Giving very big diamond engagement rings isn't always a sign that she'll be saying yes. But it's something that at least every man should consider doing, if he has the finances to do so. Another thing that men should do is to spend as much time as possible picking which ring to buy. This is because engagement rings end up being cherished so much by the women even decades after it's been given. A man should let the woman know that he cares a lot about giving her an engagement ring that she can be proud of. In the end, it's not really the size of the engagement ring's diamond that determines how much it is appreciated, but rather, how much thought and love went into the giving of it.

Engagement rings can
even be family heirlooms later to be passed on from parent to child. When he grows up, he could be giving it to another woman; and so that's another reason why someone should pick the best ring possible if he can afford to do so.

But one shouldn't really go overboard and buy an engagement ring with a conspicuously big diamond on top. One should make sure that the worth of the diamond ring is still practical when compared to one's financial situation. It wouldn't do to have a really expensive diamond ring when it would mean that the couple wouldn't have any money left when they get married. A good rule that one might subscribe to when buying these things is to pick a ring that is as expensive as two months worth of the man's current salary.
