My SO and I discussed that engagement rings shouldn’t be expensive.

What should I look for in good value rings? Lab grown diamonds? Fake diamonds? gold? white gold? silver? platinum?

Also, what kind of cut? Moissante vs Lab grown?

    This, it ruins the surprise a bit but also ensures you’ll hear a “yes”

    Edit: also I went with a brilliant earth fake diamond ring, but you could save $ and go for moissanite

      You can always also get a cheaper sentimental ring and go out ring shopping together for the official one.

      That way you keep the surprise and she gets the ring she wants, plus another ring and a nice memory.

      IMO, an agreement to get married should be a mutual discussion, not a surprise. My wife and I also decided to get married by having a discussion and then went ring shopping together. We went with a blue topaz. Super pretty and didn’t break the bank.

        Yeah, but a lot of people come to the agreement that they’ll get married without an official proposal date getting set.
