backyard keg party sounds fun

lol hey ill plan your wedding too then =P

Hoooo nelly! That's one expensive ring! My girl's stand-in-engagement-ring-until-we're-not-broke ring is jade, and she loves it more than she would a diamond... Honestly though, even if she has expensive taste, if she loves you, she'll be happy with living a lifestyle that you can afford.

There's all these random replies here, hehe. It's kinda cool though. But yeah, Laurel showed me this other ring that was over two million and I was like sorry babe...no. Love you, but no.

I would love to get married someday but I never really envisioned it. I knew that my ring would be nowhere near that flashy. I like the solid band and that's it. you don't really need anything else. I talked to my girlfriend and she's not picky (which is good to know just in case ). She told me that she would love any ring that she was given (granted that it wasn't trashy).

A ring that costs that much better have the freakin' Hope Diamond on it or something! Holy...

Of course, the Hope Diamond is supposed to be cursed as well, so, sort of a mixed message there considering the sort of rings...or is it...?

There is a ring also by tiffany's that is over 10 million. My sister says that is the only one she will accept haha.

That's certainly one way to guarantee never getting married, haha!

As if I weren't struggling as it were trying to figure out what sort of ring would sell for $2-million...but $10-million? Man...rings like that alone require their own prenup.

Though, curiosity drove me to check and, really not surprisingly, a diamond even similar to the Hope Diamond wouldn't be on either ring. Way more expensive than $10-million.

Man, if I had a piece of jewelry that cost half that much I'd be too paranoid to wear it! Could you imagine if it fell off? Got lost? Stolen? Oh mah gawd!

I just can't wrap my head around why... we could buy so much cooler stuff with that much money!

But then again, I'm not really the marryin' type.

Ok...so I hate to be "that guy" but, if you are looking at getting diamonds please make sure they are "non-conflict". I would do some research on what companies use certified non-conflict diamonds if you are set on that stone.
Now that is out of the way...Tiffany is a prestigious brand so you would be paying for the name more than the design. You could have a one-of-a-kind ring made by an artisan for less than that and you can design it with your girl in mind.

Dude, don't hate to be "that guy": there's nothing wrong with being "that guy" and it's a very valid point to bring up. Our fellow man (speaking generally -- i.e. "our fellow humans", that's just awkward for me is all) needn't die and face warfare and terror just for something "pretty" and shiny.

Also, valid point as well about custom-made rings. What girl wouldn't want something like that?
