how much would you spend on your wife's wedding ring?

[Messiahtype]

First engagement ring: $2800, I only paid for the setting. Family diamond. Whole ring appraised at $9000
Wedding band: $1600
Upgrade engagement ring: $20,500. Whole ring appraised at $33,000
Diamond earrings as "Wedding day" present $1500
Diamond necklace as Christmas present: $1500

Yeah...my wife walks around with more value on her person than either of our cars is worth.

Lmaooooo 20.5k ring upgrade? What a fuking waste of money.

And I'm 100% pro marriage.

[roko79]

You guys are missing the point.



I wouldn't buy an expensive ring for a girl if that was like her condition


I would do it if I knew she didn't care. What else would I spend my money than the girl I love

No homo

you're 23, the last thing on earth you should be thinking about is a wedding ring. jesus, live your life, whats the rush?

[omnip0tent]

10k ring.


Then i found out theirs some bullchit wedding band that girls dont let guys know about until they buy the first ring. Then all of a sudden bitches be falling out of the fuking sky going "oh you didn't know about two rings???"

So ya another 2k on that chit.


Wedding was 4k in vegas with my boys and no family tho.

Was doing some random talking with the GF during our 4 year anniversary two weeks ago.... blah blah blah I find out about the engagement ring AND the Wedding band. Good thing I have no plans to marry her anytime soon. (waiting for her to get on a career path, and me to get further along in mine).

GG we're suckers boyos.

[Jacobcapra]

i feel like i would spend a lot..



u?

I spent $2,200 but I hustled and had a connection with a local jeweler since my stepfather did work for them. Bought the setting from them, paid $900 for a retail $2,200 setting. Then bought a ring off E-bay for $1,300, pulled out the diamond and pawned the setting for $150.

Appraised for $5K so not so bad IMO, probably worth $2,500-$3,000 in reality.


Just LOL if you go to a jeweler and just buy a ring, brb buying at about 30-40% of the actual value.

u w0t m8

why the fuk would you drop 20K on an upgraded ring? Better have been like a 20 or 30 year anniversary or some chit

[FriendOfFrank]

1st engagment 3163.27- pawned it off for 350 srs. Didn't get married thank god!!!

2nd- 3800-No regrets, wedding was 10k but paid by her parents.

LOL at taking 10% of what you paid for a ring at a pawn shop. Why not take it back to the jewelry store you bought it from?

[Messiahtype]

Lmaooooo 20.5k ring upgrade? What a fuking waste of money.

And I'm 100% pro marriage.

Why is it a waste?
1. She makes money. More than me, actually. She wanted it. Doesn't affect our finances.
2. Diamonds are usually an appreciating asset, if you look at it from an investment standpoint. I pay $30-40k for cars that end up worth nothing.

[TheScapeGOAT]

No rings

No wedding

Happily married almost 6 years now

We'll probably do something at our 10 year mark... maybe a small ceremony or something, not really sure, don't really care either... thought about going on some crazy adventure and having my folks watch the kids, but we travel frequently as is, so that wouldn't even be a "big thing".

I lol at some of my co workers though who spend thousands upon thousands of dollars on rings and wedding parties and all the shenanigans that go into them, only to get divorced a few years later... so fuking compleyely worthless. Maybe if they'd spent that money investing in spending some quality time with another, like traveling and chit, really getting to know each other, things wouldn't have turned sideways... it is what it is tho.

Age:26
Married 6 years
Married at 20? Cot damn boyo you found her early.

[MrGreenTea]

Engagement rings are a fuking scam. It's some phony tradition created by and perpetuated by diamond companies. It makes no sense to have to spend a significant portion of your income to buy an overpriced rock to show your love and commitment to another person. Why would you have to do that lol. The whole concept of love is that it exists beyond the superficial and material items.

The worst part is that women actually buy into this BS and believe that buying an overpriced ring is a gesture of commitment. Fukin lol. DeBeers holding your relationship hostage.

