I’m thinking about proposing to my girl, however we both think diamonds as a standard is stupid and overrated, we both prefer much more colorful and comparatively cheaper gemstones like rubies and sapphires, but I’m having trouble finding a good place for that, I’ve never done this before, any ideas?

Dollar Tree has a lot of budget options in the toy section.

Just get a tattoo so you can’t lose them. Unless you anticipate a divorce.

You should always get a prenup even if you never ever anticipate getting divorced.

I got married with the belief that marriage is a one-time thing that you do forever. In fact, I did that twice!

Great site. 100% real diamonds. Grown in a lab. Cuts down on cost and ethics violations, but will just look like diamonds.

Some cities have a jewelry district, and those are very worth going to. The one in downtown Los Angeles is drivable for me, and I’ve saved huge amounts going there. You can also usually get someone to make something custom for you there that doesn’t cost a lot more. I’ve bought loose gems and had them set a few times and the cost was less than half of a mall jeweler for something much better quality.
