I am not close to engagement, but like many woman, I have definitely thought about the details of my wedding, and what I would and wouldn’t want to spend money on. Personally, I see the argument for wanting something quality that I truly love, if I’m going to wear a ring for the rest of my life. But I’d also be uncomfortable walking around with $10,000 on my finger. We hear so many adages about how much a future fiancé is supposed to spend on a ring— three month’s salary, a certain percentage of their income, or at least X number of dollars. I think it should depend entirely on the couple, what they value and what their financial situation is.
