How much did your engagement ring cost?

I actually picked out my own ring while out shopping, my husband and I had been talking for a few months and looking online but hadn't seen anything I really liked in our price range.

You know, I could care less about anything to do with politics, pets or travel. So I don't post on those fora/threads. Why bother posting to this one?

I think like 2-3k but I didn't pick it out or pay for it so I have no idea.

$65. I picked it out. In the gift shop of the national park where he proposed. Had it on my finger 15 yrs + and get lots of complements. priceless.

.5 and we got it for $699 back in 1987. My husband did give me a Tiffany's diamond eternity ring at our 10th anniversary.

Looking forward to our 28th anniversary in wintertime. Big engagement rings mean nothing.

$850 in 2011. I picked it out- it's white gold with an emerald in the middle with 14 tiny diamonds around the center stone. I love it, he could afford it. What else matters?

Not totally sure, but about $5,000. It's not a diamond (thank goodness).

Flawless actually isn't a good thing - you need at least a small flaw in order to identify it.

1 ct solitaire, $14,000. To answer a PP's question, I know how much it cost because I do the finances including insurance. He surprised me with it and we never went ring shopping. I think it's a ridiculous amount to spend on a ring.

Compliment = "I like your ring!"

Complement = "This wine pairs well with this cheese."

Approx 2K for .75 carat, then bought a new halo setting for 1k, so about 3K for approx 1ct total.
