Quotedoes the "two months salary" thing still hold?
Some folks say 4 months is "appropriate". Doesnt matter. Its an absurd rule and no matter how much or little I make I dont let someone else tell me how much I "should" spend on a piece of jewelry.
Appropriate??!? For crying out loud.
Is it appropriate that I'm supposed to spend thousands of dollars to prove how much I love my wife?
Guess what? I have comitted to spending the rest of my life with her and never touch another woman again.
I think thats proof enough of my love.
Its a rock stuck to a hunk of metal folks.
Hideously overpriced as well.
Spend as much as you like but I'm not buyin into the crap.
Is my willingness to be ripped off by the jewelry industry a sign of my love?
I'll bet that men had little to do with the creation of this "rule"

Appropriate, schmappropriate . . . 4 months' salary is a huge chunk of change . . . I think regardless of what "they" say, that's ridiculous. If you want a standard, go with 2 months'. But who cares anyway? It's about the commitment.

Sorry lad My computer is acting up and I thought it ate it. I'm having vuja day.Quoteyou just said that Glen
Ummm, mine was about $150. I didn't want a diamond ring. I have a gold band with a diamond in the band (flat). I'm very careless with jewelry and when I did have a big diamond ring, I would scratch myself, tear my nylons, ripe my clothes, it would get caught on everything, it was a disaster for me.

Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
the price of a ring shouldn't matter. buy something simple, yet meaningful... take the extra money and go buy a couple of new rigs for the wedding jump.
It shouldn't matter what is spent on a wedding ring... When you are in love with someone, a silver band just to show you are married should suffice... In my first marriage I can't even remember what we spent on our rings but it didn't matter.
When I got engaged a few years ago we had ordered a 10,000.00 ring but that was because we had the money and it was pretty.. .... I would have been happy just to know our love was bound on our fingers. ... To know someone loves you so much to make the commitment to spend the rest of his life with you is worth much more than any ring.
Are you getting married??

My b/f jokes that he could buy me a cz or one of those new synthetic diamonds & I wouldn't know the difference.
I said as long as its shiny

There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear.

I know a lady very well that gets quite a bit of enormous, very glamorous CZ and loves to torture some female companions that are, well , that petty that something like that tortures them.
In turn when she wears her real stuff, that is mostly family heirloom, she swears its only CZ. She gets called on it because the real stuff has some minor flaws. Which ironically adds a false validity to the fakes.
Mine bought me a fat diamond for our engagement. It was a 1.78 carat and I think he got it for around $8,500. The ring setting itself was inexpensive, gold with a solitaire setting (a couple hundred bucks). His friend was a jeweler so I think he got a good deal on it. It would have probably sold for twice that in a jewelry store. Our wedding bands were simple solid gold; his was thick, mine was thin. Those were only a couple hundred bucks.
In retrospect, I definitely agree with the "it doesn't matter what you spend". As long as she is comfortable wearing it and you love her, I am sure she will be flattered and love anything you get her. I certainly didn't need anything that extravagant and I used to just stare at it with amazement that anyone would buy me something so beautiful. Now, looking back though, I don't think it really meant that much to him so beautiful or not, it is what is in your heart that really matters.

Well, let's see... her e-ring was $10K+, her w-ring was $3K+, my w-ring is $2K+...
4 months is ... her w-ring is plat w/1.5ct worth of VSI diamonds... I would have been hard pressed to spend more money on it and it not look stupid.
