How Much Would/Did You Pay For An Engagement Ring?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Wifes ring, won't say but you could get a nice new car for what it cost. My ring is just a stainless with one small enclosed diamond, cost like a grand.
 
I see it this way.... I want to die with the set we said "I do" to... 12 years ago I spent 3600 on her Engagement ring.
 
Do I suck for doing other things to fix up the house rather than getting my wife a new ring? I know she would love one, but I'd rather spend that money on other things that I think are more important atm.

What do you mean by a "new ring"? Are you talking about upgrading her old/original engagement ring?

If so...IMHO...upgrading an engagement ring would be wrong...and I would hope that she would feel that way as well. The original engagement ring is the original ring you proposed to her with. So it's a sentimental sort of thing.

If someone is only 18 when they get married they usually can't get a BIG $$$ ring. If someone is 50 years old when they get married...then a much more $$$ can be purchased.
 
I wouldn't want a guy to buy me one over $500 at the very most, seriously there are other more important things to spend $$ on - like your home and fish tanks of course.
 
He kept the dust that inhabited his wallet, and gave me his heart instead. we were pooor.
next year is our 40th anniversary.
*but, don't compare your relationship to others. it's your own wife who matters.
keep in mind, she's not a waitress, Sumo ;-)
If this is meaningful to her, and she is important to you, try to squeeze out happy giving.
 
Can anyone please explain to me what the point of a set is. I've racked my brain for many years and don't see why someone needs an engagement ring AND a wedding ring... Other than tradition at least.
