Want to find one for my gf, and wondering if i should bring her with me, or maybe just go with something simple. Not sure, how did everyone else do it here? She's beautiful, white, has amazing eyes, and a big heart, so want something that matches

Taking her shopping is a good test. If she is content with a modest but meaningful reminder of your pending union, she's a keeper. If she thinks she needs a rock the size of Gibraltar to impress her friends and social media, you may need to educate her or reconsider the whole thing.

The "three months salary" is jewspeak. Also, diamonds are worthless jew rocks (outside of industry). Diamonds are not precious gems.

Agreed. Gey ruby or emerald.

She said she wants something simple and not too flashy. She's pretty modest when it comes to bling and showing off stuff

In that case, congratulations!!

That is a good sign. Go for something that is not a Diamond. They are overpriced and not even slightly unique.

We went with a really gorgeous aquamarine instead of a diamond, and I had her best friend help me decide what we both thought she would like. That said, there's nothing wrong with taking her to pick out the ring, herself, and still surprisingly her with the where and how. She's going to be the one who will be wearing it, after all.
This doesn't sound like it applies to your situation, but it needs to be said for others where it might; while the actual act of the proposal can be a surprise, the idea of proposing to her never should be. You should be every bit as already assured of what her answer will be as you are of you wanting to ask, well before you even think about buying a ring, etc.

A plain gold band is the only choice for a wedding ring. Anything else looks tacky and garish. Platinum is cold and dead, titanium is ridiculous, any ring with stones in it doesn't look like a wedding ring, which should be plain, and rings made of semi-precious stone are too fragile to last, in addition to looking tacky and cheap. Go with gold, and don't go too thick either. Don't get the gold ornamented or engraved -- the ring has to be plain. Think Lord of the Rings, the ring of power. That's the archtypical wedding ring. Do you think some Orc said to Sauron, "Lovely, Sire, but wouldn't it look better with a few rubies on the top." No, go plain.

Cheapy engagement ring when you pop the question. Go buy the wedding ring set with her so she gets what she likes. She can wear THAT engagement ring until the day you throw your life away.

Starting a family isn't "throwing your life away" you subversive piece of shit.

Go suck your BF's cock, Rabi! You just want people breeding so you have a regular supply of foreskins to munch on...

Depends, does she plan on wearing an engagement ring with the wedding ring, or just a wedding ring? I'd say keep it simple if she will wear both, and maybe something easy for other men to see from afar if she doesn't.

She said she likes the idea of a basic diamond ring, with no over the top ornaments on it, smaller carat, etc. I would think she'd want to wear both rings

My wife wanted a marquis her whole life until we went in a jewelry shop and she tried it on. Then she wasn't impressed. But it gave me a rough idea of what she wanted, and better yet, didn't want.

Somehow I managed to knock the ring out the park, Took like 4 hours picking the right band and diamond though. I went on my own.

If there are clues or talk about marriage, plant into her head the idea of taking you to look for rings with her but don't buy with her there, just go to do it as something to fill an afternoon. That's what happened with me and I felt hyper uncomfortable when I was in the shop with her. She had no idea but it actually gave me all I needed to work it out myself. And it still was a total surprise when I did propose.

Good luck

None. Weddings are fake and gay. Marriage hasn't meant anything since before 1947. After that the bitches were only after the "forever rock." Imagine thinking a piece of paper from the state and a worthless rock actually means something...

My wedding ring symbolizes my wedding vows, which mean something to me. I don't break a vow, ever.

Many jew shills on this post sadly

jews do sort of run the diamond industry, though.

at least i assume they do since they run just about every other industry.

Do you need a symbol to make a vow?

Do you need a symbol to represent your vows?

Do you need a symbol for your vows to mean something to you or others?

Probably not. It's just the preprogrammed social norm for people to think they need a piece of paper and a ring for their vows to mean anything.

I understand why people get married, but I find it unnecessary myself. I've been with the same woman for 20 years (in 8 days) and we have four boys together. Marriage will do nothing to solidify that any further than it already is. I just don't understand why people need to include the government in their relationship.

If you’ve been together 20 years and have 4 children together, hasnt the government already stepped in? Common law and what not?

If you want to be a surprise buy a cheap one and have her come pick out a real one if it doesn’t need to be a surprise just have her come with you to pick it out

Diamonds are nearly worthless, think about how many jewelry shops in even the smallest town there are filled with them. If she still wants one get a manufactured one, three times the size ten times the quality than "natural" ones. I gave my wife a sapphire, crystalized aluminum, actually rare in nature. I went for natural, but would have gone for manufactured if the price difference was that of diamonds.

My wife wanted to pick it herself. If you’re super confident in your abilities, do it. If not, let her pick.
But maybe find some nice local people to make it. It can come in handy later. Look on Etsy or some such shit.

My wife and I went shopping for our engagement and wedding bands together, we made a day of it. Admittedly I did propose over lunch... I think my exact words were, "So since we're getting married right, let's go get our rings, I have no ideas what to get." #realromantic (we'd been together for 8 years at the time through undergrad, my grad school misadventure, cancer and getting seizures, so... Yeah...)

She then promptly bought our (better) wedding bands a couple months after the wedding when we had some money again.
