    I need to know. I think my girl would really.... really like this. My only problem is I don't know which cut would be the best?

    Give me a 1 to 10 1 being the ugliest 10 being you obv like it. Also please give me some ideas and reasons for each cut.

    Also which ring you'd pick. A B or C they're labeled.

    That1chic's choice is about as ugly as rings get. It looks so trashy...

    Alright I'll keep looking. Thanks for the honesty you guys.

    I didn't expect to make this post without someone thinking this stuff was ugly, so don't worry so just say what you're thinking.

    Imo, look for one where the band is as thin as possible and the diamond a square or rectangle with very thin almost unnoticeable clasps. Step away from pear shaped diamonds or yellow gold! And congratz! =)

    so paying 5 mil for a ring when they walk in a store like a celeb means more then a ring a guy bought for 500 but spent months finding one he thought was right?

    nah, you're awesome, she'll love it even if you give her a shoestring to tie on her finger (well, maybe not so much, but she'll love it no matter what ring you pick out).

    see forever, let this be a lesson.

    you have to take your girl's personality into account here. for instance, beki's ring is beautiful, but id never wear it, it doesnt match me at all and i bet she'd say the same of mine.

    believe it or not, youll find something that matches her and unfortunately, we wont be able to help with that.

    gl. youll do great.

    ^^zactly. every girl is different, which is why there are so many beautiful types of rings to choose from. when you find the perfect ring that fits your fianc's taste, you'll know.

    p.s. i love your ring t1c. it's very elegant.

    Hopefully I'm not telling you anything new here, but pleeeeease remember that a diamond is judged by more than just it's size.

    A pet peeve of mine is people that say "my diamond is one carat, na na na na naaaa na". But you look at it, and it's noticeabley flawed.

    Remember the 4 C's - cut, clarity, colour, and carats.

    Get a good one - she'll appreciate it.

    My suggestion would be to take her shopping with you & watch her reactions to different rings. Jewelry is so personal and it's more important to get something that she likes rather than surprizing her with something she might not. I'm sure she'll like whatever you pick out eventually.

    I think the rings you picked out are beautiful. They look very classy and timeless. I love the princess cut, it's my favorite. Then I like oval or round next. I'm not a fan of the marquise cut or the heart-shaped diamond at all. I 100% agree that you have to take your gf's personality into account when picking a ring. I'm very traditional. While I like beki and t1c's rings, they are not at all for me. Also, believe it or not, the shape of her hand matters. I have very small hands with thin fingers and certain shapes just aren't flattering on me. Also, big huge diamonds look too gaudy on me. Hope that helps! gl to you!
