- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

About $1200 back in 2010. Got a nice enough ring she'd feel proud to show it to people, but didn't pay any more money than I'd saved up since I decided to propose.
To keep costs down I got a 'perfect' diamond with an occlusion you couldn't see without a jewelers loop, and had sapphires on the ring to add interest without increasing the size of the diamond.
I'm happy with the decision still 15 years later.
I did something very similar. I think mine was $2400 in 2013.
Amazing!!!
