I thought that the rule was supposed to be two months income.

I guess Jeff doesn't really love his new wife.

Jesus Christ. Two months' income is so insane. I'd be pissed if my boyfriend bought me a ring that expensive.

Two months is what DeBeirs, the assholes who hold a monopoly on diamonds, arbitrarily told people to spend on a diamond.

Ultimately it should be what makes both parties happy.

Originally in the they said it was one months' salary. They then upped it two months. And they then upped it Three months

You can also see in the article that they hoard about 60% of the world's diamonds. De Beers is a corrupt company sitting on top of a corrupt system built on blood and death.
