Tradition dictates that it is supposed to be one month's gross salary.

X2 I can play alot of poker for that and a few lottery tickets.

Guys pay a grip for a ring.
Meanwhile the guy gets a ring valued at a little over a happy meal.
That ain't fair.

I paid 5k for a gift ring. :-\

Damn - that's a lot. :-X
When I bought my (future) wife's engagement ring I didn't know the supposed rule and only paid $700 at a time when my month's salary was about $1800.

Damn Debeers, a mofo didn't have to do none of that, until the diamond industry put it into women's heads.

I got my wife's ring at Tiffany's.
I could have a new Camaro in my driveway instead :'(
-
I paid bout 8k for my wife's ring nearly 4 years ago
-
10k for a ring? more reasons not to get married :D
-
Why do you have to have one? Doesn`t make sense. I guess people still marry morons as there is certainly not a shortage of morons. I will never understand the incredibly stupid things people do and the customs/traditions they follow for no apparent reason whatsoever. ???

Go for the new Mustang 5.0, the Camaro is a pig...Yep then they leave they take it with them.
no justice

No, I would just rather invest the money. Wouldn`t that be a better gift. "I started a mutual fund for us" instead of "here is a ring".

Agreed its all because someone said years ago you got to do this.

You should be able to do both. ;) Is a Calorie a Calorie?? ;D

I paid 1200 for my future wifes ring. It is a matter of love and all that sappy shit lol. Ive offered to upgrade/trade or we for her, and the though makes her queezy. She will always love her 1200 dollar ring, that means more than any 50,000 dollar rock ever could, because shes a good woman.
Were coming to our 10 year soon, and were going strong. Dont belive when people tell u there are'nt any good woman out there. U just have to know were to look. 8)

$10k

"I started a mutual fund for us" instead of "here is a ring".
How romantic.
-

I think I would still go for the Challenger. Something about it I like.
That new Mustang is pretty damn sweet though.

who would consider engagement without already having a mutual fund? How sad.

Engagement ring 20k
Wedding ring 4k
Lifetime of suffer-ring, priceless.
-
I wouldn't know because i'm not a schmuck who falls for that whole "marriage" thing that society pushes on you
-
Well, MOST women would appreciate the ring no matter what you spend. If it is a more smaller ring, fine then in 10 years after marriage, upgrade to a bigger one. But that's my opinion

ya know see I don't get this shit. No offense "yo quiero" and not trying to single you out because I'm not. If men are that fucking miserable..then leave

That's fine. I'm sure you will still be banging hot chicks when you get old and have man-boobs ala Jack Nicholson and not dying alone ;D

Problem is newom, it won't get better until women get better---at doing their jobs, picking better men, which means better women. Until this happens, more miserable men.
-
That's fine. I'm sure you will still be banging hot chicks when you get old and have man-boobs ala Jack Nicholson and not dying alone ;D
I appreciate that
I honestly don't think i'll make it past 45
Then again, I might make it longer than that. Can someone tell me at what age Richard Chamberlain died?

Men will usually upgrade to a younger one after 10 years.

Do you know and trust anyone that owns a Pawn Shop? The right person can get you a very sweet deal.
can we see your sweet deal?

Hmmm i don't think you have any clue what you are talking about once again. Rings and particularly certain gemstones rings are a store of value. Often the investment pays off big time e.g. think of jewellery with gold or platinum (well if you break the ring down then the value of gold has gone up huge in last 10 years). If you buy the right gemstone often you will see huge potential rewards with your investment.
I am involved in the gemstone industry with a side business and i have to say gemstones and diamonds as well as other precious metals are probably some of the best investments in the world.
Think of it this way, the way CB's keep printing money then i would rather own something easily transportable and a traditional store of value such as precious metals and gemstones than fiat currency. I would rather have gemstones which can be carried to other countries doing much better than owning assets which cant be sold or transported in a scenario where Country where assets are stored is facing a depression.
Certain gemstones have increased well over 1000% in real terms over 10 year period. Again you have to know what your doing or involved in the business to have the best results. But then again same goes for finance which is my main business.
As for paying for a ring, yes i would definitely pay top dollar for a ring as long as i can afford to do so. I am not going to spend on something i can't afford and is not within my budget. I don't have fondness for diamonds but i love gemstones. Certain gemstones are stunningly beautiful, a great investment, a great store of value and highly transportable - plus i love to see my lady wearing beautiful jewellery (that is an educated hard working girl who can appreciate the gift).

