Proposing to a Polish Woman

[jdjenkins]

I've searched the forum and many other places online, and am having a hard time finding out the information I'm looking for. I'm in the process of searching for an engagement ring for my beautiful wife to be, but every site that I've visited in her local area (Krakow) online, seem to have much different styles than I'm used to in the US. Mostly with the diamond sizes being a lot smaller, usually about .50ct or less, and most seem closer to .33ct. Is this custom to have a smaller center diamond in Poland? Are engagement rings less extravagant than here in the US? I was thinking of getting her at least a 1ct., but I haven't seen any near that size. Am I not looking at the right sites or stores? Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Instead of searching for what everybody else is doing, why not get what you think your fiancée will like? After all, all of Krakow isn't in your relationship - it's just the two of you. An engagement ring means many things, but what it shouldn't be is a make-or-break deal for the whole engagement and the future of your shared lives together.
