I'm laughing....
I think my hubby paid $400.00 for my first ring( mind you, this was a long time ago). I loved the ring even tho' it was a small diamond and NOTHING like what some of my pals had on their finger's from their men.( Most of them have been divorced since then as well)
He did get me a new ring when our daughter was born. But....the first diamond is still close to my heart on a necklace!
