We've been together for so long now that I really want to get my girlfriend something special for this coming holiday season, and thought of buying her a gorgeous 3 stone diamond ring. Is that a good idea?

Of course she'll read too much into it! If you do not intend to propose to her, then do not, by any means, give her a diamond ring! I mean are you nuts?! Just try to imagine the moment you give the ring to her. Don't you think she'll immediately jump into conclusions and think that you're proposing?! Why do you even want to risk it? It will be so awkward explaining to her that the three stone diamond ring was just an innocent Christmas gift, and nothing more than that. Believe me, you do not want to start the "where is this relationship going" conversation… which by the way you're bound to get sucked into if you go ahead with this! Also, imagine the embarrassment your girlfriend will feel when she goes to work the next day showing off the diamond ring, having to ricochet all the "congratulations!" she'll be getting… I bet you could agree with me that this is a situation best left averted… At the end of the day this is entirely your call, but all I could do is advise you NOT to give your girlfriend a three stone diamond ring as a Christmas present. Just use your common sense, man…

If it's appropriate?! Why wouldn't it be?! What woman in her right mind wouldn't want to receive such a gift? Oh, I'm telling you - men like you are hard to come by… I wish my husband would buy me diamond jewelry on Christmas, just because! Seriously, I think it's so nice of you do want to do something special and buy her a meaningful gift… I'm sure your girlfriend will be completely ecstatic to receive a three stone diamond ring, I mean – who wouldn't?! The whole thing about "reading too much into it", I guess what you mean by that is that you're afraid she would suppose that you're proposing? Well, I don't think you need to worry about that , seeing as three stone diamond rings are usually anniversary rings, they're not a popular engagement ring. Usually engagement rings incorporate only one diamond called solitaire diamond rings. As long as you don't give her one of these then you're "safe", and I don’t think it should be a problem.

Getting your girlfriend a diamond ring could be extremely ambiguous, and could be interpreted very differently to what you intend. There's just no denying it – any woman who would be given a diamond ring will automatically think that she is being proposed to! Especially in your case, seeing as you mentioned that you two have been dating for a long time. In order to avoid an awkward situation that is bound to occur if you go along with this, I would strongly advise you to rethink your Christmas gift. You could still buy your girlfriend an expensive piece of diamond jewelry, basically as long as it's not a diamond ring. You have so many other jewelry options to choose from, like for example a tennis bracelet or a dangling pair of diamond earrings, or maybe even a gorgeous eternity necklace. I'm sure that if you were planning to buy her a three stone diamond ring, your budget will completely cover the sort of jewelry I just mentioned. Again, the most important thing to remember is not to buy her a diamond ring if you don't want her to read too much into it. I'm sure that this way your girlfriend will be extremely grateful and appreciate your efforts, and most importantly - you'll have the peace of mind that you're not sending mixed messages to her.
