Unique Engagement Rings

Propose to her even if you are broke

2008-07-21T07:24:00.000-07:00

Hey, if she truly loves you, she'll say yes even if you propose to her with a free ring from a cereal box. Then again, you could get her a really decent looking ring

I saw what looked like an expensive diamond ring going for $9.99 amongst cheap engagement rings. It certainly isn't a diamond. There is no way you can get a diamond for below $10. But cubic zirconia is not bad either. You could promise her to get the real thing, a real diamond after you've saved up for it. At least she knows you aren't commitment phobic.

If you do have a decent budget, you can get a real diamond ring. How about a diamond and ruby 1 carat ring for under $1,000. Actually, $769. Something she'd love to show off to her friends and you can be proud to have given it to her.

emerald engagement rings

zirconium jewelry cz engagement rings

2008-01-10T05:19:00.000-08:00

Diamonds are forever.
A woman dreams of receiving a diamond engagement ring from th love of her life, but the problem with diamonds is that they are priceless.

Priceless is precious to the receiver but can be terribly expensive to the giver. Especially if you want to give her an impressive diamond of at least 1 carat. 3 carats would be better.

What if she turns you down and keeps the ring?

Maybe she is not the sort of person to do that kind of thing, but would that diamond lend you in debt. If you have the cash for it, go ahead, but if not, are you willing to postpone your proposal a few years to save up the ring or chalk up massive credit card debt?

If you get in debt over that ring, would she like it? After all, you would start your married lives together in debt over a ring.

You might want to think out of the box. You can have your cake and eat it too.

Say you know she would love a stunning ring from Tiffany's but right now, you don't have the money for it. However, in a year or two, you would be able to squirrel away enough for that ring.

Propose to her with a cz engagement ring instead. You could pick a Tiffany inspired ring for starters. These zirconium jewelry look amazingly like diamonds.

Free Shipping on all Designer Replica Jewelry orders over $100. Great Deals on Tiffany, David Yurman, Aaron Basha, Cartier inspired jewelry.

If she accepts your marriage proposal, tell her your situation. That you will get her the real ring from Tiffany's in X months or years time when you have saved enough for it. Then she can go with you to choose it together.

Diamond engagement rings - diamond solitaire with accent

2007-12-13T05:06:00.000-08:00

It would be more interesting than a plain ring set with a single diamond.

Better yet, if you are considering custom made engagement rings, why not design your own?

Custom Engagement Rings

2007-12-04T04:06:00.000-08:00

So you want something really special for her. A custom engagement ring that you design for her would fit the bill.

It is easier than you might expect and you can get one to fit your budget as well.

Start with a diamond. Pick one within your budget which she might like. No two diamonds are the same. Go by the 4 Cs, Carat, Color, Cut and Clarity to decide.

If you go for a less perfect diamond in terms of flaws (clarity) you can probably afford a much larger diamond (Carat).

If she is a perfectionist, than go for the best clarity you can afford, even if the diamond may be small.

By playing around with the 4 factors (Color means the whiter the diamond (D is the whitest) the more expensive it would be. The only exception are the strongly colored diamonds that are pink, blue or canary yellow).

As for cut, the ideal cut would mean the diamond is cut to maximize the light reflected back. Meaning, the better the cut, the more brilliant the fire.

Then choose the setting that she would love.

How to pay for an engagement ring

2007-12-01T03:48:00.000-08:00

Now that is a tough question.

You could find the most ideal engagement ring in the world but what's the use if you can't afford to pay for it.

Before you buy an engagement ring, decide how much you can actually pay for it. Save up for that ring if necessary. Put aside how much you can afford to save each month so that after a year, you would have enough to buy that ring for her. If your relationship can't last that year or at least long enough for you to buy that ring, how long would the resulting marriage last if you were to propose to her today?

If she likes tiffany or you want to get her a tiffany ring, and you have a way with words, why not join this poetry contest. You might win $10,000 which is enough for the ring and the honeymoon should she accept.

Do you write poetry?? You could win $10,000!!

If you can't write to save your life, don't sweat it out. Do not go to the loanshark either as it really is not worth it. Instead, get her a tiffany inspired ring for the time being. If she accepts, then you could save up and get her the real tiffany ring. If she loves you, she'll wait.

Design your own ring by choosing a diamond you know she would love and have it set in this stunning setting.

The setting itself is $800, but it makes the diamond look far more expensive than if you set it in a plain setting. In fact, you can get away with a larger diamond with lower clarity and color grade and spend less than you would on a smaller diamond on a plain setting.

Take your time picking your diamond based on your budget and her taste.

engagement rings for when you are really broke

2007-08-24T02:23:00.001-07:00

If you are completely broke, you can't even buy an engagement ring to propose to her with true or false.

How would she react to a free ring found in the cereal box. If she loves you, she'd accept your proposal even if you propose to her with the ring from a can of beer right?

Actually, you don't have to go to that extent.

I was browsing through these engagement ring deals and found one for $9.99
Serious
It can even pass off as a diamond ring, though you'd better come up front and tell her it is cubic zirconia.. before she sends it for diamond grading.
Granted it is on sale so if you like it, grab it before it is gone. I haven't seen anything that looked so good for so cheap in a very long time.

Cubic zirconia is used to imitate diamonds, rubies, sapphires and other precious gemstones, though it is beautiful in its own right.

3 stone diamond ring with a 1 carat cushion diamond for the center.

2007-08-13T01:16:00.000-07:00

A 3 stone engagement ring says I Love You. This is especially the case if all 3 stones are diamonds.

