Peoples’ relationships with material objects have evolved over the ages. Thankfully, the new generation believes more in creating memories than buying objects. However, that doesn’t mean proposing without engagement rings is ok. But, proposing with cheaper or fake rings is quite common amongst youngsters. Believe it or not, couples that start off as “cheap” or “tight-fisted” tend to perform better in the long-run. That’s because their focus isn’t on the material wealth they accumulate, but the journey they take together.
Why More Couples Are Proposing with Fake Engagement Rings
There are many subjective and objective reasons for the popularity of “fake” engagement rings. The primary reason is financial. Some situations justify spending less and when men have to meet other financial obligations, they can and should avoid the high costs that come with diamond or gold-plated engagement rings. Thankfully, budget constraints or financial concerns don’t last long. So, couples can easily upgrade their ring in their future anniversary celebrations. Is it ok to propose with a fake ring first? Absolutely! As long as men plan on upgrading in the future, their brides-to-be will be more than happy to make this small and temporary compromise.
Allow Her to Choose the Ring in the Future
Using a high-quality fake ring for proposal is much better than spending four-figure amounts on rings that don’t please women. Women have very specific tastes. They may act happy or surprised with the diamond ring their partner gives to them while proposing but deep inside, most of them think about getting a replacement. Why not go ring shopping together and use a “fake ring” just as a symbol of love on the proposal day? Given that “fake” diamond rings made of Moissanite, White Sapphire, or Cubic Zirconia look and feel just as good as diamonds – this option makes absolute sense!
