So if someone is in a bad financial situation spending $299 is acceptable? What is the floor?
Meh, my mother is still waiting for one...just depends on priorities I suppose.
And average is 4k-5k?
Sounds on the high end to me. Especially if you "know" someone in the business as we all do. Got both a diamond and setting that way.
Diamonds have no intrinsic value as it is, just one big farce.
