a ring should cost about as expensive as one of your toys. Eg. if you go four wheeling a lot, or fishing, or mountain biking, play guitar or instruments, or have an expensive gaming rig, etc. A ring, if your girl wants one, should be as expensive at least as one of those.

I disagree, which is okay. Rings can look nice under a couple hundred bucks and if you want to buy one, the symbol is still there. I personally would be 100% okay spending big money on something that is actually worth it. When I see a really expensive product (like a ring), I just see 99% of it being profit. On the other hand, a trip together or getting them a “toy” (like you mentioned, nothing weird) would be way better. Going back to symbols, the only one that matters is the one in your head. If someone would look at their ring and think less of it or less of their partner because it wasn’t pricey enough, I wouldn’t want to be their partner. That being said, I get your point. If you can afford to spend 10s of thousands on yourself and then buy your partner a $30 ring, that would suck (I can understand why the reciever would think they aren’t worth anything). Over $1000 seems ridiculous to me in any situation though. Again, not an expert, but seems like a “natural” vs lab diamond debate. I see the “natural” ones as exploitative of workers and consumers.
