Good idea thinking about it.

Not so good in reality.

This (engagement, wedding, etc.) is a starting point for a very long journey together.

Don't start big (as in a large diamond), because if you do, your fiancee will be expecting bigger and better in the future.

I am not saying that this is set in stone (pun not intended), as people have different expectations....but

It is possible, that if you buy her a large ring now, the subsequent gifts after may have to be pricier and better.

On the other hand, if you start small... you have a lot of room to grow for your long life together.

If your 2 carat ring does not stretch your budget, and you think you can give her more (in terms of material things AND real love when married), then of course, by all means, I heartily clap you on your back.

But if 2 carat is in the middle of your budget or at the top, IMO, it is not a good thing to start right-off with a 2 carat 10k to 14k ring.

Good luck with the exciting times!
