Does she have a preference of style that you know of? I'd say the first one...

Cameron the Conqueror · « **Reply #2 on:** October 12, 2009, 08:27:47 PM »

I would also say the 1st (although her preference would obviously be the best bet.) I am a fan of the more traditional style.

#1 has a nice, clean look to it. But more stones may "play" better.

My wife says #1, but she likes simpler designs.

Gretel says unless it's an engagement band do NOT get her a diamond...go sapphire or amethyst or birthstone, and I completely agree. You don't want to confuse her...

Master KChief · « **Reply #7 on:** October 13, 2009, 02:47:09 AM »

well, i should probably mention shes a bit more than just a girlfriend...so i have no problem getting her a diamond. i suppose you could call it a promise ring of sorts.

Hey man, one bro to another:

Don't play with fire because you can get burned. If your going to get her a diamond, be prepared to get down on one knee. If your not, I wouldn't go near it then. Just get her something that she will like and save the diamonds for when your ready.

I would also vote #1. I like the smooth style of that one.

I agree with the thought of staying away from a diamond unless you are ready to tie the knot. With that being said, the second choice is a higher quality gold and only a slightly smaller karat of diamonds. I would choose number two!

Just a side note: If you get her a birth stone ring when you do decide to propose to her you can have the birthstone added to the engagement ring or even wedding ring. That is what my wife and I did with her ring and it is really nice...

I agree with the other married guys in this thread (ie. those who have experience in this sort of thing), and recommend not getting a ring that looks like an engagement ring if you're not getting engaged. Personally, I would recommend getting a different stone (rubies are cool). However, if I had to pick between these two choices, I would go with #2.

I'll echo what others have said. Diamonds send the message of engagement, leading to marriage. Even if it doesn't mean that to you, it likely would to her, so make sure that's what you want it to mean. I did get my wife a "promise ring of sorts" with an amethyst, and she really appreciated it.

Married? me? Heck no, just a single guy trying to use his brain.

Which begs the question: If a man goes into the woods and makes a statement, and no woman hears him, is he still wrong?

lol beat me to it pala. XD I would have to go with the first one for the simple fact the second one looks like an engamement ring. If that is what you are looking for, the second one is your choice. If not, go wit hthe first

It could be the age difference rather than the marrage difference, but I agree it's interesting.
