I sometimes wear fancy rings on my right hand and I'm not engaged yet. People very rarely ask questions and if they do ask if it's an e-ring I just say "No" and leave it at that.
lol..is it silly to buy myself an $1800-$2000 ring?

Right on Eliza!! Haha, I agree 100%. This is 2008, you can get whatever ring, and wear it on whatever finger you want. Who cares what someone else thinks???! I think its great that you are waiting on any guy to buy a ring for you (engagement or otherwise). Its about time women start realizing they can spend their own money on beautiful jewels, rather than pining away waiting for someone else to get it for them!
Ok ok, off my soapbox as well
I don't think it's silly at all.
You don't need to justify to anyone why you're wearing a so-called engagement style ring - as long as you love it, get it!

I wear a right-hand ring that resembles an engagement ring: it has a large diamond in the middle and 3 small baguette-cut diamonds on each side. People often assume I'm engaged, which is funny. Anyway, I personally prefer the look of engagement-type rings over the ones that are marketed as "right-hand" rings. If I could save the money, I would buy myself a big honkin' 2-carat ring! I would rather get something for myself with my own $ rather than wait for a guy to get it for me!
i don't think it's silly at all! if you want it and can afford it, all the power to you! you've worked hard and deserve it. not add at all!
It's not silly at all. It's your money and you can do whatever you want with it. Personally, I think it's sillier when girls depend on guys to buy their jewelry for them.
OK, you ladies convinced me to go ahead and set my diamond the way I want it, who cares if it looks like an engagement ring! Thanks for the empowerment!
I think it is a great idea to buy jewelry for yourself! I have been married 8 years to a great man, yet I plan to buy a right hand ring for myself within the next year. If he wants to buy jewelry for me, fine...But if I do it myself, I'll get exactly what I want and the sense of accomplishment (from the saving) that goes along with it.
Please post a pic when you do.
If jewelry companies ad execs were smart, they'd do ad campaigns encouraging women to buy "Empowerment Collections" for themselves.
It's not silly. Diamonds are not just for married people. I think that it would be a great way to motivate you towards your goals. If you can afford it and save up for it yourself then that's fabulous. If anyone asks you about it say that your are "in love - with jewelery".
