My wife wanted a diamond ring, but one that included stones that have been in her family for a 6 generations. We designed the ring together (with the help of Rhino3D and a local gem shop in Chicago). We melted down the old platinum ring and used the money for a new setting. It's the only ring she has; no separate engagement and wedding rings. My opinion is that people who insist on the two-months' salary-marketing ploy are chumps and I don't respect that lack of real thought for such a major decision. I told her afterwards that if she would have insisted on a new diamond ring, we wouldn't have gotten married. Currently at seven years and two kids.
