First off. I paid for my husband's ring. He didn't WANT anything more than a simple band. Be careful when you generalize.
I think the two month's salary thing came a long while ago, not necessarily by jewelers. I thought it was along with the idea that if the man left for whatever reason, the woman could sell her ring and still survive.
Personally, I'm not too materialistic. But if I was ever to get married again, I'd still want a beautiful ring. Simple, elegant, and beautiful. And I'd love to have it presented to me when he proposes. But ya know? It's really not that big of a deal. Don't worry about how much you "should spend". Find something just as beautiful as she is, that reminds you of her. She'll love it.
