OK I'll be serious.
Buy her one costing a weeks salary, then when the baby is born take her shopping for an eternity ring and she can choose what she likes. Thats what my sister got and she seemed happy.+50 Xeno Geek Points

Firstly - congrats!
Secondly... be concerned with the type of diamond, then bother with the ring. I found the best bang for buck with the 4 'c's: Cut Carat Colour Clarity
Then went down to Hatton Garden (nr Holborn) and bought the diamond, and had it mounted in a band/support of choice. The competition is such down there that prices are v competitive. You'll get even more for your money if you visit S Africa - I mean, if you just happen to be popping down there, that is.
I went for a round-shaped flawless (IF), colourless (D), 0.7C, near perfect cut +/- .2 (High brilliance/fire).
I would recommend a purer, rather than a larger diamond - they hold their value, they're rarer, and the difference in the sparkle/brilliance is noticeable.
Expect to spend £2.5-3k.Comment

Why on earth would you care about that? You'll never get any benefit from that; only the bloke she leaves you for gets that benefit.Originally posted by realityhack View PostMy all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.Comment

Well, you may have a point there. I suppose I like to buy the best possible quality kit, at any given opportunity. And I got a bit geeky about diamonds when I bought Mrs RH's ring.Originally posted by RichardCranium View Post

I took the Mrs to New York to propose. Bought the ring in Tiffany cost a fortune. She seemed happy though, so so was I."See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment
