Question

I have been dating for about four to five years my money is not the best but im in love Im thinking about buying a cubic will she be mad and will she get it tested.................

Answer 1

You can get engaged with a piece of rope...
Or get engaged and not even have a ring...but matching bands.. it all depends on what she would like really.actually what you both would like
Unless she is really into getting a ring and asking you for one..then.. only a real one would do..

If you love each other and she knows your financial situation.. a good CZ would be nice if you want to get a ring that is..
Just don't lie to her and tell her its real..
You can say when we have more money I will buy you a real one for our anniversary .. or something to that effect..

I do hope your financial situation improves though as you will be spending a lot when you actually marry..
Good Luck!

Answer 2

Yes, of course she'll be insulted, mad, hurt, etc. if the ring isn't real. There are several things you can do to get her an engagement ring with a real diamond. There's always a layaway plan, so you can buy a ring and put money toward ti until you've paid according to the store's terms. And just about every jewelry store has a clearance section, even for diamond rings, where you can find an engagement ring at a fraction of the original price. This is a great buy !!! Also, you can negotiate the price. There is such a huge mark-up on rings (like 1,000% mark up) that you can negotiate with them, and they'll still make a profit.

By the way, I suggest that you educate yourself first about buying a diamond ring, so that when you do go shopping for one, you will be a very informed buyer, and you'll be less likely to be taken.

Answer 3

Your best to be honest and upfront with her. She will understand better if you explain to her the reasons as to why you can't afford a real ring for now but in the future you will replace it for the real thing. She would take that much better coming from the heart and being true than lying to her. She will gush at the ring and show all her friends and be very saddened and upset if it turns green or she loses the stone and then your in hot water for not telling her from the beginning.

I'm sure she loves you also and will understand right now isn't the best time for a big ring. You can do that in years to come.

start off on the right foot on your marriage. If you lie now and she finds out later she will think everything has been a lie even the marriage.

good luck

Answer 4

Oh, dude.

The last thing you want to give her to show her HOW you're going to love her for the rest of your lives is a LIE.

If you can't afford a big fat ring, then either go with something small and real, or talk together about CZ. Consider looking for something that you can add another band to later, after money's not such a big issue.

If money's tight because you're spending all your cash on toys, then you have other issues to deal with...but if you're just broke, then remember she's been dating you all this time knowing that...she's not going to expect you to suddenly turn into moneybags.

Answer 5

I've never seen anybodies marriage saved because of a ring! Bottom line is how you feel about her and how your marriage turns out can't be measured up in the quality of a ring. Don't get caught up in the hype. Explain to her how you feel and as someone else said a plain gold band would be just fine. Maybe after the wedding you can afford to get her what she wants. If she can't work with you on that then maybe she can buy her own princess cut!

Answer 6

From a woman that told her husband "It is not the ring it is the reason" I would say forget the CZ and go for a more inexpensive plain gold band.

Let her know how much you love her, how much you want to become a married man and devote your life and love to her.

But what ever you do DO NOT begin your marriage with a lie or even a lie by omission.

I do not see why she would be mad or get it tested but you need to be honest with her from the beginning.

Answer 7

I can't believe you even thinking or even asking this question. If you are inlove, then it's only fair and you love her enough to get her a real one. Why be ingaged if you are not ready? Are you this selfish? Of course she will be angry at you for giving her a fake one! Is best that you explain to her. Tell her you loved her and that right now you cannot afford to get her an ingagement ring, but if she is willing to wait that you will work hard and saved to buy her an ingagement ring. If she loved you she will understand. Atleast tell her the truth!

Answer 8

YES, THEY HAVE TO BE REAL! My hubby & I didn't have alot of $ when he proposed to me, but he got me a 1/4 or 1/3 c. diamond ring for my engagement ring. (I know that I cost less than $300, but that's the best he could do @ the time.) Now I look forward to getting my ring 'upgraded' every couple of years! But I will still keep the original!

Answer 9

If money is a problem, you have options like payment plans.
Put the wedding off until you can buy one.
I asked my husband to be, not to buy me a ring, because
as beautiful as they are, it is just a ring. It does not really
mean anything. The love you have for each other is all that
should matter. Having a wedding band is all I want.

Answer 10

I have been married for 2 years now and my husband bought me the "ring of my dreams" a year after we were married. Buy her a nice band, because when asked, no woman wants to show her friends CZ. She may smile and say it's OK, but in the long run she may harbor resentment and sometimes this feeling is unrecoverable. Proposal is fine for now. Marry her when you are financially stable.
