People with no intrinsic value whatsoever so they think a price-tag on a ring will impress their mate enough to say yes. Like a peacock, no pun intended. Or people so blinded by media and ads that they just do “what everyone does”. Or a combination of all those reasons and more…
Wifey and me drown in money but I still proposed with a ring out of aluminum foil because nothing else was there at the moment 😁 She still has it, many many many moons later. We don’t even have rings worth more than 10 moneyz.

I bought moisinite for mine, he proposed with a family heirloom ring that I’m too scared I’ll lose, I’m keeping it safe to pass down to my kids. Moisinite is the second hardest gem after diamond, looks like a diamond and it’s made synthetically, all of that adds up to cheap and pretty.

Oh yes, heard of that. And on top of it: has no blood on it like diamonds…
Looks really cool, i wouldn’t dare to wear that heirloom. Just at home maybe 😁

I have ADHD and I’ve lost so many rings, I’d get traumatized losing the family ring lol.

Yeah me too. And boy have I lost things in my life 😁 But those I treasure dearly, I keep safe at home. Safe from me 🤷🏻
