I told BF I wanted a cubic zirconia. I don't wear alot of jewelry in the first place, so I'm a little scared I'd lose it or something would happen to it. Plus, we're saving money to hopefully buy a house soon, so I can't see wasting money on a ring. I know he loves me. I don't need a huge ring to prove that. I am not even that big of a diamond fan. :shrug: I wouldn't even care if he got me a different stone.

CR's post came up with a bunch of links in my quote - just seeing if it's us or her.
Yeah, but the basement looks better. Plus it would have just sat in my jewelry box.Larry Gude said:
I wear it about once a year. It will be an heirloom someday.

I still did the best I could do though
On the other hand....theres people out there that won't even consider getting married without a 3 karat ring. I don't get it. Like you said, buy a freakin house instead of boosting your materialistic ego.
If I was there, I'd just have laughed as the woman was picked up by her fiance in a hoopty truck as they drove back to their double-wide.
You're a dude?

Where are my pants?
My husband bought me a simple 1/2 carat solitaire for our engagement. Nothing special or overly fancy. It's simple and classic.
But I got fat so it doesn't fit right anymore...now it sits in my jewelry box awaiting my slimdown.
In the meantime, my best friend got married and takes every opportunity possible to show off her monstrous 2 carat emerald cut diamond ring. So I decided to step up to her challenge and ordered a 3 carat CZ ring with matching wedding band (also lined in fake stones) off of eBay for $20. I told her it was real. She was so jealous that she cried.

I love the women with the 3 carat CZ rings that you know for a fact are fake, and they do their damnest to convince you that it's real.

Hubby bought me a 1 ct for starters and a year later upgraded to a 2 ct. Its ok though, because he will probably never have to buy me another piece of jewerly as long as he lives. I dont wear anything but wedding rings and my moms mothers ring. No necklaces, earrings, bracelets, ect. People tell hubby hes very lucky in that aspect.

Hell yeah! My newlywed niece took us to dinner one time in a buffett restaurant and when she was paying, the girl behind the counter noticed her 2 carat ring. Immediately she asked " Does he have a brother?"
