Engagement ring $$$ when 2nd marriage for both

Spend whatever you both are comfortable with, but definitely go with a lab. No need for human beings and the environment to suffer for the sake of something you wear on your finger.

If you want a ring, you should get a ring that you like (and can afford). You could always take pictures of what you like to a jeweler and have something designed. Usually this is cheaper. I’ve used Dominion Jewelers for this. You can’t do this at Jared’s.

If you want a lab diamond, get a lab diamond. If you want a mined diamond but have ethical qualms, buy a used one (which is likely what you’ll get if you go custom anyway). Diamonds are like cars: the first owner takes the moral depreciation.

What the first wife got is absolutely irrelevant to this conversation and bringing it up makes you sound a bit immature.

Idk, it just seems weird to need/expect/want to be given an engagement ring the second time around. I mean wear a ring if you want to signal you're married but this as a gift from him, "he gave me an engagement ring" seems silly/immature and not age appropriate for this phase of your lives.

OMG.

So many issues.

If I get married again I'd have a wedding ring. That's it. No need for another engagement ring.

And I couldn't care less what had been spent on anyone prior than me. I'd want what is right for me - regardless of how that compared to anything else.

I'm an adult.

Any person who would choose a piece of bling over spending that amount on a shared experience, part of a home purchase is really special.


Wearing a ring every day for the rest of your life IS an experience. Not wearing one is a different experience that I would not choose. If $10K is the make or break on a downpayment he doesn’t have enough for marriage.

You sound like a real peach.


Truth hurts. If he’s poor or broke, better she finds out before marriage than after.

Why not skip the ring and get a gorgeous wedding ring?
