i think spending 2 months salary on a e-ring is pretty extravagant... especially as more and more women stop wearing their e-ring after a while of being married and just wear the wedding band? but thats just me..
I do not who thought up the 2 month rule. The first time I got married the saying was one month's salary. I think it is ridiculous, especially when there are so many other things the money could be spent on.
I was in the jewellery store getting my rings cleaned a few months ago and there were a couple of guys in there waiting for approval for financing...just makes me nervous to see people do that. I understand that people can't upfront that much money right away, but I would hope that some of the boys can start planning and saving for it in advance rather than pay an additional amount in interest financing the ring.
I have heard two months salary, but it's definatly a personal choice. FI spent about that much on my ring but that was his budget.
haha my SO spent less than one paycheck on mine! but it appraised for about a months salary...
we had budgeted for about a months salary, but ended up spending less (about 2 weeks worth of his salary) and i got the ring of my dreams!
I said yes, it's appropriate - but only because he's a student who doesn't make much anyway! :P
This sort of thinking is one of the reason I hate the whole idea of engagement rings. (Let's publicly announce how much FI makes, shall we?) NotFroofy and I decided not to have engagement rings at all.
His absolute limit was his then 2 months salary. I told him I would highly upset if he paid that much though. He ended up paying what his 2 month salary is now as he took a pay cut when he went from contractor to full-time. Still wish he could have paid less but it was still a half to a third of the appraisal value.
