From my observations, it seems that the more high maintenance and insecure the woman - the higher it’s going to cost you to make her feel satisfied with the ring. Fake women like material things, a real woman who’s in love with you won’t care what you spend, just that it’s meaningful. Once that’s sorted out, spend whatever your comfortable with and make sure she’s happy with it.

I believe the gentleman's rule of thumb is 3 months pay. This is a legit answer.

3 month's pay is so silly. Oh man.. What if you made like ~150k/yr gross for example?
You really gonna buy a 40k ring if you only make ~150k/yr? Crazy.

Also, @those that are saying if she wants a nice ring, she's high maintenance - not always true... maybe she just likes nice stuff. My wife would have been happy no matter what, but she also appreciates nice things

Correct, that only applies if you have a job, not a career.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Never tell her how much you spent, but make sure she 'accidentally' sees the appraisal value, the difference in those prices should be significant beer money in your pocket

I had an ex that said she expected the "3 months pay" rule to be followed, and she knew I was making in the 150k area. Once said she'd turn down any less. Russian girl.
Kicked her to the curb.
Years later I proposed to a much better woman. Ended up spending 3 months salary on my own accord. Still married.
I can eat more hot wings than you.

If you work at fucking Tim Hortons 3 months pay is like 7 grand and I can't imagine spending that on a ring.

Don't plan to get married but depending how fat her fingers are, anywhere from $10 to $30k not a problem

The 3 month "rule" should not be followed.
I think you've got your answer, spend whatever you're comfortable with and your gf will love it.
For the record I've seen no correlation between size of diamond and degree of high maintenance. lol

My fiance was actually the one who told me about it as I didn't want to spend out my ass for an engagement ring, nor did she want me to (great woman).
Her ring looks amazing, and is very durable. You really can't tell the difference unless looking under a microscope.
PLUS its 1/10th or less than the price of an equivalent diamond.

It really is true. I, for one, cannot identify a diamond vs moissanite with the naked eye. Perhaps somebody who deals with them daily could, but I sure as hell can't.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

You know people shit on women a lot for the expensive rings, but in a lot of cases the guys are a significantly part of it.
Engagement ring spending is as much of a dick measuring contest to guys as anything else. Most girls I know dgaf about ring size or cost, but I know lots of guys who want to drop big money on one. As if they want to cement their position as having nothing else to offer in a relationship aside from a bank account and last name.

Sigh on costly rings:
- The customized ring is going to be worth a lot less once purchased
- 50-50% chance that you will get a divorce and not live happily ever after
- The comparison with other women will only be shortlived
- If the wife gauges your love based on how much you spend for a single ring, then worth evaluating your worth to her
- It could literally go down the drain, in a swamp or a lake in a split second and be gone
Seriously I don't understand the urge to spend so much on such a worthless piece.
