Threads like this sucks. Not for the guy who created it, but all the non-sense answers in-between making most women look like gold diggers or making seem like they're only worth it if they're good in bed. Dont insult his girl like that, grow up guys.
As far as the real reason for the thread in the first place...hope this answer from a woman's perspective helps....
My husband and I got engaged after about 6 months of dating. Kinda quick I know, but we both knew that we werent going to get married for some time but wanted to officially commit to each other. Both of us had previously been married and had other bad relationships which lead nowhere, but we both knew that we wanted to be with each other for as long as we could, so we made a commitment to one day be together forever (corny, I know....deal with it.. lol). I told him that I wasn't going to get married for a couple of years because I wanted to be certain that things would last if we got married. He understood that and got me a simple ring that was custom made. It wasnt more than a few hundred dollars and it was beautiful. That was in 1998.
After being married for a few years and together for a total of almost 8 years now, I JUST got my wedding ring this past Christmas. I waited years for just the right ring, we've spent thousands on mods and things for the house, and he didnt spend a fortune on it partly because I'm a simple person and didnt want a $3k ring and partly because it's just a ring, not a house or a car. We have the house and cars, then we moved on to other things that we wanted but not ness. needed. I wanted a nice wedding ring for a while, but I was willing to wait for it.
If you want to make her happy and she's worth keeping around, try to get her a ring thats not as expensive. Spend the day shopping around at other places. Tell her that you would rather spend the $2k on a wedding ring later on down the road or take her on a simple trip along with a smaller or less expensive ring. If she loves you, she will understand that this isnt a simple decision for you to make. Some men dont mind spending money on things for girls, while others see it as an "investment" or weigh the pro's and con's on what they would RATHER spend the money on. Trust me, I know. But I'm older and been around the block. lol Younger girls are harder to please. So good luck and I hope you make a decision that will make you both happy. Just remember one word.... COMPROMISE.
