The wedding ring (or wedding band, technically) is meant just to supplement the engagement ring. The engagement ring is the main event.
I spent $3900 on my wife's. That bought a .75 carat with very good color and clarity, it sparkles real nice. She's thrilled with it and never compares it to others.
I think we then spent $500 on the wedding band, which is ringed with tiny sidestone diamonds.
At the time I was making $45,000 a year.
