Love / Proposing to my Polish girlfriend [33]

Hi All

I'm planning to "bling up" my girlfriend soon and make an honest woman of her. She is from Poland and we are going on holiday in November. I thought this would be the ideal time to propose. The question is, is there an expected amount that one should spend on a ring in Poland? I've always been confused by this and have heard mention of 1-6 months wages should be spent on a ring. To be honest, I'm not tight but this is beyond me and I don't want to bankrupt myself over a ring. My girlfriend isn't money grabbing so I don't think she would expect much but at the same time I don't want to be cheap. Help? Would appreciate your thoughts.

On a serious note where are you based?

I live in Poland. I haven't really checked out the prices here but I am going back to the UK soon so could always buy it from there if it's cheaper.

Unfortunately I'm not going to Turkey either so that's not an option.

Thanks for the advice everyone - this helps!

Thanks Beazee, really useful

Supposedly, a nice engagement ring should cost in the range of a three-month salary

If this is right, then I won't be proposing this year (or next).

this is propaganda issued by the diamond conglomerates!

Thanks, makes me feel better

you can always go back and upgrade the diamond in a few years. Go for the style of the ring (with space for a future upgrade in mind?).

Good tip, nice one

Yes, the emotional value is the most important value. If she always remembers the passion between you two when she looks at the ring, it's worth more than any money you can spend on a ring.

Yep, good enough for me.

Next challenge, what do I do about ring size. Girlfriend wears earings, bracelets but not rings so I can't "borrow" one for comparison. Anyone got any tips as to how I can find out her size? Is it worth just hazzarding a guess or opting for an average size?
