Iāve never believed the rubbish spouted by jewelry stores that an engagement ring should cost 3 months salary but he earns more than $80 for 30 minutes work! If we went by the 3 month āruleā very little in Tiffanys and Cartier would be off limits. The ring I really liked cost $1,600.Another major factor, frankly, is the demographics of this site.
