How much did your enactment ring/wedding ban cost?

My e-ring was $6,500 and I cared about quality not the size of the diamond as much. For some reason I get so much negative feedback from people on Y/A how much my ring costs when they ask me. My center diamond is .75 carats & (1.12 total carat weight for the entire ring) My fiance makes over $100k a year so it's not like he couldn't afford it. I didn't ask for or demand a ring this price, I just told him what style I liked and he chose it. Our mortgage payment alone is $2,300.

My sister's ring was $5,800 and my sister in law's fiance paid $7,000 for hers. My fiance & I have a mutual friend who just bought his fiance a ring that was $20,000! But they are a little older and they both make good money. Maybe it is a location thing? We are from Los Angeles. I'm not sure. The wedding band I'm going to get is $1,200. Blue sapphire pave band. I am excited about that. I love sapphires.
 
I don't know how much my ring cost, but our budget was $2,000 and he said he said he kept it under budget. I don't have a wedding band yet. I was interested in a middleground. I got a green sappire so that allowed him to get me a bigger stone overall than the same priced diamond. It also allowed him to get two accent diamonds on either side. I guess in the end quality won out because I tried on a noticeably bigger saphire that was gorgeous...except it had a pretty noticeable inclusion. We both agreed the smaller, deeper green saphire was a better choice and I love it. Plus bigger means more to get caught on stuff and risk scratching it. I couldn't deal with anything bigger than what i have now, it would annoy me.
 
I don't know the exact price of my engagement ring.
My wedding band cost $80.

All I wanted was a ring that would last - so basically I just wanted it to be gold. Beyond that, all I wanted was for my hubby to pick it :)
 
I don't know and don't care what it cost. It's the appraisal that matters! I know what it's worth and that's what counts for insurance. And quality is obviously more important than the size of the stones.
