I honestly don't think it matters. Long as you both love each other, then that's all that matters.

I personally think that if it is a good quality ring that has a good style and just happens to not be expensive the price shouldn't matter. All that matters is that you know that your future wife will love it and keep loving it for the rest of her life.
Again, I think this truly is simply a case of different beliefs. Her mom grew up in very different times than what we live in now. I'm not saying it is the "right" way or that our way is better either. But you don't have to be a gold digger to expect a pricey ring.
Maybe in some cases - maybe even in this case. But not in all cases. Expecting a pricey ring was NORMAL. Anything less made the woman compromising and the man stingy. Generalizing doesn't get people any where. There is no such thing as always and never and nothing is permanent.
The only other alternative to being a gold-digger is if her mother sees something "off" about him completely unrelated to the money situation.
But short that, she's a gold digger and expecting a $5000 ring is materialistic and shallow. In case you haven't noticed, we are in the middle of a depression. Maybe the guy has more important things to spend that money on, like food and rent?
Actually... we are in the middle of a RECESSION - there IS a difference. Moreover - no one is talking about a $5,000 dollar ring. I realize it isn't practical (I am married and never got an engagement ring and only have a wedding ring because I have a hand me down. In fact - we never had a honey moon either). You obviously aren't listening. You want so badly to believe that her mother's intentions are wholly bad. I don't know what your hang up is - but take it out on some one else.

Sorry to say ITs not the ring which is Cheap. Its your Mother who is Cheap.
Sorry !
Its a nice ring! =]
you shouldnt worry about the price,what matters is that it came from his heart and he wants to spen the rest of his life with you.
i think an engagement ring should be whatever you can afford!
Well I don't think that what your mom says should matter. You are marrying him she isn't, so it should just matter what you think not her.
god. who cares what ur mom says ur moms shallow. its the thought that counts. best luck to you guys! ( ;
only to a gold digger

Actually, expecting a pricey ring DOES make you materialistic and shallow...Sorry.