-

Traditionally everyone is sold sapphire, ruby and emerald as the big three because historically these have always been emphasied as a serious investment and rarity.
In-fact some of the best looking stones are things like Tanzanite (Zoizite) - this comes from one place in the world so far and comes in huge sizes. In my business i trade alot of Tanzanite and have even had eye and loop clean 100 carat pcs. Tanzanite is often said to be the stone Sapphire wishes it was - as the color is insane in the right light and the stone is often free of any inclusions unlike sapphire. It is however a much softer stone.
I also like Green garnet or Tsavorite which is another beautiful stone and too me has far superior color to emerald.
These are still known as semi-precious stones but Tanzanite AAAA color retails for well over $500 per carat. Green garnet comes in smaller sizes and it is hard to find nice clarity piece, the price of this stone is often based on size and clarity of the piece.
Other stones which are being promoted big is red spinel right now, this is the same stone in Queen Elizabeth's crown jewel is not a ruby but a 361 carat red spinel.

I know the value of Jewelry as I have family in the business. They owned several Jewelry stores for nearly 100 years now. Did you forget that the Diamond District only exists because of Jews?
Also, I myself have a very large diamond ring which I traded partially with cash to a friend for my 1959 Cadillac Coupe DeVille. The value has certainly gone up, but I can`t help thinking I wish I kept the car instead. :-\ I would have a hard time finding a buyer for the ring if I were to sell it.
Also, my grandmother had a Diamond ring that was around 90,000 dollars when my Grandfather gave it to her in 1950. When she died in 2004, she left it to a Jewish charity and as far as I know they are still looking for a buyer. They tried to auction it, but nobody met the reserve price.

Our rings were less than $600 each. Beware of anyone who wants you to spend big on a ring or other bling--particularly at the start of a relationship. I consider that a serious red flag!
If you want to spend big, save that for your ten or twenty year anniversary. Then the recipient will have earned it! ;)
-
not to high jack the thread but what about weddings? how much for a wedding?
i had a buddy and his wife spend 40k on a wedding and that didnt even include the honeymoon... :-X

That is about right. ;) I have been to some that costs even more then that. :) The women's parents pay for it and us men will pay for life. ;)

these two paid for it themselves for the most part, his parents might have chipped in a bit but I seriously doubt hers did...
40k screw that thats a down payment on a house...LMAO why not buy a house and just have a big party?
I will never spend 40k on a freaking wedding...
-
Bay those are beautiful, had no clue you were taken
Tony to me that is nuts, also nuts when women spend more than 5k on a dress, but that imo
Have a small ceremony, great honeymoon and invest the rest

WOW Bay they are beautiful, you are absolutely right wait for 10 or 20 years and spend some money after that. So wise.
Also I agree with Adonis, this whole tradition just because society's norms make people conform to them like marriage and the expensive ring, you are foolish to just fall into that and the huge expensive ceremony, a whole industry is built on taking the fools money who do this.
Two years later they are divorced and financially screwed.

are there any stats on gay marriage vs hetro marriage ratio of how many divorce? I would venture to say the gay men have much longer lasting and satisfactory relationships.

My Aunt's fav is tanzanite as well.
I don't think I've heard of spinel..just did a search..some beautiful stones.
[/quote]
I do love blue sapphire and red ruby but the color, size and clarity that can be achieved by Tanzanite has always been impressive to me.
Most people i met tend to love Tanzanite once they have owned a very nice color piece.
Here is some of my current TZ collection (color completely lost on this camera, and using 20mm gauge).

what is the point of all that, you cannot do anything with those stones except look at them and hold them, would rather use the money for something that would actually would be useful like a house or car.
-

hahaha yes yes...the next step in evolution is being gay ;D lmao
are we going to become a species of asexual reproduction? oh wait thats right thats what we EVOLVED FROM!!!! ;)
homosexuality has no rhyme of reason broham, its not the next step in evolution for it to be the next step it would have to be beneficial...what are the benefits?

