    heres my take based on a fairly material attachment to fancy stuff..

    initial ring-
    platinum setting( .8-1 carat) 3-6k depending on clarity VS1 at a minimum.. the more unique the better( bravo jevad)

    year 2
    1.5 min carat ( total) upgrade

    year 5
    2+ increase clarity VVS1

    one could increase the spread but the expectaton based on these assumptions would be about 15- 30k over the 5 year or greater span.. i would say the alternate rule is spend the equivalent of the sports car you would finance over the same period of time..

    just one opinion

    this line of thought it has been used to justify the purchase of the equivalent sports car.. you both upgrade when you can..good livin..

    one caveat start modest and upgrade.. if you start high there is only one way to go based on the upgrading assumption....broke
