Speaking from expereince?They're not inherently foolish, but I've seen some people spend far more than they can afford because the girl had unrealistically high standards for the type of ring she wanted.
That type of attitude is an early warning signal that lets you know you should be running as fast as you can in the other direction.
You're my kinda girl...

Personally I don't get the backlash of these new lab-created diamonds. I'm not talking cubic zirconium - that stuff is obviously fake as hell. But I have a man's ring with the lab diamond. It sparkles like a diamond, and can even cut glass. It's even been said that trained gemologists (or whatever you would call them) would have difficulty distinguishing between them and natural diamonds.
I'd just get my fiancee/wife a ring like that. You can get a 2-4 carat solitaire like that for under a hundred, and NOBODY can just look at it with the naked eye and tell it's not a "natural" diamond. All the flash, a fraction of the cash.
And that's the reason to buy a diamond, isn't it? So people can go "oooooooooooo"? Mission accomplished.

Yeah - save your money for something else because that things ugly as sin.
I'm single. I would be disappointed if my boyfriend spent a ton of money on a ring. I don't like the solitarie diamonds because they stick out and get caught on things. I like the simple band rings....and only ONE ring.
