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!
