MemberHi bees:
at this point I know I’m not getting engaged any time soon, and of course everyone else is (exaggeration)
but anyway today I thought, “hey… I should just buy myself a nice ring” I work hard and I feel like treating myself
not a diamond or anything, but maybe another gemstone? anyone else done this?
MemberI wouldn’t wear it on your left ring finger, but otherwise treat yo self!
Memberlol no, for my right hand…
MemberDo it! I buy myself jewelry when I find something I like. You deserve it!
MemberI bought myself a ruby ring for a Valentines present last year, before I was engaged.
Member@bookworm88: ahahaha, I’ve been randomly yelling, “treat yo’self” since that one episode of Parks and Rec.
@alwaysamaid: definitely get yourself a pretty ring!
MemberI did it while I was waiting! 🙂

MemberAbsolutely!! As long as it isn’t a diamond engagement-y ring on your left hand, go for it! Everyone deserves something pretty…I’ve bought myself many right hand rings over the years!
Member@tea: yes! it has been my go-to line since that episode. “pizza for dinner? treat yo self. that weird sweatshirt off ebay? treat yo self!” my friends and I joke that we’re on the college-version of treating ourselves, since it mostly consists of little caesars or actually buying new pants! (grad school students are poor.)
MemberAbsolutely. I bought myself a diamond RHR several years back and lost it. I’ve since replaced it. Whether or not you’re engaged yet is irrelavent. There’s no rule out there that says a grown ass lady isn’t allowed to treat herself with something beautiful. 
Do it!

MemberOf course treat yoself! (I love P&R) But I will warn you. I did something similar when I was dating my ex… I wanted this bracelet for Christmas one year and even though it was pretty cheap (under $50, and I didn’t want anything else) he pretty much said no, he didn’t want to spend that much on me, and it was because a few weeks later he dumped me. I bought myself thebracelet, and although I like it, it holds very bittersweet memories. Don’t turn this ring into a bad memories ring.
