Thanks! My wife is the kind of person who didn't care what I gave her.
My mom was the kind of woman who said "Just give me the cash and I'll take care of the ring." She knew what her style was and what she wanted.
Mind you, it was the 80s and they were telecom execs, so they had the cash to throw around. If OP's in the same position and his gf knows that he'd be willing to drop the cash, that may be why she suggested the pricey ring; personal circumstances matter.
I wanted to get something I could be proud of giving my wife, something that would make my parents proud to see on their daughter in law's finger.
Same woman who did my mom's ring did my wife's.
