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 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.
