Yes, Cream, I hear you on this one! I've commented on this before on that other diamond thread, but people here make lots of money. $150-200K is often typical annual income. We regularily plunk down $8-10 on a drink after work. I guess spending $6-10K on an engagement ring doesn't seem like that big a deal to me? Oh how this city is ruining me!
Also, I always tell my boyfriend he better no set foot in Tiffany for my engagement ring! You pay a good $3000 extra for that name alone. I'll gladly take that $3000 in an extra half carat from a jewler on 47th street (the Diamond District of NYC)!
