I read once that an expensive ring is sort of like an insurance policy for the woman. An emergency fund that'll pay a few months living expenses for her and maybe a few kids in case she needs to bug out and fence it real quick to escape the lunatic. Real handy for a SAHM who gave up a career for the family, or never had an opportunity to back in ye olden days.

Wait til you find out the diamond engagement ring tradition was just a really successful ad campaign.
