PauperPrincess 4 months agoMy first engagement ring was a real (albeit small) diamond solitare, then the prongs broke several years later, and I lost the stone. I decided that I wasn’t going to invest in a new diamond, so I bought a tasteful CZ marquis ring from QVC. I’ve received more compliments on that CZ ring than I ever did my original ring. There’s absolutely no point in spending $2K on a ring. That’s all a bunch of marketing hype. Buy your girl a beautiful ring that you will both love, while staying in a realistic budget. Save the rest of that cash for creating your new lives together. Any woman who “needs” a “real” ring worth the proverbial 3 months salary isn’t worth the investment. A ring is a symbol of love, not a status symbol. Even though it’s broken I still have my original ring and wouldn’t part with it for anything. We’ve been together for 20 yrs.

A.Leigh 4 months agoI can’t reply to comments on my phone, but I wanted to say that while I agree with the general consensus that most of these are pretty awful, it is definitely NOT true that all women want a ring that costs there months salary. I would be PISSED if my boyfriend spent that much on a small, shiny thing that serves no purpose beyond symbolism. That would make me seriously question his judgment and ability to budget. I mean, the median salary in the US is about $50k. That would make there months salary about $12,000. Why the hell would anyone need a ring that costs as much as a (cheap) car?

clarissas2 4 months agoFrankly, I think most of these designs are butt-ugly, and many of them are highly impractical. Too many exposed sharp points with which to gouge yourself or your partner … and I know from experience that big wide heavy and/or squared bands are VERY uncomfortable to wear. Big THUMBS DOWN from me, BuzzFeed.

I hate gold, hubby is allergic to silver….I much prefer sapphires if anything. Besides, it’s just a ring, it’s not that important.

These do suck. Your girlfriend might seem alternative… but she wants 3mos of your salary’s worth of diamond on here left hand just like rest of us.
