Engagement Ring Prices

[God is a Husker]

gave like 2500, but i cant afford a deck so that fwiw

Does your front porch have a couch yet?

Every girl in Nebraska grows up dreaming of one

I had one customized and paid $8k at Sartor Hamman. After the separation less than a year later the same place gave me $4k for it. That kinda shows you the markup.

 

[Juro]

Sweet. Anything under 500?

Not that I can’t afford a better priced one, I’m just cheap.

It really depends on what you’re comfortable spending based on your savings and income. Someone mentioned the two months salary guideline, I would say that two months’ take home pay should be the absolute maximum. Women will say it’s two months’ gross salary but they’re greedy and don’t understand that that comes out to 1/3 of a year’s net income.

I used Blue Nile and hand picked the diamond and band for my wife’s ring. I did a LOT of research and was very picky with the stone that I selected. Ultimately I paid a lot, but it appraised for more than twice what I spent. Obviously the appraisal value doesn’t mean much other than for insurance, but I’m confident that I got a good deal.

Yeah anyone who tells you that diamonds retain value or it's an investment is either an idiot or trying to fleece you. The most valuable that thing will be is the day you buy it. The worth is w/e your girl attributes to it, which is 100% a ladydick measuring contest.

I want to say my wife’s was around 10k. But I put it on a Helzberg credit card and we had a shared bank account so I guess she kinda paid for it too

Even if I made Garrett level money, I wouldn't drop 10 Gs

I assume there has to be a Pimp to handle the money and keep the honeys in line

This thread reminding me that pussy stays undefeated.

Calm down Rick Harrison

I was just surprised to hear that from my good friend who runs Sols. You learn all sorts of things when you have interesting friends.

 

[Fargo Husker]

I paid like $1500 or something. I was 22 and broke. In hindsight would have gone cheaper

I was just starting grad school and didn’t have much money. Spent a little over $1000 on it. About 3-4 years later I dropped a couple hundred more to add the wedding band. She still loves it to this day.

 

[ThomOsborneMD]

$10k when I was in PA school. So she technically paid for her own ring as it was on my student loans that we just paid off.

So it cost you $20k in reality

I was going to go 100% custom designed setting with loose diamond from Blue Nile. But I ended finding a very similar setting at Kay for about 1/3 as my custom designed one.

I created the spreadsheet below to find the "perfect" loose diamond.

In the end I believe I paid around $13k and it appraised close to $19k. I almost sold it on the spot.

Not to lie, it's a damn nice ring.

Next time some wiley geriatric starts talking about student loan forgiveness, he needs to be reminded of the shit tier consumption decisions millenials make

My wife never wears her as is, so wtf bruh

 

[wildcat_husker]

I customized one for $9K about a year ago.

If I could redo it, I’d have a serious conversation with my fiancé about getting a lab grown diamond. Those should be more popular. Diamonds are a total waste of money.

Looks nice, though.
