But yeah,
what's the point of getting a $15,000 ring? I just never understood that. Diamonds aren't even rare. This is just what De Beers wants you to think so you spend a fortune on them.
+1, I think its soooo stupid when people spend that much on a ring...go buy another car or something useful! I dont' know how much my ring was, but I know it was reasonable and just like you said, if you want to upgrade later, do it when you have more $! If you buy huge in the beginning, it'll be a lot harder to upgrade.
