Planning to propose in a few months, what should I look for in a good value engagement ring? - eviltoast

My SO and I discussed that engagement rings shouldn’t be expensive.

What should I look for in good value rings? Lab grown diamonds? Fake diamonds? gold? white gold? silver? platinum?

Also, what kind of cut? Moissante vs Lab grown?

    The fact that the proposal is coming should not be a surprise. Neither should the look and style of the ring. Just shop for it together.

    The actual moment of the proposal, if well researched and planned, can be a fun surprise (if your proposee enjoys that kind of surprise. And there’s no need to get fancy. Just ask. Not for permission to propose, but for permission to make it a surprise.)

    But even that shouldn’t be too much of a surprise.

    Also, make sure it’s a “dress your best” kind of date, so your proposee will feel good about that way they look.
