My husband actually found my engagement ring. Before we ever met he use to do a newspaper route. One day he found a 10k diamond ring with a silver band. He kept it for when he finds the right girl. (So he says lol ) he said when he met me he knew right away the ring was for me. Right now my mother has it in texas for safe keeping.
3 months wages would be $10,000 + Sorry buts that's way too much money for a ring. I make about 55,000 a year. 3 months wages is way too much and I havent heard the 3 month "rule" since the 80's. Plus 3 months is 1/4 of a years wage. Like wtf! And I'm a girl!
Also, it was in the 40s and 50s when the razor companies needed more money and decided to scheme to make woman think they needed to shave their legs. You're still falling for that scheme now. Cheap ring plus hairy woman of you're going to go back in time with your rules.
Not going back in time, just realizing that millions of diamonds sit in a vault to keep supply low and demand high. It makes me sad that when some (not all) women say they are engaged the first thing people do is inspect the ring and judge both the man and the woman.
The cost of a ring should never be made to be a sign of someone's devotion. 3 mos. salary; I would rather go to Europe for a month.

I totally agree if my husband had spent that much on my ring I honestly would have asked him to take it back get something cheaper. use the rest toward the wedding (we paid for our own wedding)
So the question isn't "will you marry me?" It's "so do you want a diamond ring or to go country hopping in Europe for two months?"...as I hold the airline tickets behind me and prepare to kneel.
True, but leg shaving was also not common before the 1920's ...So no you don't need to buy me a diamond, but by that standard, I don't to to shave my legs, underarms or anything else...just saying

Plus, if you add up the cost of shaving supplies over a lifetime, maybe I SHOULD get a diamond ring of value equal to that.
to be completely honest, the regular, diamond-y rings look shitty to me. i mean, have you tried to comb through your hair with that? bet it gets stuck.
Who wants a diamond. Diamonds are common and boring. Give me something with color in an amazing setting. But then again, I don't want to get married so it doesn't really matter.
