Standard is 2 months salary, but I do not think it should be that big of a deal.

Are we talking about a wedding ring? I'll go with that assumption. Standard is 2-3 months salary for it. However, many people opt to purchase rings at pawn shops. There are beautiful diamond rings and wedding sets to be found at greatly reduced prices. They are always cleaned and polished. Just make sure there are no engravings inside the band, other than 14k gold. If it doesn't fit quite right, have a local jeweler resize it. The pawn shop will guarantee diamonds but not other stones. People with less money are not the only ones purchasing jewelry from pawn shops. I have several friends who can more than afford to make purchases at a jewelry store, but always buy at pawn shops...including rings, watches, artwork, etc. Check out the local pawn shops first for your girl. She will be happy and so will you. If she asks for a receipt to check the price, dump her.

She shouldn't be telling you how much to spend for a ring.... on the other hand 2 grand isn't that much. My wifes ring was a 1.25 karat solitare with a platinum tiffany setting and a platinum band added when we got married.... I'll let you guess how many thousands that was.... lots. But it has nothing to do with how much money she thinks it should be.... it should be what you want it to be... it's a symbol really and you should buy the one you want to get for her and she can either say yes or no.... but the ring isn't what makes your relationship and if she is demanding something by price... I'd consider what that says on a deeper level about her thoughts of you.
good luck.

Its said that for so many years people are judging their relationship by the size of the ring , I took 10 years for my husband convinced me to by a ring , because I tough that we could do better things with the money, so this year I diced its time to let the world know that I legally married that what the ring stands for me, so we talked, Ii do the budget in our family and I figure no more than 1000 and i got myself a ring that I love and did not hurt us financially, so you guys need to talk and figure that out, marriage life is love , friendship and a lot of compromise

The "rule of thumb" for an engagement ring is that it should cost two months salary...but any other kind of ring should not be that expensive. A ring is to be a symbol of your devotion to each other...if she is devoted to you, she would not be demanding something you can't afford. I think even an engagement ring shouldn't be that expensive...it's ridiculous for women to ask such a thing, because then you start your lives together already in big debt...
...this does seem an odd question for the Vegetarian section, though.

The question should really be if you want to give her the ring and if you do, then something that you choose for her, regardless of the price should be enough for her. In my opinion, any woman that puts a "price range" on her engagement ring is not the type of girl you want to marry. My ring is beautiful and my husband picked it out for me. That's what should matter.
Good luck in finding someone genuine.

Well even though this has nothing to do with food ~ she just wants a ring that she can be proud of - try pawn shop for a nice big square ring (usually under $500) and real gold - then you both get what you want - you save money and she has a ring that she can make other girls green with envy over.

My ring was $6400, it depends on your preference, it's not the ring, it is the meaning behind the ring and the significance of marriage. She shouldn't put a price tag on anything, i didn't and I ended up with something huge! It should never be about the ring.

The "3 months salary" thing was INVENTED by the diamond industry, because there was NO answer to the question "How much should I spend on an engagement ring"!!!
If your girl has a specific dollar amount for a ring - DUMP HER!

Is it an engagement ring?? Ya that's completely normal!!!!! She is going to wear that ring on her finger for the rest of her life! Plus it's gotta be big enough for guys to know she's taken. And it's one of the biggest things in a girls life. You're a guy and you would spend that on a car right? Same thing...well sorta! Save up and get her something nice...prove she's worth it to you.

you woudl think it would be the look and feel of the ring that matters more than the price to a girl. Nonetheless, girls can sometimes feel that you really care when you purchase them something that is out of your price range, suggesting that money is no obsticle between you two.
