That is hands-down the most pretentious thing I have ever heard on these forums. Furthermore, if you are so well-to-do, then why are you coming to a bunch of strangers for advice on a life-long decision?
If thats true...to gloat?
Which only makes me laugh harder.
Another piece of carbon sold for more than its worth to someone who thinks itll buy him the happiness of her. So sad that DeBeers marketing has worked so damn well this past century.

You both apparently didn't read any further into the thread to see why I said that.
This "reading further" practice you speak of, isn't followed by most MacRumors board members. Furthermore, some even "read further" but just don't pay enough gosh darn attention! lol
Wise words. Going into debt for an extravagant wedding, ring and honeymoon is not a good way to start a life together.
Good point.
Sounds like a good idea.
Personally, I think that the meaning behind the ring is more important than the ring itself. Some have mentioned huge diamonds, carat and larger. The key is for the diamond and setting to match the lady.
Check out http://www.pricescope.com/idealbb/forum.asp?forumID=3
it is far and away the best place I've found to research what to look for in a diamond and where to purchase one.
Read about the 4 C's (Color, Clarity, Cut, Carat), and why you can be flexible with them and still get the same end results. Learn about what an "Idealscope" and "ASET" image are. If you do the research, you can find something much better (bigger/brighter) than a Tiffany diamond for a lot less.
If name brand, status, or numbers (wrt color/clarity) are important, go the Tiffany's route.

Let her know how special she is afterwards by telling her you got the idea for the ring from a Mac forum on the internet

Haha, I invented this idea myself from my own heritage ... But thanks.
Tiffany's is the name. It looks nice, and may be reasonably good quality, but a large portion of the money you put down is just for the little "Tiffany & Co." engraved inside the band.
Buy her an antique engagement ring and propose with that. They're not exactly cheap, but they're unique, without being 'custom'... This way also, she's got a ring that no one else can possibly have, which as nice as a Tiffany may sound any slob with enough money can go buy EXACTLY the same thing. Local jewellers always have some antique rings on hand.

If that is the case then the Claddagh ring and the spoon seems senseless. Or am I missing something?
I agree with Melrose.
If what you are saying is really true, then a ring from Tiffany & Co. shouldn't even be a consideration.
Time to re-edit the thread title again?
