How much do you spend on an engagement ring?
 
The girlfriend of 2 years keeps bringing up getting married. We live together, have our own home.. I think its about time to get hitched. I dont want to spend an assload on her for a ring, thinking like around 1200.00 or less. What have you guys spent/plan on spending on rocks? She wants like an oval cut, white gold at least 1cwt. I did some online looking/pricing... any suggestions?

Get one off craigslist, have it appraised verify it's real, get a name brand box, and you're set.

Supposedly 2x your monthly take home is average for an engagement ring. Which is a sickening amount of cash.

I gave her my Grandmas old wedding ring. So it cost my about 20 bucks to bring Grandma out to lunch. Then sence she works in a lab and wears gloves all the time. She got a 100 dollar gold ring!!!

I got away with only spending 120 on rings. We had a 3000 park wedding with a BBQ. I even went to the ER after a horrible football injury. I twisted my ankle in a bad way. It still ------- hurts 4 monthes later.
