I knew a guy that carved a set of rings out of some light colored hardwood. Did inlays in them of a contrasting wood. They were beautiful. Also an indicator. Women have become convinced by the wedding industry and pop culture (meaning jews) that the engagement ring is supposed to be worth two-three months of a guys salary. Fuck that shit. If you were to offer her a hand carved wooden ring, and she got pissy about it, that should tell you she aint the one. Ditch the avaricious bitch then and there. There are plenty more girls on the girl tree.
