If she really loved you, she would have said yes even if u gave her a 25 cent ring from a vending machine. In REAL love, the material things dnt matter. All tht matters is ur feelings for each other. Apparently her feelings werent strong nuff.........dnt give up tho, you will find the right one!! Good Luck

There is nothing wrong with an engagement ring from K-mart if thats what you can afford but a lot of women don't think of k-mart as a place to buy an engagement ring. BUT if that is what you want to do what you can do is get ideas of what she wants and then go and find one you like from there or any where else and don't tell her where it came from. Its the symbolism of the ring that matters not how much or where its from.

Did she actually say no because the ring came from K-Mart? Then she is not the right kind of girl for you. I have no problem with a ring that comes from anywhere, but she obviously values status and image a lot more than you do, and that can be problematic. Good luck to you, your girl is out there somewhere...and you will find her.

Dude she is vain. No other way to say it you need a new girl. At NO time does it matter where a ring is from or how much it cost. It should be about love and life. And no it does not take a genious to figger this out.
Heck my fiance if fighting me so he can spend more then $100 and I said no to that so I don't have a ring and am happly planing the wedding. lol

K-Mart buys their rings at the same places all the other stores, including "Jewelry stores" do (same handful of wholesalers). The gold is the same 14 karet. Diamonds, however, are rated on a number of qualities. One of them is this hard to grasp and define concept called "luster". The diamonds in K-Mart rings are real diamonds (unless you bought cubic zerconium), but K-Mart doesn't tend to buy the higher end stuff that would be higher luster diamonds.
She is being petty and spoiled. This is what you can afford. What kind of wedding is she going to want? Can you afford that? If you see nothing wrong with buying the ring at K-Mart (and I don't), and she does, you obviously have different priorities and different philosophies on how you spend your money. You may well love each other, but perhaps you're not really compatible when it comes to marriage? I know, you are crestfallen and/or hurt that she said "no". You probably don't want to hear it, but if that's how she feels, then she's not the girl for you, so it is better that she said "no". :-(

if that's her main concern, buddy - be glad you found out now - who cares where it came from - that shouldn't matter - a ring that is chosen with love as a token of the relationship, is just that - a piece of metal with something shiny in it - what matters is the symbolism and what the ring stands for. If she doesn't get that - you'll have a hard time ever pleasing her.
it's the thought that counts???

She sounds like a snob. Why is she picking out her own ring anyway? A diamond is a diamond. The promise and sentiment should mean much more to her than where you buy it from. Sounds like she wants to brag to people how much it cost, where she got it from, etc. Can you afford to marry a girl like that ?

first off, you can tell a cheap ring right off the bat, and it's a sign of what's to come. You think so little of her that you bought her either a bunch of chips worth about $.50, or a small, visibly flawed, off color diamond? What an insult! For the same money, you could have had pieced together a beautiful ring that could have had sentiment with a different stone, and been original and the envy of all her friends.
My hubby gave me a beautiful 1/2 carat padparasha pink sapphire solitare for my engagement ring, I've never been so proud! And wouldn't trade it for the biggest, whitest, most flawless diamond out there! It's original, and says he loves me enough to think about this, and will continue to think of me in the future! Also says he's practical, as it was a fraction of the cost you'd expect to pay for similar sized and quality diamond.

You can get a ring at reasonable cost and have it be special but Kmart is like saying you didnt put thought into it and didnt take time to save a little money. this ring is for the rest of your lives!
