I was doing this research about wedding traditions when I stumbled upon a funny question by a guy who either does not have a budget for buying an engagement ring or doesn’t care about any romantic stuff. He asked, why is an engagement rings so important to women?
There are a lot of funny answers with angst from other men who seems to be having the same issue, and there are answers from other women who are already married but never got into having an engagement ring either.
Also, if the girl have materialistic friends or social climber friends who values material things more than anything else. They love to flaunt their signature bag and shoes and had to announce where they got their new dress. Anyone from such kind of circle of friends would be pressured to have her beau buy her a gorgeous enormous diamond engagement ring. It is a status symbol kinda thing, the bigger the diamond the higher you are at the social radar. Hah!
But then again some romantic fools would say. An engagement ring is perhaps the most romantic indulgence of a lifetime because it holds special significance for the recipient and the giver. A gift that celebrates new and lasting love deserves attention.
At the Shane Co., you design your diamond ring from hundreds of setting choices, and you will appreciate its individuality. When it comes to diamonds, each gem is unique. At the Shane Co., the mystery is solved once we explain the four Cs. You can make the right choice for your beloved after you understand that all diamonds are distinguished by carat weight, color, clarity, and cut.
Choosing the ring style is another important aspect of designing the perfect ring for your fiancée. You will want to decide if her hand looks best with a delicate diamond solitaire, or a single gem set with a halo of smaller diamonds, or maybe a sparkling trio of stones to represent your past, present, and future life together. Another design step is choosing the type of precious metal for the setting. You want to take into consideration the skin tone and personal preferences of the woman who will wear the ring. There are fabulous choices in white gold, yellow gold, rose gold, two-tone gold, and platinum.
Whatever you decide when choosing the ring to put on your lady’s finger, know that she will love it because she loves you. If with so many choices you find you want help, seek advice from the family and friends who know her best.
How about you, what do you feel/think about engagement rings?
Stay gorgeous everyone!

yeah, that sucks right? I won;t get back to him anymore. People might kill me. Kiddin’! Well, I guess it’s already enough that I turned my back on those people who truly cares for me. I even turned my back on my family and he never saw it. He always upbraids all the things he done for me, the things he gave me (bags, shoes, clothes, etc.), and most especially the money that he spent for me. He never saw how I sacrificed my time just to be with him. Then I knew that he was defaming to people that I was the worst girl he had ever met in his entire life. My friends told me that I should let him do that because at the end of the day, I’ll still be the one who will be happy with my life. At the end of the day, I’ll be the one who will find “true love” and not the one whom I can just front to him just to say that I have a new guy. Isn’t it weird for him to give me an engagement ring then all of a sudden he was the one who has this “sama ng loob” and badmouthing me to people? haaaaay….. nice guys are hard to find nowadays!
Oh! This is such a nice story! thanks for sharing your engagement ring story its so sweet!
I suddenly remembered our “engagement ring”. We did not plan to have one but during our trip to Baguio, when we accompany some friends to buy some stuff, we saw this puzzle ring that i really wanted for the longest time 🙂 We just buy it on impulse and when the seller ask if we want to engrave names, we said of course 🙂 Now that we still wore it for more than a decade, we could just smile for reminiscing the fun and memories during that time. For me, what is more important is not the material worth of the ring but the memories behind the ring 🙂
that sux, don’t get back with him, but well I am not privy to what you feel for him and how deep is your relationship. i really can’t understand men who give engagement rings like that just to secure that the girl is theirs. geez, are you getting back with him? I hope things turn out right for you whatever your decision may be.
I was once engaged for 1 year. We were engaged since January 9, 2011. He gave me a not-so-expensive ring with a small stone. I promised him that we’ll get married when I finish my MA. I wanted to fix everything between him and my family since my family doesn’t like him. Actually, I had an against-all-odd relationship with him and all the people around were telling me that I should think first before deciding to pursue a marriage with him. I was fighting for him throughout our relationship but eventually we broke up last October 11, 2012, the day after our 2nd year anniversary. I found out that he had a new girl last October 18, 2012 and proposed to that girl last December 18 2012 with a Charriol ring. Then we talked again last January 2013 and he was asking me to get back to him and continue our plans for our so-called future. He told me that he just did a marriage proposal to that girl because of the “sama ng loob” that he felt for me. What do you think is his purpose of coming back to me? I just felt so cheated and lied and I guess my so-called “ex-fiance” was just testing me if I’ll run after him or not.
