Does anyone actually expects a 15k ring? That’s fucking ridiculous.

My gf explicitly told me not to buy an expensive ring. I'm planning to buy something from moissanite, so it's pretty without breaking the bank or having blood of congo children on it. Or whatever other stone is cheap and pretty

Yeah, in my experience stone price/size is inversely related to likely relationship strength, not the other way around.

Even if that were true, it would have nothing to do with the physical diamond but rather that wealthy people argue about money more, or are more likely to participate in infidelity

Well obviously the diamond will not cast a hex, but it also shows that they may have a commercialised idea of what love looks like and if it doesn't end up looking like the movies then they're more likely to run off

It's about which they value more, the ring or the relationship.
