I'm not so concerned with the cost of the ring. I just can't believe some of the prices of the rings so of the girls in my sorority have. I'd be scared to wear them out of the house for fear I'd get mugged. And, I'm so scatterbrained that I'd probably misplace it. Something that costs over $6000 is not something I'd want to misplace. But, I'm also more simple...I don't want anything over a carat (too gaudy).
The main thing in this situation is that he picked out a ring that the girl doesn't like. I think that they should've discussed exactly what she wants for her ring. Also, he needs to look at her other jewelry to see if her style is more conservative or eccentric. Another idea would be to ask one of her friends for an opinion. My boyfriend told me that the day he goes ring shopping that he'll take my roomie with him so that she can help him pick a ring that I'll like.
If he can only afford $650 for a ring then that's fine. Maybe one day he afford to upgrade.
