how much have you guys spent on wedding rings? the big proposal is coming up and the rings I've looked at are 15k to 17k and i thought it wouldn't cost more than 5k! I'd rather buy a cobra! fml

Well if she is wanting a 15k ring she can kick rocks. [patriot]

Anything can happen. I personally don't see the need to spend more then 3,500.00 on a pice of Jewry. Unless you make 100k a year that is.... Then I'd bump it up to 10k tops. [patriot]

I think the rule of thumb is 2 months of your salary = cost of a proposal ring

Sad that dedicating love to someone involves spending money like that. And don't tell me it don't. Bring your to be wife a $500 ring and see how that goes.

i lucked the fuck out, i spent $40 bucks to have the one diamond in her grandmas ring that fell out and the "family heirloom" was given to me so i could propose free of charge, the ring itself was worth 12k +/-, i wasnt trippin, although i did tell the bitches (did mention she my ex-wife now) parents that i had 8k and something picked out, but they were very insistant and wouldnt have it any other way, really though, it was gonna be a moisenite, and my shop was getting a car lift....ill be damned if my woman is gonna have 10k...12k...15k...or even 5k... sittin on her hand when she can have a stone (moisenite) that even those diamond detectors have a hard time distinguishing between shine exactly the same and cost a fraction of the price..id say a car or dwn pay on a house or somethin you both can enjoy is way better idea!!

Well know wonder the rings are so much LOL. You start getting into 2 ct and your price is going way up.
My wife's is under a 1ct and she's fine with that. When you get passed 2ct if it has any big flaws thy will be a lot easier to see.... Hence the reason for the higher price.

Are you looking at 3 stone rings by the way?