Well in an earlier post i said i have a side business in gemstone and jewellery. This whole lot will be sold Monday as well as other sapphires and green garnet lots i have. I am not in the business of holding onto this much stock without any return.
Net gain after all costs will be probably be about 25%. Other pieces which are more spectacular are currently being put into jewellery which will be sold via my brothers jewellery shops in the UK.
I do however have bigger pieces in stock in the UK and a private collection of the very best pieces which i have collected in the last year. As i said these are viewed as investment and the prices i got the pieces at were near all time lows. Usually we hold onto the spectacular pieces until either an enquiry comes through where we can achieve much higher than 100% gain. In the end it tends to all get turned over with a year and half. The real collections that i guess always remain is the pieces that go too my girl and family as gifts and future investments.

We could have gotten diamond studded rings. Neither of us were interested in that crap. I secretly laugh at any man I see wearing lots of bling of any kind. ::)

I am friendly witha Jeweller/Diamond merchant.
i asked him one day what was the most expensive ring he sold. I expected to hear something like £30,000
He said £127,000. I near shit. Apparantly the stone itself cost something silly like £70,000.
This guy is a legitimate multi-millionaire though.

In-fact Dublin and other cities in Ireland have very good market for gemstones unlike UK which is mainly conservative diamond. Most people don't know but diamond is not rare stone at all and in-fact there are many mines for diamond all over the world. Diamond has and always will be combination of great marketing and originally Cartel supply control by the De beers group
I have seen in Thailand and in New York some Natural untreated Ruby stones worth well over 1million USD. Most expensive piece i ever had was $60,000 - 120 carat Tanzanite piece. However, my brother and lot of dealer who specialise in diamond, sapphire and ruby have had very expensive pieces, well over $200,000 - all depends on the piece and current market price however.
-
I was amazed tbh that someone could spend that!
-
I paid $75 for my wife's ring ( wedding band ).

All you need right there.

Well mainly the market for high price pieces is just dominated by super rich and often they are always repeat customers.
A lot of people who buy from our UK shops are usually wealthy women who will just keep adding to their collections every couple of months.
You have to remember, gemstones and diamonds may sound frivolous and crazy value, but honestly when you work with them on a day to day basis you actually have real joy seeing a beautiful piece. Again many will also hold as investment just like art collectors spend millions of dollars on certain paintings which could be done by a 5 year old.

Destination weddings are great. Everyone gets a reasonably priced vacation and the wedding doesn't end up costing a fortune. Sunset beach ceremony = beautiful!

You dumbfucks are exactly that for spending that kind of cash on a broad that you have over 50% chance (if you're in America) of getting a divorce....funk dat....I spent 500.00 for me and my wife and we've been married 11 years....Now that she's put up with me so long she DESERVES an expensive ring.
I was in Tanzania in 2008 and have direct access to AAA tanzanite. Yes, it's only found in some caves there and no where else on that planet... I bought my wife an expensive piece as an investment.

Are you saying its best to go with a temp to perm type marriage?

buy the ring from the Gold Souk in Dubai - if you're willing to haggle you can score some killer deals
you can literally fly there, buy a ring, and fly back for half the price of the same ring back home

expensive rings in the beginning of a marriage is a gross misappropriation of funds...way to start out in the hole or with money that could have been used on important shit.
-
Why do you have to have one? Doesn`t make sense. I guess people still marry morons as there is certainly not a shortage of morons. I will never understand the incredibly stupid things people do and the customs/traditions they follow for no apparent reason whatsoever. ???
I like this way of thinking...

What's up with the gay little purse thing he's got there? Why does he have that?

I payed about $1600 for both the engagement ring and wedding band combined. Custom made though so noone will have one like it unless they happen to miraculously choose the same design, etc.
I was originally planning on not going over $1200 as I agree that it is not the smartest thing to go overboard and put a strain on the marriage by being in debt for a monster ring, etc., but it is very hard to find anything nowadays in that price range.
-
Curious to what carat weight you got your Tanzanite piece and price you paid for it. Thanks Wiggs.
3 carats a little over $1,500...AAA quality....A fucking great deal....Never got it appraised here in the U.S.....yet. I know the prices have been rising like crazy. This is why I bought it. Get you AAA tanzanite while you can cause when it's scheduled to be finished mining in 2019....then no more...

This gold-digger needs to have her feet in concrete. After that it's easy to trow her of the bridge into a river as food for fish.

