Compared to the £10,000 I am spending on her eternity ring for our wedding anniversary I am making a large trading loss.

And she's buying my present out of the £4k a month I give her to cover the bills, her pension contributions, items for the house etc.

Lets do some roleplay

Now ask me for a £10k ring and I'll show you the correct response.

i can't imagine
a time when someone would want to spend that much on a ring. Is it magic? Does it come from Sauron?

We need a Lisa Standsfield link to go with that

Every thread could be improved by a Lisa Stansfield link.

(PsychoChomp, Fri 8 Jun 2012, 16:25, Reply)

Worst Lisa Standfield link ever was Steve 'Wacky' Wright on TOTP2. 'That was Billy Bragg's haunting and moving 'Between The Wars', I bumped into Lisa Stansfield in the BBC corridors the other day, she had a new haircut, i didn't recognise her, here she is singing...'

Fucking idiot.

it's all relative innit
the value doesn't matter, it's how much time and thought they've put into choosing something that they thought you'd like.

however, if you know they earn a fortune and they have spent pennies, that will not bode well for future happiness. same if they earn a povvo salary but have spent money on a ring instead of a deposit for a house or a car or something sensible.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Fri 8 Jun 2012, 16:26, Reply)

I wouldn't be comfortable wearing something of that value though
even when I went engagement ring shopping with my best mate, all the ones I liked were under a grand.

( rachelswipe with a fork, Fri 8 Jun 2012, 16:45, Reply)

I thought that was just a myth propagated by jewellery companies
trying to screw more money out of people? It's supposed to be about the emotion and intent behind it, not the size of the rock. If I met someone I genuinely thought I wanted to spend the rest of my life with, he could propose with an onion ring and it wouldn't matter.

i think de beers started the myth
in theory i agree with you. in flippancy, i am obliged to point out that nobody with any brains would want to spend the rest of their lives with a twit who couldn't even afford a decent ring, so it's academic...

i was joking
but i kind of agree. it has nothing to do with family money or what they earn now. it has everything to do with drive, brains, ambition and being hard-working.
