Sigh, what if she wants it?

Then she's mental. I swear most girls don't demand a 3k ring, just get something she thinks is nice, the cost shouldn't matter too much unless you're getting engaged to a nutter. 3k certainly isn't sensible for a student unless you're family's rich af.

Is it ethical? Is it sensible for a student?

Here is the ring

No, it's overpriced.

Any decent girl would know the cost of an engagement ring should be reasonable - you couldn't even wear this once you are married because of the shaping.

Anyone disappointed by a cheaper ring doesn't understand 'love'.

Yes.

Honestly, if that's the ring she wants then buy her it. I don't think it's unethical for a ring which symbolises your investment into marrying her and spending your life with her.

I don't think you should. The value you place on your relationship is in your heart and mind and your real love for that other person. It isn't expressed by the value of a piece of carbon.

what if she chose this 3000 ring

Then you can safely assume she has £1,500 to invest towards your joint purchase.

She was referring to your dignity.

The (made up in the 30's) tradition was that approximately one month's salary is the amount you should spend on a ring .

If she says she won't get engaged or marry you if you don't get that ring or spend that much on the ring, then you should question if she is actually in love with you or not. When you are really in love it won't matter how much or little you spend, especially if there is thought behind it rather than simple cold hard cash.

If your man, don't buy it for her, unless she pays half.

It's an ugly piece of tat from Amazon :erm:

Do it properly and go to Tiffanys if you have cash to spend.

£3000?!?!

Imagine all of the guinea pigs you could buy with that, and ur spending it on a ring?...... :s-smilie:

EDIT: i have done the maths:
you can buy 2 guinea pigs for £30 in most places (obs rescues are better :h:

anyway...)

So:

£3000 / 30 = 100
X by 2 = 200 pigs

You can get 200 guinea pigs for the price of a single ring :eek:

In all seriousness tho that seems an insane amount to spend on such a thing. As your a student (well off or not) wouldnt you be better off using 3K to pay ur utility or food bills or you rent?
