cars are 20,000 not rings. or may be I wasn't born into a millionaire family

No it's not just you... To me, $2000 is a bit excessive. But if you have the money, sounds good to me. The question is, who in their right mind brings a $2000 ring jet-skiing, without making sure it's properly secured? Somebody is a few bricks short of a building apparently....

Jonny2x4 (or anyone else who feels like doing this), I challenge you to find me a nice $20,000 ring that doesn't look tacky. Now I challenge you again, to find me a $20,000 ring that doesn't look tacky, AND doesn't have diamonds (Because I don't like diamonds, and never wanted a diamond engagement ring) Yes, this is an actual challenge. I've never seen a $20,000 ring to begin with, and when I imagine them, they have disproportionately large stones that look ridiculous. But I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt and saying "hey, maybe there are really nice $20,000 rings."

i think 47 kicked your jetskis..she kicks boats...i mean who knows? o_O

If a guy proposed to me with a $20,000 ring, I would punch him in the face for spending so much damn money.

I'd never wear the damn thing... I'd be too afraid of something happening to it! A couple hundred is fine by me. I don't need extravagance - it's the meaning of the ring that counts.

if my husband had proposed to me with a 20,000 dollar ring I woulda been super pissed... that coulda been a downpayment on a house instead...

I'm with the rest of y'all, $20,000 is way excessive for a ring. That would definitely be a ring that needed a ridiculous amount of insurance on it and would still be terrifying to actually wear anywhere. On a random note, I'm glad to hear that I am not the only person who dislikes diamonds.

This morning I was messaged a picture of a diamond ring that was 20,000 and looked fairly reasonable. Not my style, but still, not something ridiculous. Still waiting for a non-diamond one though. :)
