I know when I get engaged I do want a ring, but I don't want the guy to go to the poor house for it. B's on the right track...it's a very individual thing. One of my friends hit the mother-load though...I swear her husband is a saint. She got her 1.1 carat princess cut in white gold wiht channeled diamonds around the band. Her wedding band was white gold with channeled diamonds all the way around. Then she convinced him she needed a "utilitarian" white gold band, so she wouldn't have to take her diamonds on vacation and such and rish losing them. So she got a diamond engagement ring, diamond wedding band, regular wedding band and for the rehearsal dinner he got her princess cut diamond earrings to wear at the wedding!!!!