And I see dudes spending thousands on these diamonds (which are actually worthless and the supply is hoarded by the diamond companies btw) but how come the women don't get anything for the dudes lol

i am sure she is with you for your good looks & alpha demeanor /sarcasm youredoingitwrong.jpeg

[Azzurri]

My friend spent over 30k on his.

Yea, stupid money, but it was basically a business venture on his part and they've know each other for 30 years. It's basically like an arranged marriage. Greeks just stick together and they'll never get divorced. It's just not part of the greek culture to divorce, plus it looks bad in the greek community.

Basically he married her for the money, he won't admit it but we all know it's true.

[Aesthetical]

Lol at everyone

My wife picked her ring and it was $700 white gold. Told her to pick something nicer and she said no because she doesnt want me to spend all that money on a ring.

[Messiahtype]

Well since she contributes 60% of our total income, she must be gold-digging.

[JayEs90]

id spend a few grand on the engagement ring but my girl said if I spend anything over $300 she wouldn't marry me, shed rather have a cheap ring and the excess that I would've spent put towards a house for us. plus diamonds aren't are rare and valuable as they made it seem. so id probably go cheap and get a gold ring with a small diamond on it and save the money then go cheap on wedding rings as well, but not as cheap

[demfeelsbro]

Would rent a 20k ring just so she can take the obligatory ******** hand picture with the status 'I said yes' then take it back....that's all they care about anyhows

[Steve707]

diamonds arent rare or worth the money everyone knows that but lol if you are cheaping out on your wifes ring
brb when shes around her friends and family and they all have bigger diamonds than your wife
its not even about how she looks its about how you look now

This.

As you men grow older you will realize this. If she is a good woman she won't even really care about a big ring. You WILL, you will hate yourself when whores judge her worth and YOUR worth by the size of her ring. It's not about you, it's about making sure stupid whores don't make her feel inadequate over a stupid rock.


Plus if you buy a nice one the first time around, you'll never have to do it again.

[kcuviello]

don't ever give a ring on a holiday. then, legally it is considered a gift.

if you give it any other day, you can get that chit back when it doesn't work out.

[forthenoodz]

LMAO at all the CUCKS that are here when their wife leaves with Chad and Tyrone and Chang and HALF their ASSETS

just LOL @ Marriage

[cjmadscientist]

1500 for the engagement ring, and the wedding bands were $25 (stainless steel)....we were college students (we went to school in our mid 20s)

just upgraded our wedding bands last year ($800 for hers, $1200 for mine)

[wailshark]

See these types of threads all the time here but I am curious...what is the misc take on man-made diamonds?

[WeedWizard420]

LOL typical miscer still holding out hope that he'll find a virgin 10/10 HBB with a sucsessfull career, sense of humor, loves to cook, down to smash any time of day, and doesn't use social media. Did I miss anything?

You forgot the singular horn attached to the top of her head

[scullin]

See these types of threads all the time here but I am curious...what is the misc take on man-made diamonds?

Not a fan personally, but if your lady doesn't care, then go for it. You can find deals on good quality diamonds though; especially if you know someone working in the business. I got a huge 60% discount on the engagement ring because of that.

I'd rather go for a good quality real diamond regardless of the cost.

side note:
I even looked at wedding bands for myself that had some of the man made diamonds and didn't like the look of them. But in the end I just got a plain (no stones) tungsten carbide ring anyway because I know I would just end up ruining any other ring. Tungsten carbide can be found very inexpensive and is almost impossible to scratch which is why I went with that.

[GriecoR]

The 4 month salary thing must be a joke. I wouldn't pay near that. Maybe like 4k.

[SadBoys]

Not more than 500$ srs, fuk that overpriced rock, it serves no purpose besides bragging rights to her superficial friends. Would rather use that money to buy us an amazing honeymoon trip so we can actually have something of worth, a beautiful memory.

[DesiredUserphag]

I think it's funny that I get more love and affection from multiple girls I've been seeing for 2+ years (not dating) than most cucks will ever get from their wife. You don't have to buy a ring to be loved if you're an alpha male in this day and age.
