Sawcheen (are you from OK btw?) and hurray, thanks a bunch for your input. Except for engagement ring, what are some other 'popular' jewelry items? Kinda like, "must have", not necessarily in terms of them being required to be made of diamond but in general. I know men traditionally wear bracelets and rings, but what about women? ring, tilahari, earrings, bracelets, what else? And how feasible is it to have ring/tilahari/earrings/bracelets made of diamond? Would 10k suffice? His mom (my aunt) already has quite a few gold jewelry (typical Nepali ladies' mindset/savings, of course), he believes. so these would be addendum (for the lack of better word)