I spent about $100 on an engagement ring and the same on a wedding ring. Fuck paying a fortune for something so trivial. If the bitch loves you, she'll be happy with a Pepsi tab pull ring.

Hint: Don't overpay because you'll just have to get it cut off her finger in two years anyway. :D

Why do you have to have one? Doesn`t make sense. I guess people still marry morons as there is certainly not a shortage of morons. I will never understand the incredibly stupid things people do and the customs/traditions they follow for no apparent reason whatsoever. ???
You are actually right
Now please explain why you drop money on very expensive shoes for yourself, Mr Double Standard

Been thinking about this myself. I'm not a cheapskate by any means, just got back from taking my lady on a week long vacation down in Playa Del Carmen which wasn't all that expensive, but the point is, I don't mind spending money once in awhile. I'm thinking about an engagement ring, and have been looking around. I'm always suspicious about the rule of thumb things because when an industry makes up a rule or ocassion, like Secretary Day (Florists) and 1,2 or 3 months salary (jewelers) I tend to ignore it. my gross monthly is about 10k, but I can't imagine spending 10K on an engagement ring. I've seen very nice rings that any woman should be happy with in the $1200 range. Even then, something tells me $1200 for a ring says "Hey everyone, we are planning to get married one day" seems a bit silly...

You make a good point, however if you are a prudent saver you should have no problem paying at least 10k cash on a ring.
Also for alot of women they have been raised and conditioned by their friends/family to expect a certain level of quality.
DO you think Big Mal's sister would settel for anything less the a 25k rock?

One girl told me she expects 3 months salary! ??? :o
I expect to dish out 10-15k depending on what I am earning at the time.
Not sure about the States, but three months salary is about right in Europe

I'm pretty good at saving, and I have no problem paying for a 10k ring. My problem is I think for me, it's ridiculous to pay 10K for the ring. Maybe it's my upbringing, coming from a family that didn't have a lot of extra money. Maybe it's because I can recall hauling hay in the summertime, or working in a grain silo in 100 deg temp for $5 an hour, or maybe its just because I don't personally see the significant importance of an expensive ring to signify my love. Hell it could be that I truly am more of a cheapskate than I think I am. I guess these days I'm more of the Dave Ramsey kin of guy where a paid off mortgage and car with no debt is more of a status symbol than the Lamborghini.
I think what will happen is I will have a limit in mind, much like you do when you start house hunting. By the time I actually buy, it might be a little more than I planned. I can see "upgrading" 10 yrs down the road, but initially, both of us having been married before, I can't see spending more than $1000 to $1500 on an engagement ring. (starting to see why I'm still not on my first marriage as I type this...)

WTF?? Buy what you can afford. My wife and I have been at it now for 11+ years. At the time, I could comfortably afford a very nice .5 carat certified ring for 1600.00. She loves it to this day. Could we have gone bigger, sure, but why. Also, we had a very reasonable wedding....fucking retards who drop loads on a ring and wedding are exactly that....fucking retards!

I bought my first and only ring in my life for my girlfriend I had when i was around 19 or 20. I just got a Zales card with a $10,000 limit. I bought two things. A Seiko 600m dive watch and a $4000 ring. When we broke up a year or so later she threw it and it fell down the sewer drain and never seen again. My watch lasted about 15 years

There you go I bet you wish you had the 4k back. Wonder how much Goodrum spent on a ring for Queen Vissy?

probably not much. I'm sure the only ring he has bought Vissy is a cock ring. About the ring, at the time I went crazy. I remember spending a couple hours with numerous coat hangers spliced together trying to reach it and I even put super glue on the end of it and still couldn't get it. Yea I was a little pissed. The funny thing is we ended up back together for a very short while after that. She was my first blond girlfriend.

Ive been told by my mom and other old school women, that 1.5 carats is the minimum. Anything less and the person is being cheap. And trust me, I know cheap, I know of people who go the utmost extreme to being cheap.
Whether or not how long you have been married means nothing. A person could be married for 25 yrs and be miserable, yet the other partner is said to be "happy", or both are living in misery, yet one is delusional in thinking that the over is happy. Not saying this is you.
11 yrs ago a $1,600 ring was EASY to be had as we were not in a recession and we were still feeling a lil of the .com money.

Any chick that says she "expects" something has earned herself a one way ticket out the door with it hitting her in the ass.
