No, not necessarily. It's more about listening to your partner, buying the ring style/ design they prefer, and getting a high quality piece. Quality doesn't necessarily have to break the bank- unless you want it to.
Agree with this. Also, don’t go in debt buying a ring. You’ll have plenty of expenses down the road (wedding, home, furniture, honeymoon). the “rule” also makes less sense the more you earn.
Just get her pregnant and tell her you’ll buy her something nice someday when you have money. Then- when “someday” comes, realize that that money could be spent somewhere else so much more effectively, and the don’t buy the ring at all. (By then she’ll be wearing the wedding ring anyway.)
That’s what I did.
In retrospect, the cost of raising a child was probably way more than the cost of an expensive engagement ring, but we got a really awesome human being out of the deal. All a ring gives anyone is a pretty finger.
lol no, that's literally the biggest scam and honestly any guy falling for it is woefully uneducated on the scam and a woman demanding it is probably bad news.
I believe in upgrading rings as years go in the relationship...Marriage year (maybe 3-5k) after 4 years, move up to 12k, after 8 years, move up to 25k and etc.
I am assuming it because I don't believe income should stay stagnant. I don't care if it's $1m, if you made that 10 years in a row and never found a way to make more, that's lazy to me.
I also know I'm difficult to deal with, the least she would deserve is a 50-100k wedding ring for being with me 20 years or more.
No, but DeBeers is laughing all the way to the bank when this old marketing ploy keeps getting attention
exactly
Get cubic zirconium and tell them it’s diamond. Will never know the difference
Not true., women often get rings appraised afterwards out of sheer curiosity or peer pressure to see how much it’s worth
This is a marketing ploy to drive sales volume and pricing. To make the math easy let’s say you make 1,200,000 per year. The suggestion above is that you would spend 200-600K on a ring (not the wedding just the ring). When you put it in that context, it sounds crazy don’t you think? Figure out what she wants (size, cut, color) and figure out what you are comfortable spending (this part should be done together as the cost of the ring will have a direct impact on the joint $$$ available post nuptials) and make a decision you are both comfortable with. I know some guys spend big because they want to show it off or are comfortable with it, but let them do them and you do you.
