ODogg's Love Life Thread

[ODogg]

Can any of you guys out there who have some experience in the proposal/engagement dept. give me some pointers on where to go to get my girlfriend an engagement ring? I went to Kaye's Jewelry tonight in the mall and it seemed pretty kosher and all but then got home and googled them when I got home tonight and all I see are reviews trashing them.

Any suggestions?

Albert's

Jarrett's

JC Penny

Walmart

Sears

All depends......Me personally I prefer the smaller local dealers.

Spoiler

He went to Jared

I'd recommend the places Gotmadskillzson suggested. Those places are about the only places you can go to get a ring in Nashville outside of local dealers.

You still in Richmond, ODogg? Or were you there in the first place?

Either way, if you're in Richmond, there's a place downtown called Bachrach's that I got my fiance's engagement ring at. As I already had a diamond (she wanted to use one of the diamonds in one of her mom's wedding rings), it was relatively cheap.

If not, you can pretty much disregard my advice. But I tried, dammit, and that's what's important.

Either way, congrats on taking the step, buddy! First, kicking the *** of cancer, and now dedicating yourself to your lady. A lot of life changes happenin' for you, man!

Tiffany's has nice rings.

Yeah I would say Tiffany's. But then again, I have never shopped for an engagement ring. Congrats of having the girl you want to propose to. All the best to you man.

I have had no problem with Kay's. It's certainly not a discount store by any means. My now wife loves her ring and still gets compliments daily on it. Btw, don't cheap out. Get the lifetime protection package if you go with Kay's. It's like $120 and that gets you a couple free inspections every year as well as cleaning, which you'll need. Also, while you are still paying for the ring it has a warranty for replacement. Also, check out eBay bc people are always selling their Christmas bucks on there. I got like $900 worth for $120. Every little bit helps when you are buying an expensive piece of jewelry.

This. Despite their terrible commercials, Kay is great. And like Indian said, ABSOLUTELY get the lifetime protection; you get it cleaned every six months, and if the diamond ever falls out, they replace it, no questions asked.

Got my girl's ring at Robbin's Brothers. Really nice store, but I don't think they have many B&M stores.

Blue Nile is good for a huge selection too.

BTW congrats ODogg!

I've never shopped for engagement rings but sometimes the best thing to do is go to a smaller dealer. The best when it comes to the big ones is probably Kay.

Dude you're getting married?!!? Noooooooooo.. JK man. Congrats. Welcome to the club.

The smaller dealers had the more unique pieces when I was shopping around years ago. Don't discount them in your search.

It is also possible to buy the diamond from one place and a band from another to create a really unique ring. That is what I did and the difference is negligible. Sometimes a lot cheaper.

I went to Kay also. My wife loves it and other people compliment on it a lot. I would just go to a lot of different jewlers around you and find one you like at a price you can afford.

ODogg, congrats man on the big steps lately. I remember years ago you talking about struggling to meet a lady. Then find out you got cancer, your mom and her smoking issues, and then you meet someone. It is good to hear you have gone through the rough patches and come out in a better place. Congrats brother!!!
