This is gonna sound bad but. My GF is not smokin, shes pretty, but not smokin.(not high maintenance) She is not pressuring me but I can tell she wants it. We dont really fight, but when we do it gets resolved quickly. She works for the government and makes more money than me. Also this is my 2nd time getting engaged (not the same girl). Its a law that the ring is given in contract to marrage. If the marrage does not take place, then the contract was not fulfilled and the ring goes back to the buyer. I still have the first ring. If Mom would keep her mouth shut I would have given her the first ring.
We also just bought her a Honda 250 and she is learning how to ride. She loves it
Ouch! The old ring? Don't do it. Bad ju-ju.

That is an excellent sign. Likely a keeper! (Think years and years and years with the same person). If you can't resolve quickly, you are in for a rough ride.
You'll get alot of milage outta that purchace. I went to a jewler and asked to see his lose stones. I ended up w/ a 100 yr old mine cut (can see some tool marks which is character and history) 1.5 ct stone and it was 4.5k.
I spent 250 on my wifes ring... 20 years this month and still going. She lost the stone out of it and never complained.. 7k ? nope not me .. good luck though ..
