Am I Being Cheap If I Buy Her A CZ

I have seen alot of really nice cubic zarconia engagement rings. Would it be cheesy of me to buy my fiance a cubic for her engagement ring?

You know how your lady is

You know how your lady is personality wise. Just go to her and explain to her how you feel regarding finances. She should be able to understand. I know the proposal has traditionally been a suprise, but this a new day and age. You two can discuss some affordable options to getting a diamond, and the surprise will be how creative you are with the proposal. I wish you the best, your choice doesn't have to be a CZ , you could also go with a gemstone (sapphire, tourmaline, ruby) as great alternatives.

Do not buy a CZ if you are

Do not buy a CZ if you are on a budget look into a moissanite it is much better if and when you order I heard you must ask for the whitest one. I have seen them they are really really pretty.

What exactly do you mean

What exactly do you mean "cheesy"?  It would be more like disappointing.  Well, actually, I don't know what your financial standing is (maybe you shouldn't be getting married if you can't afford a ring), but I guess if you two are two young love birds with not a lot of money, AND SHE KNOWS that youre buying a CZ then its OK.  Its more of an issue of her not knowing that would make it kind of a bad move.  But if you two are just so in love that you have to get married ASAP, and she doesn't care if you tattoo a ring on her finger  - then go for it man!  But if not, then don't. Does that make sense?

Czs = OK if she knows its a CZ, and gave you the A-OK beforehand

CZs Not Ok, if she thinks its real.

Why dont you look up synthetic diamonds...those are real diamonds that cost less because they're grown in science labs.  I read articles about them on ringenvy

OR, why dont you just get her a band?

I do not think so.  I am

I do not think so.  I am looking at rings to get an idea of what I want and they are all CZ.  I don't feel that a ring is needed at all much less a diamond if you cannot afford it or simply think it is unnecessary.  While my significant other is having more trouble changing his mind, I would be just as happy with a CZ.
