I think the tradition is that a man should invest a certain amount of resources. And the point is to not buy/get anything useful. A pile of money for a diamond ring is some resources.

But there are alternatives:

This guy made a wirelessly powered led illuminated ring: http://www.kokes.net/projectlonghaul/projectlonghaul.htm

This guy forged a ring out of meteorite metal: http://io9.com/5907849/this-guy-hand-forged-his-own-wedding-...

Those are both, I would say, much larger investments than $2000 to $5000 dollars in money.

Tradition is sexist then, don't be sexist

Well, if you are moderately progressive, you still want to be sexists and follow tradition, but you don't wank to sink money in diamonds. I just wanted to say there are alternatives.
