How much would you spend on an engagement ring?

I spent about $2800 for my GF promise ring. Was looking at a .94 with setting and everything was about $9500.

I would imagine my g/f would rather have something like a parcel of land for 10g, instead of some ring....

you can get something really nice for about 2k. Blue Nile is great place to buy, stay out of the mall

She already has a nice house with a big *** yard. Dont need a parcel I have lots of land. But thanks anyway. 0.94 E VVS1 quality costs.

Every guy I've ever known who went overboard on an engagement ring ended up divorced. One stands out more than the rest. He bought a $2000 ring, took his girlfriend to a romantic dinner, and proposed. Keep in mind that he was in the police academy at the time, and $2000 was a huge amount of money to him. She turned him down flat, took him to the jewelry store, and showed him the $8000 ring she wanted. She told him that until he could afford that ring, he couldn't afford her.

The note on the ring lasted 4 years longer than the marriage.

My wife's engagement ring cost a couple hundred dollars. It was something that she'd seen at the store and really liked, so I bought it. She still loves it all these years later.

The minute she said that, I'd kick her bish *** to the curb. The thought > the price, although I wouldnt spend a couple hundred dollars on something that is supposed to be a once in a lifetime thing for a woman.

It started as an argument in the office, I didn't have anyone to post pics of then and don't now.
