Average price of an engagement ring?

[PhoenixAzul]

I've hinted (ok, basically told) my SO that if he decides to propose, I want him to use my grandmother's diamond, but have it set in something different/more modern (it's an OLD ring)...but I think it is very special, plus it isn't a conflict diamond.

Whatever the hell you feel like spending.

Yes, and in whatever size, color, shape, stone, setting you want.

Seriously, even though I have a diamond/platinum ering that I like very much, don't do what everyone else is doing just because it's the "thing" to do. I've seen some gorgeous non-diamond erings that are just as meaningful (if not moreso) and less expensive.
