Ouch is right, lol. Does anyone here still believe in the three month's salary rule?

^^If that's the case, I guess I can start looking at those $12,000 rocks. :D:cool::o

you ain't done...LOL!

But these are nice....whew!

Lol, I'd be right there with you:):cool:. Honestly though I don't think anything that cost that much would look good on me. I went and tried on rings (just for fun. Has anyone else done that?) one time and 1/2 carat to a carat would look just fine on my hand because I have small hands and skinny fingers.

I am with you...I was just melting in my seat asking God "When is it my turn"..smile! Being that my fingers are long and thin...I want a 7kt ring..LOL! Shoot HE says " You have not becasue you ask not"...well this sistah is asking..LOL!:D

NinjaPoodle, I LOVE those rings!

So tasteful, those rings are. I'm still a loooonnng way from getting one, but you can always dream.

My salary, or his? Either way, YES!

I think that three month's salary is probably too much for someone to spend on a ring.
For example, say the man makes 50K (nice, round number), then wouldn't three month's salary be roughly 12K? A 12K ring is a sizable rock - with nice color and clarity too. I think that's too much to spend on a ring if he only makes 4K a month. Come on.

A friend spent 10K on his fiance's ring but he makes almost 200K a year (one month's salary). Another friend spent almost 30K on his fiance's ring - but again, he makes almost 200K a year (1.5 month's salary). But even these extravagant purchases are not 3 month's salary.

I think that I'd be scared to walk around with a 10K ring on everyday. Shucks, what if I lost it.... Yikes.

^^I feel the same way; if I were going to get a $10,000+ rock, I would be looking at better color, clarity, and cut, rather than bigger size (I don't think that I would want more than 1.5 carats). Also, I would not want my would be husband to spend more than, maybe, $15,000, regardless of what his salary is.

Ummm.... I think you need to point me in the direction of these men that are making 100K-200K per year!! LOL!

Soror, look within our field. They will be all around you. Just attend your next bar association networking event. They will be all around you. Watch out for the gov't ones. They don't have any money. LOL.
Yes, I said it!

Ring with a 2.95-carat Legacy-cut aquamarine and round brilliant diamonds in platinum
http://www.tiffany.com/Shopping/Item...+6-ri+-ni+0-t+
$11,000

I love aquamarine and have a good deal of this stone in necklaces and earrings - but I don't think I'd want it as part of my engagement ring b/c I'd want it to be more timeless. It's pretty, though. I wouldn't have thought it was an engagement ring...and I'm surprised that it's 11K given that the bulk of it is aquamarine and each diamond doesn't look to be more than about .1 or .2 carats. Maybe the ring base is platinum or titanium.... Even then. Heck, maybe you're just paying the Tiffany tax.

Diamond Engagement Anniversary Three Stone Ring 2 Carat (ctw) Emerald Cut in 18K White Gold (SI) (Certified)
One high quality (SI) emerald cut diamond gleams in this magnificent piece, while two smaller emerald cut diamonds help further propel this dazzling ring into glittering heaven. Six radiant princess cut diamonds are littered along the band for a total diamond weight of 2.0 carats (ctw) all laid into 18 karat pure white gold.

And it's only $3,995! (myjewelrybox.com)

I would SWOON if I received this ring!! It is, by far, my favorite.

I have been thinking lately that I would want something smaller, if the day ever came, because I am pretty active and I would want to feel comfortable wearing my engagement ring all the time.

Here is my ring:

Three stone, round cut diamonds, 1.75 tw, yellow gold band with platinum prongs. I love it.

Pretty! Congratulations!

This is the ring for me. It's beautiful and classy. I love how the wedding band wraps around the engagement ring...

MUST.HAVE.SO.PRETTY.
(I saw it on bluenile)
It's called a Cirque

I usually don't like those rings with "trim stones" (I don't know what you call them - the little ones around the large one), but that ring is BEAUTIFUL.

I'm not sure what that type of stone is call. I happened to see an ad for BN with that ring in it so, I went to the site. THat particular ring, they call it Cirque but I don't know if that's a general term for stones with surrounding stones. Ill look around and see if I find anything.

NP... damn! That is a RANG!

*drooling a lil bit*
