With This Cheap Ring

You know the standard (set by the jewelry companies, of course) that a gentleman should spend the equivalent of 3 months salary on an engagement ring?

Well, guys, if you've been waiting to get engaged, but you like to eat and pay rent for 12 months of the year, not just nine...have I got a solution for you:

So whether you make 8 bucks per year, or you're just a little bit of a skinflint, this vast array of choices will get you in good with your lady friends (or guy friends, am I right?):

Of course...
...buying wedding and engagement rings from an outfit named Harem Co. might be a wee bit of an odd way to start a life together...
