just bring her to the nearest shop and pretend to look for rings. ask her to try and later calmly ask the retail assistant the size. while she looks at other rings, take note which design she likes.

P/S: Don't let her try those expensive ones la... later u buy the cheapo ones, ppl will disappointed.... potong stim only.

Seriously ? Just get her a wedding band until you can actually afford a nice ring in the near future laugh.gif Dont need to get anything fancy if your tight on budget. You can even walk into Lazo, thou many doubt their quality and design.

My uncle gave his wife a basic ring when they got together, it was only until their 20th anniversary which he gotten her a 2carat ring as he was making good money then.

why don't take proposal and engagement rings turn into 1 if you have tight budget? You just have to buy another ring for yourself afterward.

Else, you gonna spend more if wanted to buy engagement ring again.

Hi everyone, I am planning to pop the question officially to my long time GF of 9 years. I know she has been patiently waiting for me to ask her the question.

I have zero knowledge on gold/diamond/platinum etc.
Yes I tried to google and find out, but there are way too many things to absorb.

First and foremost is my budget is rm1.5k ( saving up for a house to surprise her soon)
Because there will be another ring from my side during our official engagement, thus I need to prepare my budget for TWO rings.

Which retailer should I go to?
Possible to get a diamond ring with that budget?
My GF can only wear gold(that is what she told me few years back as she is allergic to other type of metals, white gold/platinum I am not sure)
I kinda want to get the ring within a week.

And what other factors that I need to consider before I do the purchase?
All advice and comments are welcomed.

RM1.5K budget, i suggest you propose with an Airpad.
Get her diamond ring after when u can come up with bigger budget. RM5k - RM7k

The only good thing about this whole thing is. She has told me repeatedly not to spend so much on ONE ring. AND I am not specifically going for those gorgeous diamond rings. As long as the ring is nice and meaningful.
I know for rm 1.5 k...I can't get a decent diamond ring. We Indians are more towards gold anyway. I really appreciate all the advice I have gotten so far.



Is it possible to get a nice platinum ring with some normal rock with it? I will definitely tell her it is not the purest of stones, but knowing her for 9 years, I know she will be very happy as long as I get her the ring.

The wedding ring's budget is around 4-5k, coz I feel it as much more important. This one is for formalities la biggrin.gif icon_rolleyes.gif


p/s: I don't think spending around 20-40k on one ring is a good idea unless I get paid a lot....i mean A LOT

As I said, you may always go for a cheaper alternative smile.gif I got myself and my gf a couple ring from Lazo which cost both of it less then 1K, and in our opinion, it looks magnificent. Dont keep your options to only the big labels. Sometimes the unname gold shops also carry good designs and a lower rate wink.gif

Normal gold ring is already 1k+... just imagine the size of the diamond 200-300 can buy.. need magnifying glass to see, and impossible skill to set the diamond.
