What ever he can afford. I am married, and never once did i expect a very expensive ring. If one is only in for the size of the rock to show off then they are in it for the wrong reasons. One should be happy with anything that he can afford to buy you. Besides why ask for him to pay the rest of his like on a ring that is only a "look at me i'm getting married" when the main ring is the wedding band. And even at that. Why start your life out in the whole because of a ring? Just my thought.

An engagement ring that costs $5,000 will end up costing almost $10,000 if you get it using a credit card or a financing plan. If you expect to live together after you get married, and I assume you do, it's better to go with a small ring now and upgrade later. The average is 1/2 a carat, but I don't really know anybody who has 1/2 a carat- most women I know either have a tiny ring if they got engaged very young, or a larger one. My ring is 3/4. My husband made and still makes really good money, but a carat looked gaudy on my hand, since I am very petite and I have small hands. Plus, I cared much more about it being a conflict-free diamond than about it being certain size or clarity. You're both 23, and you've just started building your credit records, there is no need to tarnish them with unnecessary loans. Get what you can afford to pay for in cash without getting in debt, and spend the rest of the money on a down payment for a house, a master's degree, or a lovely honeymoon. Both have much higher rates of return than a ring with perfect clarity. Engagement rings are way overpriced compared to non-engagement typical diamond rings because of the emotional appeal. If you are willing to go with a non-traditional style you can get a better diamond and a better ring for much cheaper. Since I am very active, I hardly wear my rings anyway.

The price of the ring shouldn't even matter what should matter is his love for you.
I have been happily married for 6 1/2 years now and I can care less about the ring its not important it is our love for each other that's important.

Whatever is a realistic price for him. I was lucky my husband works as a manager for a mining giant in Australia and we got diamonds from Argyle for a third of the price that they are sold in retail...they are also an investment.

The cost of the ring should not matter, the feeling it gives you should be priceless.
