k, buyin a ring for the gf. been together bout 2 and half years now. I have yet to buy her a piece of jewelry. not thinkin bout marriage or anything, but I wouldn't mind ppl knowing i'm wid her exclusivly.

questions, comments, advice?

p.s. cant decide; silver or gold? gold is more for marrage, right?

um.. make sure she knows its not an engagement ring, and really, silver/gold depends on her..

I would say pay attention to anything she usually wears- silver or gold? its just a preference thing in my head.

if my guy got me a ring, the only thing that would freak me out was if it was a diamond.. thats the stone that equals panic in my mind. Silver or gold has no bearing.

..Take her with you?



It really depends on the type of girl she is.. she'll either fall in love with a beautifull zirconia that costs £20, or, she'll set her heart on a £6000 diamond. Both of which look identical, but no, she will have that diamond.

Also, yeah. Be carefull she doesent assume this is a 'marry me' or 'lets get engaged' type ring. Be REALLY fucking carefull of that or you'll have one pissed off/heart broken/very scared girl on your hands.

Okay, how much are you looking to spend?

Any certain type of stone you're looking to put in it?

Rings, like yoyo said, go from 50's to the 100k's. Now I know you're not spending 100k on a ring, but what are your limits?

If you're cheap, get a silver band with a small Cubic zirconia or a smaller real diamond.

If you want to spoil your woman, get a white gold or Platinum band and a 1/3-1/2 carat diamond. Trust me, you'll spend a pretty penny on that. Somewhere in the 800-2000 dollar range.

Looking below 1000?

In the 300 range you can get a white gold band with a 1/8th TCW for somewhere in that range.

Those are really some of your best choices.

find out what her birthstone is since its not an engagement ring.

I'll be sure to let her know its not a marriage thing. We still have to get outta high school anyway...

As for the spending, My limit is pretty much $100. But I live in the V.I. (a port that makes a shitload every year off of alcohol, and jewelry) So jewelry is ALOT cheaper here.

as for the ring... she usually wears gold, but gold in my mind means marrige. lol. I think I might get her birthstone...

Thanks guys.
