The value of a ring = the value of oneself

While i was home over Thnaksgiving break My mom and I went ring shopping NOT ENGAGEMENT but for me for graduation becuase I didnt want an oc one. My mom and i went into a jewlery store where my brother got my sister in laws engagment ring ( i picked it out) but the owner of store who was very nice man said i love your doughter she loves jelwery i told i was looking for either blue topaz or amathest ( purple stone) well we were looking the first ring he puts on me is $20,000 no freaking joke i was aboustly speechless this georgous blue topaz/amathest combo with dimonds ahhh sooo pretty i couldnt believe it was on my finger and yet at the same time i was thinking to myself "im not worth of this expese ring" pluse i didnt want mom to spend that much on a ring and than the next ring was 15000 and so on down line i was wanting some i saw on line for like $200 and told him this and yes and i understand why but for such an accomplishment of graduatiing College you really desve a much pretter ring and he showed us a blue topaz with dimonds that was 900 and he said he give about 20% off which was really nice but still and i said this could be my enagement ring but i dont want my guy ( if i ever had or get one) to spend this much on ring and the owner said how much should he spend aksing me i said ohh probly $500 and he looked me he said beautiful you really desvre a better prettier ring than that and my mom said he better spend at least $900 on the ring and as much as loved the pretty expessive rings i cant imgage owning one casting so much because truthfully i really dont desvre one that expessive i just feel as though someone who is prettier and richer should but i can say mom said she found the ring at a differnt jelwery store i just cant wait to see which one she picked
