And what's with that idea that we have to spend 2 times our monthly salary for an engagement or apparently we are poo-pooed by society? Who came up with that formula, DeBeers Marketing Dept? And then you have to buy another one that is actually the real ring?

Actually, that's exactly who came up with it. And they suggest 3 times your monthly salary.
Upside of the downturn? Can get away with buying a smaller ring...
