Thanks Amelia G. At one point, I suggested plopping a CZ down and buying the stone I wanted later. BF is adamantly against it. lol. Only a diamond.AmeliaG|1309722700|2961214 said:Hmmm, thorny situation. Why don't you lay out the options to your BF just as you did here? It is sorta a joint process and I'm sure you two would explore all the options for other important purchases - like the house.
Since you mentioned that you originally wanted a 2ct diamond and he's adverse to upgrades, I'd like to throw out another option. You may want to compare how much you want the 2ct diamond versus how much you'd like a diamond for an engagement ring. If you find you really want a 2ct diamond more than you need a diamond for an engagement ring, you could suggest either foregoing the engagement ring at first and getting the 2ct after you're married and have enough money or getting a diamond alternative (colored gemstone, etc) for the engagement ring and saving up for the 2ct later as a RHR.
Good luck in whatever you come up with.
