re: How much did y’all spend in your wife’s engagement ring?

One of the many reasons I married my wife, well you can probably roll it into one, she's low maintenance.

I don't even remember what I spent, probably less than $2k. She picked it out, there was never any money limit given or anything, that was just the one she picked out.

About $1000 on my wife . 1/2 carat. I didn't give a shite what the clarity was and neither did she. I bought an an antique platinum 3/4 carat with 40 small diamonds, good clarity 20 years ago for $5000. Ex fiance and I split 6 months later. I will never spend close to that on jewelry again. The pawn shop next door to the jewelry store offered me $50 for it. I walked into the jewelry store and told them it was worth nothing.

I learned my lesson. Jewelry is a complete waste of money.

Little under $400.

This is one of those fun threads where all the people that call posters "poor" if they drive a car less than $100,000 come out and call anyone who spends more than $1,000 on an engagement ring idiots.
