I went shopping with my wife to be. Tried on a lot of rings. What she thought she liked, was not what we ultimately picked. Not what I would have picked either. Her ring is smaller, less ostentatious but very pretty. Women are constantly complimenting her on it.
We looked at Birks and Tiffany, but I couldn’t perceive any difference that would justify the substantially higher price.
Ended up getting the ring at a small jewellers. Haggled down the marked price by maybe 30%. Got a smaller high grade stone which looked nicer than larger stones of lesser grade.
Ultimately she picked something that she was proud of, that didn’t break the bank, and the whole experience made me proud of her for being much a smart shopper.
10 years now. Best decision I ever made.
