Ladies, Would you marry someone who proposed to you with a fake diamond engagement ring..
LoL. No. Not unless I wanted an equally fake marriage. I think an engagement ring is a token of someone's feelings for a person, the depth of those feelings, and the sincerity of those feelings. Giving someone a fake ring shows how little they value you. (Unless they're so poor they can't afford a real one in which case it's up to the recipient if they want to be wedded to someone in that financial situation.)
Yes. I would marry someone that proposed to me with a $ 2 Walmart ring if I was madly in love with him.

No. Especially if it was under false pretences.
As long as he has real meaty shlong...
Probably if I was in love. But who does that?

I would rather have nothing than wal mart ring!
It says he is stupid redneck with no sense of dignity to tell you I love you but I am a deadbeat who can't afford a ring!
My daughter bought me a ring at school for $ 3.50
So... Figure it out for yoirzelf

I think it's the gesture that counts...A fake ring is fine as long as he tells you it's fake. Maybe he loves you and can't afford a $ 5,000 rock. Maybe if you say yes, you'll get a real one when finances improve. Why should the ring matter? That's just shallow. Would I want to marry some gold digger who rejects me based on my budget? Hell no.
And I'm a leo 😛
No, I dont need a ring before I would take a fake but I question getting married to someone that can't save something for a token of a ring. I mean me buy a pearl or something as a sign but I don't want fake. Also, I want someone that knows how to set a goal and knows how to save for it.
Maybe it's just me. I've never liked or worn rings anyways. I could care less about an engagement ring. Save the money for a fabulous honeymoon!

Lmao... @ this thread.Who cares about diamonds. #Overrated
I think I would be more bothered if he tried passing the fake diamonds for real ones.
Otherwise... Idc
If I could choose.. I'd like something more personal... Vintage... Family heirloom.. Type of deal. Sapphires are beautiful...
Thats me too, I don't want a diamond, I want something else and something that you think represents me.
No that's wack as hell .. That would make me feel like I'm not worth the real thing , no thanks

If I was really in love I wouldn't care what I got. That's how you know it's love if someone proposes to you and you r focused on the ring you're not in love and shouldn't be getting married. But these hoes out here will marry you just to say they married
If the dude lied about it, I'd have an issue. Be upfront with me and I won't care - lie to me and I have a problem. I've always said I want a wooden ring IF I get married anywho...I could care less about diamonds. I'm a Sag...current, long term, bf is a Gem. He knows my stance on all this and we're both not really about marriage anywho. Been going strong for 6 years now.
I don't really like diamonds
😐
But for the sake of the question I'd accept anything nice from him like a nice gemstone ring even something CZ with sterling silver if he was broke if I truly love him.
Just don't play me like oh its a diamond when you know it's not though.
Don't you dare lie to me!!! I will fuck you up.
Libra/Cancer
I have jewelry from him so far and it's simple and very nice quality. He didn't have to spend a fortune and I love and appreciate it more than anything
I'm anti-marriage so I would assume he's just pulling my leg.
So it used to be women were traded like cattle from their fathers household to their husbands. Their new husband would pay the 'bride price' to their father. Literally bought and sold. With the advent of women's rights purchasing a bride was no longer in vogue, marrying for love was. With the emergence of the middle class after the second world war engagement rings with diamonds became a sign of status.
I'd rather he invest the diamond money into our future. Lets take a long honeymoon, put down a healthy down payment on a home, etc. Don't go into debt for a cold hard rock, lets spend that money on experiences we both can enjoy and that will make our relationship stronger.
So yes, I don't need a diamond from a man for him to convince me he wants to spend his mortality with me.
Plus I'm a swimmer. I can't do clunky, chunky rings on my hands. It's annoying.
I'm a Pisces with a Gemini
Not if he LIED about it.
If he was *honest* then really, who cares?

This ^^^
Not to mention the whole ethical/moral dilemma surrounding "blood diamon" trade. Actually, it's not even a dilemma to me personally as I much rather go with a laxurious peach colored Morganite. 🙂

If they told me that it was fake, yes 😄
Do I know about it? I would prefer it. I'm not into over-hyped blood diamonds or so-called ethically sourced diamonds . ?

Hm marry me,??
Idk never crossed my mind nothing to flashy, just something that you actually took time and effort to look at one and think about me actually.
What are you saying check your rings to see if they are real or not? 5 years later.

No, if he really loved me .. the ring would be real unless he had a valid reason like "i can't afford the real diamond right now but i'll upgrade soon"... then i would accept & honor it.

Allow me to worship that sexy body of yours for the rest of our days, but hey, here's a 25cent plastic ring you get in those little machine thingy's to show how much I value you. 🙂
Never thought of the ring as my 'value'...
That's stupid!
Ring was given as a sign of belonging to someone so others should keep their paws off!!!
But my value— Shit!!! That's degrading.
A man and a woman are planning their future together. They have X amount of money to spend on things they deem important. Two options:
1. Use most of the money to pay off the mortgage sooner. Small amount on the ring.
Or
2. Use most of the money on the ring. Take longer to pay off mortgage.

who needs a fuckin ring when you can get matching tatts
Knowing you I thought you said
Matching tits...
Of course ...... what a shallow question.
What a shallow person to put that kind of expectation on a guy to where he has to produce a ring for you to examine it's value as a determination of his worth.

No significant other
However I would agree to marry them with a fake ring if it was a spontaneous proposal and they were going to replace it at some point.
I'm not superficial by any stretch of the imagination, however if I was going to propose I would save for a decent ring and would like my SO to at least try to do the same.

Pay off that mortgage quick and get me a better ring when WE can afford it, if it's necessary!

Diamonds, unless the quality/clarity is top tier, do not retain their value very well. Whereas property gains equity.
I have a client in Santa Monica who purchased her home 19 years ago for 319,000. It's worth over 1.5mill now.
Spending 10-30,000 on a diamond that depreciates over that 19 year period or make 4xs that amount by investing that money in a morguage. Status verses your future. Easy choice.
