I've never had an engagement ring. My first wedding ring was a thin gold band I happened to have in my jewelry box. My current wedding ring is a silver Celtic weave pattern we saw at a New Age book store, it cost $25.
I'm just trying to tell you that we have nothing in common besides both of us liking your penis.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I don't know anyone who actually has the 3-mo-salary priced ring. Of the people who I know that sort of thing about. Mostly because they said some variation of "no way, that is too much money to be wearing around on my finger every day/to be spending" when it came up.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have a cousin who was buying herself baby rings--one coloured diamond for each of her four kids. I mean, for herself, for each of the four kids. She was spending $60-$90k on each one, and took them off to do the dishes. Her kids regularly borrowed them.
Just not my life.
Where do I get lunch from today? Chipotle? Maybe healthy?

Funny, I've heard Kevin on TC referred to as Yukon Cornelius AND as Heat Miser. Makes me wonder if they just gave the Yukon doll a make-over.

I wear my grandmother's engagement ring. I love it all the more for the fact that it came from my mom.

WHUT? I hope you mock her as much as you mock poor unsuspecting people wearing reindeer socks.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I have a plain yellow gold band, which we got the day we decided to elope. That was good enough for me, and then DH (some of you may recall) gave me a ring like this for Christmas last year [link]
It's white gold and doesn't match the band, but he's colorblind and didn't know, so I wear them together in all their mismatched glory. I don'tlove diamonds, but when I look at the ring I see him all eager and excited about getting me fancy jewelry and that makes me love the ring.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Aw.

I don't remember how much my engagement ring cost. It's sterling silver, and the star ruby is in a setting of sculpted bones, ivy leaves, and a skull.

I can't think of any piece of jewelry I'd spend that much money on. Not unless it came with guaranteed magic powers.
