I spent more than two months pre-tax salary on my wife's ring, and I've never regretted it. I had the setting custom cast and got a near perfect stone which shines beautifully. The wedding band mates to the engagement ring. I know the ring is absolutely unique and my wife loves it. I did not have the ring (or any ring for that matter) when I asked her to marry me. I got it afterwards and we both had a great time working with the jewler designing the ring and picking the stone. Money is only money.
