Who can tell me what the average American woman expects the average American man to spend on her engagement ring? Two months salary. WOW. I guess I did not know that. An artist named Lee Gainer went out and computed the two month salary for a number of professions and then took pictures, which look like ads, of the diamond rings a man of said profession could afford. I love art.
What a great idea. (Click here to see more pictures!)
What strikes me about the art is how similar all of the rings look. I can't really tell the difference between the "Cashier" rings versus the "Structural Engineer" rings. The only rings I can tell are noticeably bigger are the "A List Actor" rings. Honestly I like the simple rings more than the ornate ones...but who am I?
I too like the art and perspective. I am a bit perplexed by your inquiry, however, considering the size of your mother's diamond on your hand....but who am I?
ReplyDeleteI just did not know that two months salary was the base expectation...I think Linda was thinking larger numbers....
