I want a Tiffany engagement ring. If you can't afford that then we weren't meant to be (;
No but in all honesty I do want a Tiffany ring. I have earrings more than $500 so I think a ring should be more pricey. And if you aren't financially stable enough to afford a nice ring then maybe you're not ready to be married yet.
Can't believe I got down voted! I've heard a ring should be equal to three months salary I think it is.
& if matters at all, I can't wear sterling silver because I'm allergic to silver and all other cheap metals. I like the look of silver though- but white gold tarnishes. Thus tiffany is the obvious solution
I am fully aware! I don't spent $500.00 on earrings - they're given to me. $600.00 ones actually. $500.00 is set aside for handbags and jeans and other things. You're right though - marriage is about the religious sacrament - two virgins being unified under god to create a family. I'm not a virgin. I'm not religious. And I don't want a family. Would be hypocritical for me to care about that wouldn't it? I believe you can just be together without a legal document to prove it
& if the man of my dreams insists on wedding me - I want a rock. I don't think there's anything wrong with that either. You expect me to wear it for the rest of my life, it better be worth something. I live in a place where any idiot can graduate high school -or not even- and make 130,000.00 a year easily. Everyone drives $60,000.00 vehicles and has a million toys. A ring isn't asking for much
It depends. If it was a ring I liked and it was going to be sturdy and last, it could be less. The thought behind an expensive ring is that your man is making a commitment. He's not going to spend $1000 just to run off on you. If he can't afford an expensive ring, I won't care. Like if he made 6 figures and paid $200 for a ring, then I'd be offended.
I think $500 is too much lol. Honestly I actually like sterling silver and you can get really nice rings for really cheap. If my boyfriend and I ever get married it will be family and close friends at someone's cottage on a lake and we will have a bbq and will all get drunk lol.v
No. I don't want him to spend all of his money on a ring. It could be used so much better. So around $100-200 would be good. I don't like bling, at all. Only silver. If he spends more than 400, I will go ballistic on his ass.
I don't really like the massive flashy rings. I feel a lot of the time when a guy gives these he's giving it thinking 'ok, I need to buy the most expensive one that I can' and 'everyone needs to see that I can buy her this ring.' I'd much rather have one that may not be as expensive but is given out of love, without the essence of 'show'.
Yes, this is how I would feel as well. It doesn't even have to be a ring - if the guy is constantly buying me expensive things, paying for expensive stuff like the spa or massages, then yep I would think he is trying to buy my love.
I can honestly say I wouldn't care, it's just a rock.
I'd rather have a cheap rock and an amazing husband for the rest of my life than an expensive rock and a crappy husband who's always compensating with materialism.
I paid 1100 (some 1250 USD at that time) CHF for my wife's engagement ring back in the day and she didn't like it :D So I guess, as long as you match her ideas, wishes and hopes, it'll be fine - just make sure the onion ring has cooled down long enough, boiling oil leaves horrid traces.
I wouldn't care I'd care more about being with the guy I liked knowing we were happy. If he got me a really expensive ring I wouldn't mind but I'd feel it was way too much to spend on an engagement ring. I'd be happy with any kind of ring a cheap one or whatever. I'd appreciate more the fact that he wanted to marry me in the first place more than having a ring on my finger.

It really depends on what he can afford. If he's making 6 figures and decides to get me a $500 ring, then it either has to be symbolic or special in some way, anything to show that he's not THAT stingy.
I'd be perfectly happy with a few-hundred-dollar ring. I actually don't like when guys spend a lot of money on me at all. But all I ask is that the ring looks nice.
The price doesn't matter as long as I think it's beautiful and the gems are real. Of course the more expensive, the more bragging rights you have lol but it's not as if points get knocked off because he found a good price.
Would you be offend if a guy bought an engagement ring or wedding ring that you yourself could barely afford even though he has the financial muscle to buy an even more extravagant/expensive one?
While I have friends with 3+ carat rings that are amazing, I would be happy with a one carat, round cut, in a platinum setting. But under $1000 I would help him buy it if he needed the cash.
It may sounds shallow, but yeah, I would not be happy. I want to marry someone who will get me a nice ring, even if it takes him years to save up bit by bit.
I think guys think too hard lol, trying to figure how a girl is thinking I could careless about price it just has to be pretty and quality , but that's the way I feel about all of my possessions.

Tiffany's sells white gold
They make their engagement/wedding rings out of platinum
Is you spend 500 dollars on earrings you aren't ready to be married yet either. There are more important things about a marriage than the ring.

Lol! That's exactly how my brother's wedding was!

Doesn't matter to me, my ring was 65 dollars I used it for my engagement ring and wedding ring. Still wearing it.
Besides the fact that I don't plan on ever getting married...
If a guy pulled out an expensive, flashy ring...
I'd feel like he was trying to buy me.
Yes, this is how I would feel as well. It doesn't even have to be a ring - if the guy is constantly buying me expensive things, paying for expensive stuff like the spa or massages, then yep I would think he is trying to buy my love.
I dunno.. for me, right now, its the ring..
I don't expect things to be bought for me...
But I am, and have been, poor enough to take what is offered...
perhaps if it was extreme, like flying me out to Dubai or Japan on a regular basis...
I can honestly say I wouldn't care, it's just a rock.
I'd rather have a cheap rock and an amazing husband for the rest of my life than an expensive rock and a crappy husband who's always compensating with materialism.
yeah... its just a rock.
rocks are just rocks. stones are just stones. no rock and stone are holy. no water is holy. no land is holy.
@lachrymalmplant, and really if you know where most diamonds come from, you'll feel like an a**hole throwing a fit over not getting a big one.

If you focus more on the price of the ring than what it represents, you probably shouldn't be getting married.
My ring was $40. I love it.

If any ladies see this
Would you be offend if a guy bought an engagement ring or wedding ring that you yourself could barely afford even though he has the financial muscle to buy an even more extravagant/expensive one?
I wouldn't even need an engagement ring at all, it's just a symbolic thing anyway.
yes. you don't need tools or rituals or certain spells to pray.
How much does love cost ?
Answer this and you'll know.
Love shouldn't come at a price. It.should be given freely
That's what I implied.
