It's ridiculous how much society has bought into the diamond industry's hype. They're goddamn sparkly rocks.

I had to look it up.
I spent about 4 on the wife's. Since I was in the books, I looked up my wage, and it was about 2 months wages. Good lord I was a dork.
I'm in your camp, but the wife loves it and still wears it every day.
Probably it means more to her than me. She's catholic and had our rings blessed, and that matters to her. My ring doesn't fit anymore (it was like a $200 tungsten ring), and there is less than no chance I'd wear it in my profession, but she told me years ago that if I get a new one the right size I need to get it blessed. So all this stuff means different stuff to her than me.
I think I need to go get a groove ring or whatever other silicone ring to not be a ****ing heathen and I actually do love my wife.