You can design the ring to make it even more unique. It is really simple, actually.
Here is an example
Pick a setting. I like this one in particular.

It costs $1475

Add on a diamond that fits the setting, is in the acceptable carat weight for your woman. This GIA certified 1 carat cushion diamond
is $1833.

1 carat heart diamond rings

2007-08-01T02:59:00.000-07:00

Fancy a gorgeous 1 carat diamond ring where the diamond is cut like a heart?

Design your own!

I've found this gorgeous diamond.

1.01 carat heart diamond

It is 1.01 carats actually and GIA certified. Going for $3,534 which qualifies you to this $175 discount. That means you'll get the diamond for $3359.

Pick a setting for it.

A simple one like the Platinum European Shank Classic Solitaire Setting
costs $1,050 which would bring the price of the ring to $4409

Alternatively, you can get a gold setting for about $300 which would mean the ring would cost you $3659 in total.

IMHO, a simple classic setting would show off the heart diamond best. But you be the designer and put together a ring that you know she would love.

2 carat diamond rings

2007-07-29T23:30:00.000-07:00

If you are going to get her a 2 carat diamond engagement ring, make it something more interesting. Round diamonds are the most common ones of all. Great as investments as they are easy to resell but do you want her to sell off the diamond you gave her when you proposed marriage?

I thought not.

Go for a diamond that stands out from the crowd. You don't have to go for the most interesting diamond in the market. A different cut would make the engagement ring more unique.

2 carat asscher diamond

It is a 2.00 Carat Asscher diamond with a very good cut and it costs $7,883

Pair that with an equally stunning platinum engagement ring setting for maximum oomph.

2 carat asscher diamond ring

This one's $9,083

If you go for a simpler setting, you not only show off the diamond to its fullest, since there wouldn't be anything to compete with it, you'd save substantially. More so if you switch to white gold.

simple asscher 2 carat diamond ring

This one costs $8,233

This is just an example. I suggest you use this tool to Create your own diamond engagement ring

3 Carat Diamond Rings

2007-07-22T04:42:00.001-07:00

Too really impress the woman you want to marry, present her with a 3 carat diamond ring when you propose to her. The average girl might hope for a 1 carat diamond, but the 3 carat diamond? That's like.. wow!

She'll be the envy of her pals.

Problem is that 3 carat diamonds (the real ones which are certified to be of great quality) are very expensive. They can easily cost as much as $160,000
The cheapest one I could find was this 3.02 carat diamond

for $9,568

Use this coupon in July 2007 and it would cost you $9448
Value: $120 off on Diamond above $2500

Details: Offer is applicable on a single diamond above $2500

Code: AF120

Starts: 07-16-2007

Ends: 07-31-2007

It is a GIA certified diamond and would look great in as a 3 carat diamond engagement ring when you set it in an Engagement ring setting of your choice.

The final price would depend on the setting. Your 3 carat diamond ring can cost $9748 if you pick the $300 settings.

Ruby Engagement Rings - Real And Fake

2007-07-16T01:12:00.002-07:00

Do engagement rings have to diamond rings? Why not rubies?

Rubies are rarer than diamonds. So in reality, a good ruby is more precious than a diamond. The best rubies are untreated and have the richest red possible.

Besides, rubies look wonderful with a red dress, or even a little black dress. Red is more passionate than cold white.

Now would you like to propose to her with the real ring, or with a prop?

If you want to give her the real thing, get her this dual heart ruby ring.

Engraved Hearts And Kisses Ruby And Diamond Ring R

For something a little more traditional, try this.

Normally, it costs $1,090.00
Now you can get it at $599.99 while stocks last.
You Save: $490.01 (44%)

Alternatively, you could get her a stunning cocktail ring that looks like a ruby.

Vivian's Vintage Oval Ruby CZ Cocktail Ring
If she accepts your proposal, then you could go ring shopping with her for the actual thing. The cocktail ring would look stunning with her dresses too.

An engagement ring that's unique, from a top jeweler, has a large stone and is still affordable

2007-07-03T22:48:00.000-07:00

Does such a ring exist?

Something beautifully designed, with a gemstone (real one) in an impressive size.
Is from a world reknown European jeweller.
Yet is under $500.

It is possible as long as the large stone isn't a diamond. It can have diamond accents though.

14k Yellow Gold 7x7mm Pyramid Cab Genuine Peridot w/Diamond Ring (G-I, I1, 1/6 ct. tw.)
This beauty from Mondera (Mouwald group, from Europe but loved by American and British celebs) costs $415

This would make a wonderful engagement ring for a woman who likes green.

Not sure if she would accept your proposal

2007-06-08T19:03:00.000-07:00

The saddest thing is to have to return the diamond ring you bought to the jeweller because the love of your life turned down your wedding proposal.

Maybe she's not ready to settle down yet even though she loves you. Or the time is not right. Or she isn't sure of her feelings... No matter what she says, it sucks. So what do you do with the ring?

Better play safe. Feel her out before you propose. While chatting, bring up questions like.. what if? Would she ever want to settle down? What are her feelings about starting a family? Or would she just want it to be just the two of you. Can she imagine being with you for the rest of her life? Can you imagine waking up to her face and voice every morning?

Still not sure if she'd accept?
Maybe she loves cartier, but right now, you can't afford it. Maybe you can but if she turns down your proposal, it'll mean money down the drain.

Get her this.

Cartier -esque Inspired Cubic Zirconia Solitaire Engagement Ring w/ Channel Set CZs
Bring it with you when you have that what if chat.
If she accepts, you have something beautiful to slip onto her finger. Tell her you'll get the real thing first thing in the morning or when you can afford the real thing.
