Went for something simpler, decided to go with a lab grown diamond and a simple band. Seriously, lab grown diamonds are a fraction the cost of real ones, so it made sense given my budget. No idea why you would want to get a real one, especially given no one can tell the difference between the two anyways. Bragging rights? There's surprisingly many ways to save on rings too, don't get anything too fancy, minimal designs, stick ton a unibody construction of one metal type. Overall, I did well, ill keep everyone posted on next steps!

You got me beat, but my wife is a simple lass. Don’t even remember the gemstone, but I know it was her favorite. Cheap… after a few years I surprised her with a nicer freshwater pearl ring in Trinity knots, went all out and got the earrings to match. Still no diamonds, still nowhere near the cost.

a simple lass

So at 50 she finally did a parallel park and didn't crash the car yet this year?

Ha, a woman parallel parking… where do you come up with this stuff?!

I hoped one day a woman would learn how.

Me and my brother when on the road play a game called chink, female or both in regard to drivers before we get close enough to identify. It involves bets and it's always one or the other. Sometimes both which means a bonus and we hit a drive thru.
