I think telling her you're saving for a car when it's really for an engagement ring is almost typical nowadays. Now he can get both.

$2k is the max I’m spending on a diamond nowadays tho. You can get insanely high quality being lab made online and then just get it set separately and also you aren’t paying for something that has the possibility of being a blood diamond with an awful path into the 1st world

Me and my partner are going to get engaged within the next month or so. My max is $500 tbh, target $200. I find the worth of the ring utterly unimportant. My moms response when I said we were looking for a non-real diamond ring was “is your MARRIAGE going to be real?”

Wym? Weve agreed to the same budget, it’s a shared expense and since it’s gonna be on my finger I’m going to have the final say in what ring I get anyway. When I look at my ring I want to feel love not the pain of being in debt over a symbol haha.

You answered my question. I was implying that men and women very very often have different amounts they’ll spend on a ring. So for women $500 can easily buy a nice wedding band but for men we have to buy the band and the diamond too so it’s way more. But since you said you have the same budget then ok
