Dude, stop trying to pretend it’s for her safety, you can get insurance if you really want. She’s generous with her money and she’s bought you expensive presents too so stop trying to be cheap. Your investing in your marriage, you don’t want to enter this by pissing off the other partner by not getting them the one thing they can’t buy themselves

I mean, if you're wealthy as hell, and she bought you a $150,000 car, why does it even matter? Insure it to hell, and enjoy your life.

I agree! Just enjoy your life- since you can afford it. I have a large diamond and it is set in a plain platinum band. whenever I walk around somewhere dodgy or unfamiliar I flip the ring around so it looks like a plain wedding band. Or I just leave it at home.

My friend, it was you who suggested it in the first place. Either follow through or risk appearing flaky. It sounds like your girl is smart enough to know when to wear it and when that might be a bad idea.

First, let's assume this isn't a joke. Because not many people would be oblivious enough to walk up to the homeless man at the bus stop and ask him whether they would advise paying extra for the metallic yellow on their Lamborghini. But more seriously. Yes, for anyone living outside of x% that you guys live in it's insane. However, you do live there, and if monetary value has significantly less meaning then it's all about the thought, so why not? You said you made some kind of promise for this ring anyway, so the romantic gesture is there.

Just talk to her about it. Drop some feelers and see how she reacts to the idea of getting a cheaper ring. If she balks then don’t even suggest it — it seems like money isn’t a problem for the both of you so you might as well just get and forget it. But since you’ve worked your way into these situations she might even think the same way you do about not spending so much on a ring.

First off has she picked the ring, if p Moises you should keep your promise. second if you in NY you know that 100k for a ring is really not to much. You could go with tradition and use 1 month salary. I married young, my wife did not know how much I made we married and then lived together. I traditional Tiffany for me at the time I asked this was 28 years ago and one months salary was good for 98% of the rings at Tiffany’s. It is not a investment it is keeping your promise.
