This dude "upgrades" his fiancee's engagement ring from a 4.0 carat ring to 5.6 carat ring. Unreal

[christie]

I tired to post there and recommend him to come here for some help. The post was removed and I was banned pretty fast. Oh well. 100k for a ring. You can place that as a down payment on a home. Guess it doesn't matter.. She'll get it one way or another.

figures lol.
Try to tell the truth and help your fellow man out and they not only delete you but ban you.
Yikes.
Good job for trying.

WTF??? Some of these dudes might be trying to marry up a few points above them and might be desperate thirsty simps.

Another poster in the same thread financed a ring for his fiancee. Not to sound mean or anything but to me there is soooo much wrong with this pic. Call me pessimistic but if this guy ever lost his job, he's done.

She needs to be at the gym not eating carby foods and drinking alcohol.

For a man who has loads of disposable money and enjoys spending it in such ways, I say enjoy his money, in whatever ways make him happier.

That's pretty much what I think. If he's well off and this is how he wants to spend his money, more power to him. I know people who don't like to spend money on themselves at all, they like to spend it on others. But since he's asking financial questions on that forum, it makes me wonder if he can really afford it.

That said, that is one nice diamond.

Buy some rental properties or invest in an index fund. The return would be much greater than a piece of carbon; especially if their relationship "opens up" or fails.

Tell the truth, shame the devil.

I don't tell anyone about this site and try to stay tightlipped about redpill concepts. A lot of stuff wouldn't make sense coming from me, a girl, anyways.

Even a man can't do it. Most of the stuff that gets talked about here will get you in trouble.

one of the things is the guy wants to announce his presence. if the girl is wearing a 2+ carat that is above the common man budget. it is announcing the presence of money/power; telling others not to try. yes, the guy does not get it... even the alpha-looking contractor. often it is only effective to keep simps off, experienced men might take it as a sign that they probably can get to her.

a girl is announcing the money/power of the man AND that she is in control of it to other women. she might behave well for some time because of this.

exceptions
- 2+ carat when the man is worth 20m plus. the ring is only a small amount to him.
- 1/2 + carat on 60th wedding anniversary.

I bought my ex-wife a 2.3 carat ring EGL certified off the Internet for $2700.00. While, I'd admit, it was a beautiful ring, I do not think it was above the average dude's income in Queens, NY. She came from a family who was around jewelry all the time in the diamond district. She was showing me, at the time, the rings that her friends and sister got. 15k - 25k. I said, you're with the wrong dude. She picked the design, and I had it made. white gold and platinum I believe. I really was stunning. Her wedding gift to me was a pair of 3k cuff links from some crazy upscale store I've never stepped foot in. My ring that she bought was a men's Tiffany wedding band which was not cheap; that she paid for. She also paid for her own wedding band. I got her a nice Cartier watch, from a pawn shop as her wedding gift. Fun fact, she left her watch after she moved out. Offered to her, she never came to get it. I sold it for nearly what I paid for it. So, it wasn't a complete loss. I still have the ring and cufflinks. Both would easily pull in 4k or so since they were solid gold. Since gold is skyrocketing, I have a feeling it's just going to go up in value. So, in the very end, I might get my money back from what the divorce cost me. lol. I didn't buy it to show off, I bought it because it was a fair price and it looked really nice. Never do that s hit again.

As per the AMA, red wine is actually good for a person once or twice a week. A glass, not a bottle. lol.

I did something similar at one point from the Internet. The Internet has definitely broken the price some on this stuff. Your correct, in the center of a few areas, are pockets of ppl and zip codes that have different budgets. Would have to factor that into the ideas for it to apply. You consistently post strong common-sense financial ideas. Like this one, why pay 15k for something you can get for 2.7k.

I used to do nice cars like that when younger. It was because they looked nice and I enjoyed the refinement like looking at a piece of art. Sometimes the initial reaction ppl would have would be negative thinking it something shows off. It wasn't, I just enjoyed the items for how they worked. I think jewelry can be looked at in the same way; probably most don't. Somehow along the way I lost the fun from cars, and instead enjoy farming.

It's not a terrible idea to have some gold and silver stashed as a back up.

Both the man and the woman will use that ring to brag about the wealth they probably don't have to other people who are just as vapid as they are.

Even if I was loaded I wouldn't buy a woman a rock like that on principle.

Let's remember the original purpose of the valuable E-Ring is more or less as a bond.

Tradition generally holds that if the betrothal fails because the man himself breaks off the engagement, the woman is not obliged to return the ring. This reflects the ring's role as a form of compensation for the woman's damaged reputation.[37] Legally, this condition can be subject to either a modified or a strict fault rule. Under the former, the fiancé can demand the return of the ring unless he breaks the engagement. Under the latter, the fiancé is entitled to the return unless his actions caused the breakup of the relationship, the same as the traditional approach. However, a no-fault rule is being advanced in some jurisdictions, under which the fiancé is always entitled to the return of the ring. The ring only becomes the property of the woman when marriage occurs. An unconditional gift approach is another possibility, wherein the ring is always treated as a gift, to be kept by the fiancée whether or not the relationship progresses to marriage. Recent court rulings have determined that the date in which the ring was offered can determine the condition of the gift. E.g. Valentine's Day and Christmas are widely recognized as gift-giving holidays in the United States and some other countries. A ring offered in the form of a Christmas present is likely to remain the personal property of the recipient in the event of a breakup.[41]

In most states of the United States, engagement rings are considered "conditional gifts" under the legal rules of property. This is an exception to the general rule that gifts cannot be revoked once properly given. See, for example, the case of Meyer v. Mitnick, 625 N.W.2d 136 (Michigan, 2001), whose ruling found the following reasoning persuasive: "the so-called 'modern trend' holds that because an engagement ring is an inherently conditional gift, once the engagement has been broken, the ring should be returned to the donor. Thus, the question of who broke the engagement and why, or who was 'at fault,' is irrelevant. This is the no-fault line of cases." Though in certain states, whether a judicial action can be maintained at all to require return of an engagement ring is blocked by statute, as many states have statutes which state that no civil action shall be maintained for breach of promise to marry.[42]

One case in New South Wales, Australia ended in the man suing his former fiancée because she threw the ring away, after he told her she could keep it even though the marriage plans had fallen through. The Supreme Court of New South Wales held that, despite what the man said, the ring remained a conditional gift (partly because his saying that she could keep it reflected his desire to salvage the relationship) and she was ordered to pay him its A$15,250 cost.[43]

In England and Wales, the gift of an engagement ring is presumed to be an absolute gift to the fiancée. This presumption may be rebutted however by proving that the ring was given on condition (express or implied) that it must be returned if the marriage did not take place, for whatever reason. This was decided in the case Jacobs v Davis (1917).[44]
