My ring is a 1.51 carat round solitaire. I color, ideal cut, VVS1. In a 6 prong platinum setting. The specs of the diamond qualify it to be a Tiffany stone. We just don't have a Tiffany's nearby.
I'm estimating that Boy paid between 6 and 8K for it. He only financed the last little bit, and that's because he was tired of waiting. It will be paid off by next month. I figure he only financed the last 1K or so.
But, he lives at home with his parents, has no student loans, a credit card that's paid off monthly, a low car note... he's doing pretty well. And we still have a year to save up for a house.
There's a girl in my class who got a similar ring. Her fiance is still in law school...I'm not sure how they swing that one unless his parents have money (which I'm glad my boy paid for this all on his own) or he's up the wazoo in debt.
