I’m thinking about proposing to my girl, however we both think diamonds as a standard is stupid and overrated, we both prefer much more colorful and comparatively cheaper gemstones like rubies and sapphires, but I’m having trouble finding a good place for that, I’ve never done this before, any ideas?
My wife’s engagement ring is also Moissanite and she loves it. It looks like a $20k ring to anyone but a jeweler (honestly I regret going with as big of a stone as I did, but my wife loves it), but I “only” spent $2.5k on it
Plus Moissanite is harder and has a higher brilliance than diamond. A great alternative for people who don’t want to waste money on diamonds, but still want a “traditional” ring
It still seems fucking insane to me to spend 2,5k on a ring but you do you.
It’s a piece of jewelry she wears literally every day of her life and she loves it - I’d say we got our money’s worth even by now, let alone over the coming decades
Yes, my stone is a full carat because my husband wanted a round number I guess haha. Anyway, it does look rather opulent given our economic status, but I Iike it and it fit his budget.
I honestly can’t remember the exact size, but in retrospect it definetely looks a bit gawdy by my usual standards 😅
