most jewelers will tell you that a round cut is the most brilliant. Ask for a registered stone, if possible.
She's a lucky girl.
You don't need to spend that much on a ring! Since price isn't a real limitation, look at her other jewelery to get a cue on the type of metals she likes (white or yellow), and you already know the cut of diamond she wants, and about the size of diamond--get something that will compliment the size of her hand--a woman I work with has a tiny hand, and a 2.5 carat center stone ring-it looks like she has a tennis ball sitting on her hand--I have a larger hand and my ring is a 1 carat center stone and it looks very good--proportional to my hand.
I would take what I know about the ring she will love, and go to a jeweller you trust--stay away from Zales and Kays' (you aren't going to get anything original there)--look for someone who has been in business for a long time and is local to your area--ask friends who to go to--and he will suggest some great options for you. Make sure to tell teh jeweller the type of jewelery she wears--plain and classic, flashy, none at all...
My fiance expected to spend about $10,000 and was pleasantly surprised he only spent $7500.-to him, he got a deal. Get the ring insured! It will make her feel more comfortable about wearing it. Mine in insured against anything at all-including I put it down and now its gone...I feel much better wearing it now that I know its insured.
Also--don't finance the ring-only buy what you can pay for in cash.
If she is truly your soulmate, she'll love whatever ring you give her. I wouldnt want my boyfriend to waste 3 months salary on a ring. You could spend all that money on a nice, romantic vacation or something.
Well, if she's obessed just about the size of the ring and nothing else, than yeah you should focus on the size. But, if the whole ring must be perfect than you should get a little more than average size ring, a nice band, etc. Good luck!
what the hell you do for a living, man?
if your gonna spend that much money on a ring i'd worry about the whole ring. 22,000 are you crazy or is she money hungry????? i'd watch out .
If that amount won't make your finances a bit rocky then spend it. Afterall, you said she's your soulmate. The size of the rock is less important than the design to me, but you don't want to get an over complicated ring either, less is more. Is there a subtle way you could find out what stones she likes, eg. emerald, ruby, sapphire? Because that's more personal and they often have small diamonds around the main stone so you get both. I would say definitely white gold or platinum though. Yellow gold is so old fashioned!
I would go with what you can afford. If she loves you she will not care how much you spend. I personally would not want a 22,000 dollar ring on my finger. I would be scare someone would steal it or I would loose it. Look at both the stone and the ring.
I would slap you if you spent that much money on a shiny rock, my husband game me the best rings. He bought them from Kay Jewlers and my engagement ring was a simple white gold band with a single diamond. I loved it and still do, now for my 21 birthday and our wedding ring he game me a white gold band with 3 diamond setting representing the past, present and future. I say go with something you know she'll like but won't look overwhelming on her hands or weight her down. If you want something special like detail find the perfect band and then a diamond to go with it.
Well first of all its not the ring that counts its the love you have for each other. But anyways make sure the rock isn't to big because It would look tacky. Also if you know what she likes then go for it!
i've always heard 1 months salary! really if i were you i would go to the jeweler and tell them what she likes and pick out one that you think she would like. don't spend way outside your budget and go into debt over a ring! and really you should concentrate on the whole package but the majority of the package is the diamonds! best of luck to you :-)
