Again she really isn't the materialistic one, he is. And he wants to show off. Rightly so I guess(?)

I don't know anything about diamonds sorry

30-40k for a rock... hmm....

A 4 carat princess cut should look huge, and for the budget, you should be able to find one with good color and no noticeable flaws (to the untrained eye). An emerald or asscher cut will cost more (or be smaller) and may not look quite as large because of the chamfered edges, but they will have a much better sparkle due to more facets.

He wants to spend $30-40k JUST on the diamond.

ANY help would be awesome and greatly appreciated!

Thanks again!
Andrew

Psychiatric help would be my advice.

DE, that sounds about right price wise from when I was buying. I did not get a 2.7/3.11 karot diamond, I got the misses a 1.0 almost flawless and was in just below 10k for the diamond. As you move up to the 1.5 to 2.0 area you start to add 3 or 4 times the price just for a little bump in size. I think at the time a 2.0 was going for just over 20k per the price sheet.

Is CA one of those states where he legally gets the ring back if the whole deal falls apart before the wedding?

LMAO! If God willing that happens, I'll sacrifice my car, my job, my guns, and everything in between to give him the $40-45k back (after the wedding band)

And honestly, I don't know where he'll get married, and he lives in TX if that makes a difference(?)

I'm not sure about the rules in TX. Mario Williams is suing his ex for the ring back at the moment. There are places that consider it a breach of contract. He should have it written into the pre-nup. That's a lot of coin to drop on a rock.

Chuck33079 · 08-06-2013, 06:58 PM

Ok, that's better than the alternative.

DEpointfive0 · 08-06-2013, 07:02 PM

I can't wait for synthetic diamonds to really take over, it will break the price of diamonds worldwide

jpritche · 08-06-2013, 07:07 PM

It is his money, and he should be able to flaunt it how he wants. I say we stop asking WHY he wants to spend it and focus more on what we can do to make sure he doesn't get screwed...

That's why the ring needs to be mentioned specifically in the pre-nup. If he's making the kind of income that's been hinted at in the this thread, a pre-nup is a requirement.
