Same here!

I agree with this. For say 50-100k, I'd rather have a beach cottage/rental properies or something like that.lyra|1421369535|3817129 said:The practical side of me won't let me go over the price of a small car. If it approaches the price of a car or real estate, then it should be a car or real estate IMO. I love bling. I love seeing it, but I just can't justify putting that big a proportion of my net worth into it.

Haha me too. Maybe it's just with age we feel more confident in what we enjoy and not care as much as what others will think about our personal choices.
If you really love that ring, save up to buy it from your mom. To me, a true antique especially with family history, is levels above LM ring.TechieTechie|1423020996|3826994 said:Wearing? Oh, I'd easily go over $50k, maybe even $100k. My great aunt has a 5 carat diamond ring (a 4 carat stunner surrounded by 200 small diamonds) that I'm hoping to inherit one day (I know it's bequeathed to my Mom). However, I will likely never see it as I anticipate my mom selling it for retirement and/or eventually that the family will demand that it be sold and the proceeds split.
Now, would I pay that much for a ring? Likely not. Probably over $10-$20k, I think my environment loving, Peace Corps save-the-world, improve the house fund, worried about my retirement lifestyle rational thought process would kick in. Though I have gotten used to my diamond watch rather quickly, and I have fallen in love with some very sizeable Leon Mege custom rings....so who knows
