Thoughts on engagement rings

OK, so I was having coffee today and overheard a conversation on a cell phone. The girl was talking about one of her friend's upcoming engagement. She said that her friend was going to be disappointed because the ring was less than 2 Karats and she said she wouldn't accept anything less. I have known some girls who have refused a ring because it was too small, the wrong cut, etc. This has always amazed me, but of course I don't buy into the engagement ring thing. I don't have one and wanted it that way. Why do I need an expensive ring as a promise? I knew that he wanted to marry me and that was enough. I have a nice wedding band that I view as a symbol of our marriage. However, I suppose some people feel that this is unnecessary too. If you have trust then a piece of jewelry is not needed could be a view.

Anyway, my questions are:
Why are some women so picky about an engagement ring?
What do you think the purpose of the ring is?
Has anyone ever refused a ring and made the guy take it back?

I am not judging anyone because it is a personal preference, just curious about other people's opinions and feelings.
