To each its own. To be honest... I don't care much about the ring , because it does not symbolize a long marriage,a loyal partner, or a supportive partner.

I'd rather my man pay the the ring cash down all at once because I hate financing meaningless stuff. So if all he could afford at the moment was a $300 ring then I'm good. We don't need those $5,000+ expensive rings until we are married 10+ years. Use that yo put a down payment on a home. I can understand why a woman wants a nice ring but its not that serious to me. Do I want a ring? Yeah...but a $3,000+ ring is unnecessary.

No, I would never even thought about it. I remember my ex got me this diamond heart necklace and when he gave it to me he gave me a certificate and the appraisal papers and I was like :dwillhuh: I was just surprised and excited to have it. I trusted him and what he said it was. If you can't afford something just wait or get what you can afford.

I would be more upset if he lied and said it was $3000+ and I found out it wasn't. Than it being less than that from jump.

I know exactly how much my husband paid for my engagement ring because I found the recepit the same night.

Honestly I didn't give a damn. Just knowing that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me was enough. We went and bought our wedding rings together. He wanted to splurge on something big while I wanted a simple diamond band.

It's not the ring but what it symbolizes..

If it turned my finger green :troll:

My main point is about lying. I'm not going out my way to find out but my experience is the truth always comes out. If any thing ever happened to where it comes out he lied I would be very upset.

If I got a ring made out of precious metals from another planet that wouldn't make my finger fall off I would love it :wow: That would be so cool.

honestly people be paying thousands for rings that have a resale value that 70% less than what you paid. returning it and reselling it are two different matters.
engagement rings are a profit hustle of its own.
beware. especially when you have a materialistic other half who only cares about style and looks. not what the ring means.

That is nothing but the truth. Its scarybhow people think that they must have the flashiest items and etc. Yes, you have to make sure that your significant other is not materialistic and understands investing/saving. There are people that can't make a pay check last because they feel like they must always spend. That is crazy.....
