is 3k enough for an engagement ring? I dont know how much I should be spending on this shit and everything online is saying its what you want to spend which is stupid.

This shit is symbolic anyway. So spend what ever you want. To answer your question. 3k is totally enough.

I looked at rings between $1k and $2.5k, and ended up picking one that was $2k. My fiancé would have been happy with any ring, even if it was only $100

I got a mosinnite one, because she’s aware that real diamonds are a scam and was okay with getting an alternative. It still has like 15 small diamonds around the edges though

Got it online on Etsy, it was super easy and I didn’t have to go see mr Goldberg and get pressured into spending more than I wanted to

I can’t post a pic of it because I’m phone posting and 4chan won’t let me

I went vintage, circa late 20s early 30s, and it was only a $900. Its very beautiful, perfect for my girlfriend (didn't ask yet),and appraised at $1200. My girlfriend is also redpilled and understands the jew diamond market, which going vintage helped me avoid. We would both rather our money went to rental properties, crypto, or firearms.

you're a fucking idiot if you spend any more than $500 on this thing

the diamond ring meme was invented by jews who stumbled upon a mine. when they found out the fucking things are all over the place, they created a cartel to keep prices high artificially. then they spent tens of millions on ads and subliminal messaging imprinting this retarded idea of a diamond ring for engagement, and here you are wondering whether you should hand over your money to them to please this fantasy fucking image you and your girlfriend have of a worthless piece of carbon.

>getting a engagement ring

Why would you want to marry a immodest whore? Get a peace of twine and wrap it around each of your fingers for a fortnight, so that all the men in the village can see that she is taken. Then disgard it and live in the joy of the lord and not some man made metal band.

I actually prefer moissanite for my ring to diamond, it looks better to me
I also considered other stones like moonstone but honestly nothing looks as good to me as moissanite, the color stones are just too heavy with color and the lighter ones too dull. Cubic zirconia also isnt as pretty and is frail af

I bought asked my wife to marry her in 2012, so I bought a ring for like 8.5k because I had my first great job.

I have the best wife ever, so scored there, but I often do the little easy math in my head "How much money would that be worth if I'd put it into BTC" - like 8 million dollars right now.
