Fellas, whats a reasonable amount to spend on an engagement ring

Man you adding scenarios but honestly with the daughter thing... I'd judge that young man based on much more than that Wal-mart ring. I know a lot of assholes who've spent a grip on rings.

Man you are so right. I know cats who bought 3K rings, yet bang their wives friends. :lol:
 
Find someone/dealer that sells loose stones. Then get it mounted. You're more likely to save a pretty penny, as opposed to going to the jewelry store. That's what I did. I was in a pawn shop one day and just took a glance at their jewelry. Dude asks what I'm looking at and I said I was thinking about getting engaged. Dude went to the back and came back with a pouch full of diamonds. All shapes and sizes. Sparkling and flawless. Same ring at the jewelry store was going for twice what I paid. And the ring appraised at twice what I paid.

Get what you can afford. Please don't get the lady a cluster, tho.
 



Just don't get you a materialistic girl. You will be in trouble all your life. They never change, they actually get worst as they get older.

And you don't think a woman like that is worth more than 39.99? :|
 
Bighead,
Get you one of those chicks out the Middle East. They cook, clean, got banging bodies, beautiful faces and won't care if you cheat.

Typical.... :lol: But my point is, I wouldn't buy anyone a 39.99 ring, but a person would be a fool to buy a 5500-10,000 ring for a marriage in 2011. Shyt they ain't even lasting 5 years these days. Now I could see a good ring around 1500-2500, then if you make it to 10 years get you that fat 7000 ring. Folks wonder why marriages ain't lasting, you putting everything up front and not having anything to look forward to for the golden years. Cats making 50K-70K spending 10K on a ring. Shyt you are a fool.

Bruh, when you say "I DO," you'll be spending 10x that amt. lol

I've purchased 2 engagement rings in life and I think that first one was ~2500 or so and the one for the then wife was 5800 before she started asking for mods on that bad boy. When it was said and done, it was just shy of 8K (I stole it from her before I divorced :emlaugh: :bawling: :emlaugh: ). I recalled bytching a lil' bit about it and telling her I could've bought a new motorcycle and then had my '67 chevy re-painted for that amt of $$$$. :emlaugh: I guess it was worth it though (the smile on her face).

I'm not sure what my pastor will say, but I will personally call you a cheap bastard if you buy your woman a $39.99 ring.

You can only do what you can do, but what you choose to put on your woman's finger says a lot of about both how you feel about her and who you are as a man. This isn't high school, man. You can't go the KMart or Hollywood Jewelers route and expect your lady to have confidence in you as the provider and the man of the house. I don't know your financial situation, but I would guarantee that you have spent way more than $39.99 for things for yourself.

POW! Just what I said earlier. What he's willing to spend to get you...you can already tell what he'll spend when he's gotten you. Bet that.

Funny, I find that other races don't blow money on material things like we do. Most of these other races I see have on just wedding bands, instead of 4K rings. We are the only materialistic folks.

BULLSHIT! Negroes ain't keeping Zales, Tiffany and Cartiers open. BELIEVE THAT! Hell, they just let us come inside 20 years ago and they have been around for a grip. Them other races BEEn giving, collecting, receiving "baubles" aka expensive jewelry for ages. So, stop with that.
