How much to spend on an Engagement Ring?

[Phteven]

I'm probably the wrong person to ask, though, as I'm obsessed with jewellery & have no issues spending the $$ because I see it as something that lasts a lifetime.... and I wear it everyday.

I regard it as the investment you can wear

We aren't even engaged yet but have spoken about it and my future parent's in law who i haven't met face to face because they live on the other side of the world have said that they will give us engagement/wedding rings as a present, only problem is that my partner is set on platinum and i only wear gold. I spose we'll have to sort that out when we get to it, but we will probably choose a diamond together and have our rings made overseas because it is way cheaper overseas.
