Damn right! We'll be out to eat or something and I will say "damn i can't believe I gave $4500 for that little thing..." and we still gotta go pick up the matching wedding ring and it's gonna be $1500! So $6k on her left hand and that's exactly how much I have in my motorcycle haha. Retarded.

She has said many times that she never ever expected me to pay that much for a ring. We've been together 2.5 years and I have never bought her a birthday or Christmas gift, nor has she bought me anything. We had a talk long ago and I suggested we just go out to eat somewhere nice or do something out of the norm instead of buy material gifts. We buy our own **** if we want it anyways, I've always hated the idea of gifts.

When I was deciding how much to spend on a ring, it was difficult for me to justify being overly cheap about a ring when I've got $20k worth of toys sitting in the shop.

Damn.....shoulda neva gave yall nikkaz money!!!

...too rich for my broke ass! :-[

Talk about a cheap ass and lucky, I was able to pass on a diamond that was passed down through 6 generations of my family. The diamond was FOUND in the street way back when and has survived ever since. I had it placed in a setting and she wore if for the first 10 years and on that anniversary I bought the **** out of a new one. Could have been a huge down payment on a buggy, but had a ring built for her and has been worth it for sure. I've seen too many friends buy some fancy high dollar nugget just to see it hocked for cash a few years in. Words to the wise, buy what you can afford, and afford what you can buy.

I think my wife's was 7k for 1.5 carats, and it has bands on each side. I got it at zales on a black Friday deal I think

Tony owns several diamond mines in Africa is what I heard........ ??? ;D

Exactly! Dumbest thing I ever witnessed...people spending thousands on a little ring. When a woman says I want something expensive and exotic, I'd buy her a Tiger...at least its useful... :****:

Sam's club. I have heard good things about their jewelry department

What do you guys find to be an acceptable amount spent on an engagement ring.

10% of one years bring home pay.

Is the max

If that's the case. Tony and Patrick would have to buy a ring that cost in the 25000 dollar range!

 

[pholmann]

I bought my one and only engagement ring and luckily it was when I was more poor than I am now. My woman doesn't believe in replacing an engagement ring. (Thank God)!!! There will never be another ring or Mrs. Holmann regardless of how this marriage goes.

Lol.....fuuuuuuuck thaaaat!!!

 

[dwa2469]

I have heard traditionally its 3 months of your salary... I can tell you, I did not spend that much and the wife would not let me!

 

[Dirt700]

I have always heard 3 months salary, I didn't do that. I just got the one she picked out. If for some reason I ever have to buy another, I'm not spending near that much next time. If I'm thinking about getting married a second time, someone kick me in the nuts :****: My wife mostly wear a qalo silicone ring now, unless we go out and eat or something, an the high dollar one just sits in her jewelry box.
