Hi! My boyfriend and I have been talking about getting engaged lately, and he's asked me about engagement rings so he can get a feel for what I like.
I really like the 3 stone engagement rings (such as this one [Link](Mouse over link to see full location);) and I was wondering... are those actually considered to be engagement rings, or are they more for anniversaries and stuff? On some websites they are under the engagement category, and on others they are under anniversary. What is your opinion? Is a one stone ring more appropriate for getting engaged?
Also, I really like the rings at Tiffany's, but it seems that they are a LOT more expensive than other jewelry stores. For example, their CHEAPEST ring with a "one carat" diamond is 10,000 dollars. Around how much do they cost at other places?
Thanks so much... if you can't answer both of my question, just give one of them a shot! Anything is better than nothing! :) THANKS!
As for buying a cheaper ring you have tons of options, Tiffanys is out of most people's league. Usually if you shop around and look for the sales, yes there are diamond sales, you will find something ALOT cheaper. Also if you have your ring made and chose the diamonds yourself and the settings you not only will save money but have something truly unique. I had mine made to resemble the Tiffany ring and it was less then a 1/4 of the price.

Traditionally, most engagement rings are one stone but the three stones are considered engagement rings as well. My mom's engagement ring is three stone and came with another band that was all around diamond (she has a different one as her wedding band). So, if you like three stone ones, then go for it.
