I thought this was common knowledge? The fact that it is always man giving ring to a woman should be enough of a sign.
if the engagement hinges on a diamond ring, it was already doomed
Jokes on you, i'm never going to have a gf let alone get married! Kill me.
I reckon I'll try and find a cool meteorite ring instead. Spending $4000 on a ring is ridiculous.
I'd probably try to make the ring myself or something.
I support affordable and personalized 3d printed rings!

[QUOTE=Killuah;43933577]I'd probably try to make the ring myself or something.[/QUOTE] Unless you're a master carpenter or a blacksmith, I highly doubt that.
I'll just get a sweet decoder ring.
Gee, well, I dunno, why not get a girlfriend that doesn't revolve around petty things? That doesn't mean my dick. Dicks are a crucial element in surviving, yes sir.

[QUOTE=Trunk Monkay;43934355]Unless you're a master carpenter or a blacksmith, I highly doubt that.[/QUOTE] It's really not that hard to make a ring..I made a ring out of brass a year ago as a gift for a friend and it turned out fine, I'm not a master carpenter or a blacksmith. You just need to melt the brass and pour it into a proper mold and then smooth it out with some cheap tools. [editline]21:27[/editline] I thought I had some pictures of the process but I don't anymore. I definitely took pictures step-by-step how I made it but I guess they got deleted. Sorry! I really wanted to post them, but you can probably figure out the steps. It's only ring science. :eng101: Basically, I had acquired some brass from junk I had come across (plumbing stuff mostly) and melted it down to a solid mass in a fire. Then I made a simple ring mold out of some clay stuff a friend got for me. After that, I re-melted the brass and poured it into the mold and let it cool before cracking the mold and retrieving the almost perfect ring. I had to chip off some imperfections and heat some areas with a blowtorch and slightly sculpt it back to shape, and it was done. It looked identical to this image, except it was brass.

Then either cut outside round or add some shapes. Or take a sheet of metal, heat it and wrap it around a tube. Though that is more advanced and requires some skill to hide the seam. Depends on metal obviously. Simple rings are probably the easiest thing you can make out of metal.
Guys, if your going to get her a ring. You have to go all out. [QUOTE][IMG]http://cdn2.planetminecraft.com/files/resource_media/screenshot/1302/lotr_4591561_lrg.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]
[URL="http://www.cracked.com/article_19367_6-companies-that-rigged-game-and-changed-world.html"]Cracked writer Garrett Moll on DeBeers:[/URL] [quote]So, if all that's true, how in the hell do they get away with it? Shouldn't it be illegal? Actually, it totally is. The monopoly De Beers holds is so blatantly illegal by U.S. antitrust laws that they've been banned from selling in the U.S. (they're forced to sell to intermediaries on the international market). Until they pleaded guilty to price fixing charges in 2004, their executives wouldn't even set foot on American soil because they feared they'd be arrested on sight.[/quote]

Quote from a Diamond importer on Reddit(yea I know). [QUOTE]This video is COMPLETE nonsense. Engagement rings have been a part of marriage tradition way before america even existed. Using a DIAMOND however was De Beers. [I]Also, note that this guy's videos are sensationalist and satirical, hence his "next" video is about owning a dog is dumb because they just take advantage of you..." So please don't take this video as serious, and if the creator is, he is just looking for attention/views and not to actually teach people anything.[/I][/QUOTE] Rest of it here.

I've been engaged since last summer. Me and my spouse decided to keep the rings cheap and fashionable. A token of our commitment, but in no way did it have to be expensive. For the wedding rings we don't really plan on spending a lot either. It's the thought that's the most important to us, anyway.

If you truly loved someone, you'd give them the happiness of a Haribo ring anyway. [t]http://i.imgur.com/EpWPto6.jpg[/t] I'd fucking accept one.
