Like many guys out there, I had never thought of buying a diamond till placed into the situation of having to propose to the girl whom I will like to ask to be my wife.
A proposal ring is a must but its monetary value pales in comparison to its symbolic value. A ring is a ring and a decent one can be obtained at a few hundred dollars. A more elaborate ring can cost a few or even tens of thousands on the other hand.
The important thing is that the proposal ring should not be too expensive to the extent of crippling one financially. A proposal ring is but the first step to a long string of financial commitments such as wedding banquet, bridal packages, housing, renovation, etc.
While I am not rich, financially, I believe I will be able to pamper my girl with a nice diamond proposal ring in the range of S$4000, greatly manageable especially with all the interest free instalments of up to 24 months that are available with credit cards.
The constraint that I had was that the decision to propose was made only very recently and I had a time frame of less than 2 weeks to shop and find the appropriate diamond ring. To get a good ring to propose with within 2 weeks, I hungrily searched out information on diamond selection and purchases from websites and online forums. After I had obtained enough of the diamond information did I start going to the shops to physically look at the diamonds.
