I used to think that the engagement ring was a telling sign of the relationship; the size of the stone and the cost were important to me.
Then I got engaged. My ring is gorgeous, but my fiance didn't need to charge it to a credit card or buy it on a payment plan. It's modest, and it's perfect.....
If the ring is really that important to someone, then the person asking isn't important enough.
Just my 2 cents.
