My wife didn't grow up poor, but she doesn't give a crap about jewelry, expensive or otherwise. When we were picking out rings, I wanted to buy a reasonably pricy ring and she ended up choosing one that cost about half of what I was prepared to spend. It bothered me because I didn't want people to see her ring and think I was a cheap ass, but she insisted on the one she wanted.
One year for Christmas I got her a nice matching set of ruby earrings and a necklace, and I think she's worn them once, and that was only because I bitched about it. I'll never buy her jewelry again. And she's fine with that.
