If my woman has a huge problem with that logic, then it’s a good sign we won’t last anyway.

Yes but it isn’t about the expensiveness of the gift, it’s about the thoughtfulness behind it.

This is pretty much it. Engagement ring is the least thoughtful thing you can do. Its as thoughtful as red roses and chocolate on Feb 14. Gee, you really put a lot of time into that idea. This is why so much concern is about how much is spent on the thing. Because literally everyone does it. The only way to stand out is cost.

Not rustled that anyone does it, but let's call it what it is.

Bands are all the same- just get a $200 dollar one srs. To me the difference in costs are negligible and quite frankly I don't miss the money I spent on it. She is quite happy with it which is all that matters anyway. Honestly it is probably part of the reason I don't get schit on when I dropped 3 grand on a bike last week, 4 grand in lift passes + ski setup the month before, and $40 grand on a vehicle awhile back.

Spent 20k. The ring is stunning.

If you don't care for these kinds of things that's fine. I thought it was worth the price.

Why does it matter whether it's artificially rare or not. Diamonds hold their value pretty well.

With respect to the band, a good band will run you around 1k. The cost of the engagement ring is all in the diamond.

Nope. Like I said I married only for love and my ex was broke when we got married. And I pretty much only talk to broke guys now. Doesn't mean I don't still love beautiful things.

To me the only use for money is to spend it for enjoyment and comfort. Partly in the future by saving and investing, but also partly spending some of it in the present while you're healthy and alive to enjoy it.

Not a lot.

Anyways, whether it's fine or not depends on the reason why. I think that spending a lot on a ring is ridiculous. But if you're just a cheapskate in general, it's not an attractive quality to have.

Fair enough, might need to stretch to $2k if I want a quality band with a very small diamond.

Lmfao why would her dad give AF about what the ring looks like? Regardless doing it for her parents isn't the reason you do it. You just do what's comfortable.

If my father in-law complained about how I'm spending my money, I'd tell him to spend his instead.
I reckon we could be friends IRL.

Yeah I've never had this conversation and never even had an engagement ring.

Diamonds are pretty no doubt, but gem stones and other rocks can be just as pretty. Also a small diamond isn't necessarily less beautiful than a large one is it?

Logically speaking…not something expensive. I wouldn't want my wife walking around with a $5000 ring everywhere merely from a safety standpoint.

The bigger the better for me lol. And I've gotten them as gifts but also bought them for myself with my own money.

In fact that's on my list of things to spend more money on if I were very wealthy. Real estate, diamonds, luxury travel.
