Respectfully, stop buying into that bullshit. That entire gimmick was created by De Beers the diamond company. Unless your a diamond expert I seriously doubt most people can tell the difference between a 5 carat diamond and an 8 carat diamond. Plus if your spouse is giving a shit about that kind of thing, then she's not the one for you.

Buy a respectful ring, a few thousand dollars, and then spend another 4-5k on a nice vacation for the two of you. That's better than any 50,000 dollar ring. To quote Ron Swanson from Parks and Rec, people who buy things are suckers. Adding to that, especially when it comes to diamonds.

My little sister for example, chose to get a ring off of Amazon. Cost her husband all of 500 bucks. It's a nice fake black gem that even if it gets stolen, costs next to nothing to replace.

This guy gets it. My wifes engagement ring cost me less than a months wages and she was thrilled with it. Also, most women are pretty rubbish at gauging how much a ring costs anyway.
