If you choose a smaller than average size ring, you can be sure there will be a smirk from the salesperson.
No, the salesperson is not expressing joy for your newfound status.

As far as I know, 1 carat seems to be the average standard these days.
Either that or you use the 2 month salary rule of thumb, whichever is higher.

You don't have to impress her.
But if she shakes her head and rolls her eyes, then you might want to consider your choice of diamond.

hmmm as with most sales...definitely there'll be brainwashing and persuasion....testing how well you can evade her "proposals"
anyway...there're already so many different jewellery stores...sometimes you won't know if you have the right thing or not...hahaha...well...rule of thumb...enough money to still buy her meals and not go broke after the "investment" last i heard was 3 month salary but then again...hahaha....don't forget the "CPF"... -

Just to be safe, take the higher number.
I have yet to hear any girl complain her diamond ring was too expensive or big.

The risk is your new gf might might want an even bigger stone than your previous one.

Definitely...if you wanna get a 30k ring...2 / 3 months are insignificant right?
unless you earn 20 - 30k per month -

Yes, even diamond rings can be upgraded.
Not just your job skills.
